I have enough muscle already. Now I want to use it in more efficient ways.

That's the awesome part. Little girls now have a chance to look up and see women playing soccer, basketball, softball and now hockey - and know they can win a gold medal, too.

I'm not playing for lack of options. But this is such a fleeting thing. When I'm done, I'm never, ever going to be able to come back to it. I know Vancouver is my last go.

It feels right. But it's emotional. Saying goodbye to anything you've done that long is hard.

There were no women's players I knew of. I didn't even know women's hockey existed.

I'm getting more towards that point where I'm ready to kind of pass the torch on and see the next generation succeed behind me.

When you look back from your Olympic experience, you never want to question whether you could have done more. The one thing you can control is your off-ice preparation.

I still love hockey. It's just I'm at a different stage of my life and I think I'm just ready to grow in other ways outside of just being a hockey player.

The more I've done work with the IOC the more I've come to realize I'm really excited about this, the work that I'm doing and the impact that I can have if I'm fully committed to it.

Right now, I'm standing behind the glass, and I guess that's a metaphor for how my life will be going forward.

In a way, by being fully committed to the Olympic movement globally, I'm better able to promote women's hockey and talk about women's hockey and put a face to women's hockey, to all the IOC members.

Gratitude is the vitamin of the soul.

The way you see the world is how you live it.

Any human anywhere will blossom in a hundred unexpected talents and capacities simply by being given the opportunity to do so.

If your brain is working, you always have no time.

Imagination has rules, but we can only guess what they are.

If you want to make your children brilliant, tell them fairy tales. If you want to make them more brilliant, tell them more fairy tales.

You can't save the world...save YOUR heart. Be a catalyst & create a life where you are powerful. Rebel. Be happy & allow others happiness.

Umpires are most vigorous when defending their miscalls.

I like adventures, and I’m going to find some.

What I tell ya? Don't blink! It's just gonna be over quick.
