If I went to the Ontario Hockey League, when I was done playing hockey, playing pro, I'd have to go back and do university. The biggest pro for school was I could be doing those both at the same time, which was really attractive.

The fact that my two best friends are going there in '07 as well just made the decision that much easier.

We had an idea that we wanted to win the national championship together since we were younger. But we knew we had to do what was right for us. We all saw when we visited that Wisconsin offered what we needed to be successful individually, so that helped.

You make a first impression and people never forget it. If people want to think of me as the wacky 'Juno' lady forever, I could think of worse ways to be labeled.

I'm a third-generation American, so I like that American-looking, Northwestern style with a flannel or jean shirt.

I have never been an ambitious person, and my participation in this industry is a fluke, but only male writers can afford to be coy and self-deprecating.
