“The hockey community has helped me become a better player but also a better person while introducing me to lifelong friends.” -Michelle Picard “I don’t remember a time in my life where hockey wasn’t a part of it. Being a member of this group and representing my country is something I dreamt about since I was a young girl. It’s a dream that I never want to give up.” -Emily Pfalzer “It is an honor to be a part of this team, so getting the opportunity to wear the jersey is a privilege I work towards every day.” -Dana Trivigno “We compete day in and day out, pushing each other to be the best we can be for one family, one team and one goal.” -Megan Keller “The dedication and selflessness that is so strongly represented in every player, creates a synergy and bond that makes us feel like family immediately." -Zoe Hickel "They said I'm too small, I'd never play, I said, 'Oh forget that. I know I can play.'" -Jamie Hagiya “The invention of the sports bra helped remove a barrier for women and girls being active in sports; It and Title IX really conspired together to help them." -Lisa Lindahl "It's easy to come out and make a stance one time. People will talk about it that one time and then they will forget about it. We don't want this conversation to be forgotten about." -Tanisha Wright "In Australia, there's really no bigger award when you're voted captain. I know here it's a bit different. It's a huge honor." -Erin Phillips "The vast majority of the guy caddies are friendly. Once they realize you can take the ribbing and go back at them, they accept you. Any female in any male-dominated industry accepts that as part of it. The thing I like most about the caddies is that they are direct. If someone needs to tell you something, they tell you." -Missy Pederson |
AuthorHi, I'm Jenna and I'm a sports fan! I've been avidly watching sports since 2011 because I found that by watching sports, I would be able to communicate with my dad and brother better. Ever since I got into sports, I've been able to enjoy myself more when I go to sporting events with my family. Archives
