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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Sometimes relationships aren’t meant to be forever. We stumble upon one another to learn, to love, to appreciate and become who we’re supposed to be.

I wanted stories, and I wanted them always, and I wanted the experience that only fiction could give me: I wanted to be inside them.

Do you think it's really the Boogeyman that killed Brent? You think it's back?""I sincerely hope not.""When you say things like that, I start to cry a little on the inside.

I understand the directors much more. I was always rebelling against them when I was a youngster, I didn't want to be told what to do. I had no identification.

Regaining the Champions Cup is not going to be easy.

I now believe that bêtes noires usually attack because we're thwarting our own destinies. Calming the beast turns us toward our best lives.

I tend to attack the challenges that are right in front of me, the ones that I have today.

All of the people of my time were bound with chains. They had forgotten the long fields and the standing corn. They had forgotten the west winds.

Brighten someone's by adding a spoon full of kindness.
