"Being one of the foundational players that kind of helped build the program [in Toronto], it means so much to me. But at the end of the day, when you think of an opportunity to go to an expansion team and to be able to bring what I bring off of the ice, but to be able to bring the level of play that I also bring on the ice, I think is something really special and something that [Vancouver GM Cara Gardner Morey] had recognized and identified with me, and something that I really appreciated."
The event doesn't work without those guys. We're happy that they're here. I'm hoping, especially for the first timers, once they start playing and see how it’s run, that they really enjoy themselves.
