I'm getting more towards that point where I'm ready to kind of pass the torch on and see the next generation succeed behind me.

In a way, by being fully committed to the Olympic movement globally, I'm better able to promote women's hockey and talk about women's hockey and put a face to women's hockey, to all the IOC members.

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

I find that I've tried to become a better hockey player every year and not just hold on. At the same time, I've also made it a point to increase or grow in some other area of my life. If I were just playing hockey, I would probably be done with the sport.

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

I'm getting more towards that point where I'm ready to kind of pass the torch on and see the next generation succeed behind me.
