I'm not playing for lack of options. But this is such a fleeting thing. When I'm done, I'm never, ever going to be able to come back to it. I know Vancouver is my last go.

I feel honored and privileged to have represented the USA program over the past 16 years. USA Hockey will always be a part of me and I will cherish the experiences and memories with this team.

I still love hockey. It's just I'm at a different stage of my life and I think I'm just ready to grow in other ways outside of just being a hockey player.

I'm able to give a voice to the athletes around the world - use my degree for something other than the power play.

I'm in the perfect position. It's a sports position and a political position where I can help better the lives of athletes around the world.

I have enough muscle already. Now I want to use it in more efficient ways.
