We hope to have that type of bump-up again after the 2000 worlds. Women's hockey is the best form of hockey . . . We're not going to have violence in women's hockey while I'm around. We don't have the stick work and the bodychecking. We play a finesse game concentrating on scoring.
People appreciate that.
The competition level between about 40 players is so close that it could go either way with most of us. Geraldine Heaney has been on all five Canadian teams that have won world gold. I'd really like to play in front of my family and friends, who never get a chance to travel with me to a world championship. There is so much fan support here, so much more recognition and media attention that we don't get when we're out of the country. We welcome your feedback.
