I have been practising since I was 4 or 5 years old, but that wasn't really practice. I was just having fun.... I just loved to play hockey.

It's not that hard to stay grounded. It's the way I was brought up.

Wouldn’t it be amazing, getting up everyday and playing; doing something that you love to do?

I am putting pressure on myself to do my best and perform to my potential.

I think that everyone has an equal right to play and I think we've been supportive of that. With the Olympics and the controversy around that I think those decisions and those laws aren't necessarily something that I agree with personally ... their laws and their views.

It's tough, it's not the scenario that we wanted for sure. I thought our desperation was there, we worked hard, but it was one game, a lot can happen, they're a good team, and unfortunately we didn't win. We had some bad bounces, and in one game those make a big difference, and unfortunately it didn't go our way. But if we play hard like that, we play desperate like that and control the puck the way we did down low, I like our chances against any team.

My dad introduced me to the game, gave me a stick. Since then I've had a passion for it.
