"Dear Mom & Dad, I have officially become a blogger!"
A Stanford education, a degree in Mechanical Engineering and now I'm a blogger. Who would've ever thought that my pursuits would lead me to writing? But here I am. I am now officially a member of the Hockey.com team and this latest pursuit in my life is pretty exciting for me.
Life has a mysterious way of leading us towards opportunities and writing for Hockey.com is just that; a great opportunity. I have been involved in hockey for nearly 30 years and have seen women's hockey go from "unacceptable" to a world stage. It's an exciting time to be a part of the sport and I can now finally have a forum to get the word out on women's hockey. And there's so much to tell...
From Canada's recent silver medal performance at the World Championships to the creation of the new Canadian Women's Hockey League this past summer. I want to be able to share with the readers of Hockey.com the ins and outs of our game. What makes women's hockey different and what makes it the same? Who are the personalities that graze the sports headlines and what are they really like in real life?
I'm not going to be a gossip columnist, but I will certainly try to show how incredible these women are that play hockey at the highest level. What is our world really like? From full time jobs and motherhood, women's hockey has a unique vantage point on the game and I'm excited to be able to tell its story.
I've been fortunate to have been a part of the National Team for 10 years as a goaltender and that experience should serve me well as I try to be your guide into the women's hockey world. Whether you're already an avid fan or you're new to the game, I hope you enjoy my insight into the women's game.
