If Colleen Howe had been a hockey player, she would have been a centremen. I can see her as a centreman because you can do what you want and go wherever you want to go.

For as long as I can remember I wanted to be a professional hockey player.
You know there are so many people that have touched your life both on the ice and within your career in the NHL whether it be owners, GM's, coaches, players, trainers, all the way down. And that doesn't even account for all of the people that you encountered outside of the game that you met along this trip, too.
I applied a lot of the same principles I used in hockey into my acting. I might have had some naive ambitions of making the NHL, but thank God, playing hockey gave me a good foundation for everything else.
Katarina Witt. She was the ultimate competitor. She would just stare down people before competition. She was relentless on the ice.
When I was growing up, you didn't know there was a women's national team. Now girls grow up dreaming of playing for Canada.
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.
There were no women's players I knew of. I didn't even know women's hockey existed.
