I don't grasp for straws. I leave that to athletes swinging at easy gold. Twenty-four years later, there's not even a hint of parity in women's hockey. Somebody has to tell the truth.

We’ve been hearing about guys like Connor Bedard since he was 13 yrs old. We now know a lot about him. By the end of the month, we will know a lot about all the players on the World Junior Team. We will recognize them because we will have seen their faces so much.

There’s no denying, that shootout was wildly entertaining - so much skill on both teams. Still a terrible way to award a gold medal. Having been on both ends, it doesn’t feel good to win or lose in a shootout.
@HC_Women
should be very proud of that performance.
Thank you. I’m excited to work with the best players in the world, who also happen to be incredible role models. Together, we will continue to grow the game!
