I don't like the reputation that the sport is all partying, and that you don't have to be athletic. Sure, there are some guys who like to party and others who aren't in great shape, but that shouldn't take away from the sport.

We've been starting slowly, I don't know what explains it. We did the same thing against Germany and Switzerland. We have to talk about it. We have to do something.

We're all pretty confident. The COC and all the sport associations have really stepped up to the plate with some extra funding, and I think we're going to have a good performance.

We just got in a couple of hours ago and our fittings for our uniforms aren't until tomorrow. We wore the uniforms that our association got for us to travel in so we didn't miss out on this just because we didn't have our official uniforms yet.

I didn't get much in because she was crying, which caused me to cry. It was nice to hear her voice and she's pretty excited.

Physically I had so huge an adrenaline rush it's a miracle I didn't bang it off the back boards.
