To represent the best of Canada is such an honour, it's chilling. There is so much excitement.

That was such an important time for us, as a team. It was our second gold medal in a row, following Salt Lake City, and really established ourselves as the best team in the world.

Honestly, I believe that you are only as good as your last game. And so there were games and tournaments and days when I was like, "I'm probably the best player in the world." And there were some where I'm like, "Oh god, I'm terrible." I think that pushed me all the time.

I'm really happy that it's in Russia. I've had a lot of success here. I had my first world championships here when I was younger so I am happy to do the Olympics here. I am really enjoying myself.

Am I worried? Sure, I'm worried. When it comes to the Olympics, it can't be a predictable finish.

The one thing I'd always wanted to do in my career is push myself out of my comfort zone - I think I'm really comfortable with being uncomfortable. So that's why I played pro men's hockey, that's why I played softball and hockey at the same time, that's why I'm not afraid to speak up - that's just who I am.

People would say, 'Girls don't play hockey. Girls don't skate.' I would say, 'Watch this.'
