I Wish I Could Play The Whole

I Wish I Could Play The Whole Game And Come Back Tomorrow.

I'm Able To Give A Voice To The Athletes Around The World - Use My Degree For Something Other Than The Power Play.

But Inside Of Me I Knew That The Olympics Were Still There. I Was Still Young Enough. I Knew That Once I Transitioned Out Of Hockey, It Would Be Really Hard To Go Back.

The More I've Done Work With The Ioc The More I've Come To Realize I'm Really Excited About This, The Work That I'm Doing And The Impact That I Can Have If I'm Fully Committed To It.

It's Not About, 'let Me Play As Long As I Can So I Don't Have To Grow Up.' It's About, 'let Me Play As Long As I Enjoy It,' And When It's Time To Step Away, I Can Step Away Gracefully Even If I'm Still Good Enough To Keep Playing, Because I'm Ready For That Next Phase.
