Quotes:
“I feel pretty good, obviously I haven’t had that many games, I’ve only had six before this, so not that many. I’m just trying to get better every game as we go through the tournament.”
“It’s been pretty amazing how supportive my teammates and Hockey Canada have been. It’s a lot for me to juggle, but Rory has got so many aunties around who hold him at meals and make sure he’s happy and my mom is here helping, so it’s been great so far.”
“Playing with Spooner and Johnny for a while and seeing them work their way back and work so hard to be where they are right now is inspiring for all of us. I think if you looked at the bench when both of them scored, it pretty much erupted. For Dachs (Danielle Serdachny), too, we’ve all been there, we’ve all had our first worlds, so we’re excited to have her in the lineup. We’re cheering her on, supporting her so she can be the best that she can be.”
“Every time we play Switzerland, they are always very physical and they have a lot of skill up front. For us as a group, we did a great job of getting better every period. Obviously we had to get that first period under our belt, but after that everything started to flow a little bit better and I was really proud of how the group played today.”
