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

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

Many times I had to dig deep and perform. All of that adversity helped me and drove me to want to be the best.

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.
