Have you ever interacted with a player from the NHL and had a moment where they’re meeting you, they’re fanboying about getting a chance to meet their favorite Canadian hockey icon?

I don’t think so but every time I have the chance to just be part of a conversation with an NHL player, and I’ve had a chance to meet Sidney Crosby and Jonathan Toews. Those are players that I’ve always admires throughout my career, but the way they are too, that’s something that really stuck with me. Not better than you. They wanted to know about how it’s going in women’s hockey. They wanted to know about our part of life as well. And that’s something that’s so much more meaningful when you have a chance to talk to these unbelievable hockey players and you see them on the ice and you see how they perform.

And it’s always unbelievable for me to watch Crosby. How still at this age how dominant he is, but also off the ice, when we’re able to have a conversation, he actually cares where we’re at as a program, where we’re at as a league. He’s actually interested in that. (x)
