You tallied a whopping five goals and 13 assists en route to winning gold at the 2022 Olympics. What were those two weeks like?
Beijing brought up mixed emotions. It was during the pandemic, and I was coming off a knee injury, so being able to hit the ice was exciting. I just wanted to play and be free.

You're now the face of the new PWHL. Any reason to think this league will survive longer than its predecessors?

We won't have to compete with other women's leagues for media or marketing.
Billie Jean King is also a board member. That's a huge vote of confidence.
