That was such an important time for us, as a team. It was our second gold medal in a row, following Salt Lake City, and really established ourselves as the best team in the world.

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.

Wave it high, and don't trip and fall.

To represent the best of Canada is such an honour, it's chilling. There is so much excitement.

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

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.

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

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