Memories of Stoney Creek
“The year we won the PWHL league and playoffs and OWHA provincials was a pretty special year and exciting to be a part of because not too many teams can say they accomplished that.
“I learned how to play both ends of the rink [in Stoney Creek]. The PWHL is high-caliber league and you can’t afford to be just a skilled player. When you get to the junior level you have to be a complete all-round, responsible player. I think the Sabres was a great way for me to step into that league and learn how to be a complete player and to play within a system. It was a good learning curve that got me ready for the next level.
“[Head coach] Diane Boles recruited me out of boys’ hockey. She had high expectations for us always. You always felt that she wanted you to get better and wanted you to develop. She always pushed us and wanted the best for us. She still keeps tabs on us. She sent Laura Fortino and me flowers before one of our [exhibition] games in Austria right before the Olympics. She really does care about all the players that come through her program.”
