Quotes :

“The biggest thing is just being organized and knowing when teams play. What we do is keep track of who is playing who in the other group and when it looks like things might settle out a little bit you start to focus on the potential teams you play. We break down games from both pools and we are as prepared as we can be through video, and you can generally see what they have done throughout the event and you build your game plan around that.”
- Head coach Troy Ryan (Spryfield, N.S.) on preparing for an opponent Canada hasn’t played since 2018

“To be honest, it caught me by surprise and made me realize I’m getting older (laughs), but it’s pretty special. I couldn’t ask for better teammates and a group to be a part of. To be part of the Team Canada environment is a privilege and I’m very lucky to be part of it.”

- Poulin on playing in her 150th career game

“Sometimes when you’re playing with Nurse and Poulin, they’re just great players and they’re able to find me. On the third one, Micah just made a great back-door pass, but I’m just trying to be ready to shoot the puck off the pass and luckily some of those are going in.”
