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.

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.

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

I hear they had our flag on their dressing room floor. I wonder if they'd like us to sign it?

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.

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