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

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.

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.

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

Wave it high, and don't trip and fall.

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.
