Why have you joined AMP? In my number of years both playing and coaching for Team USA, I haven’t seen enough progress in International Women’s Ice Hockey. I would like to provide any resources that I can to help other nations become more competitive, and in turn, provide International Women’s Hockey with more balance. I believe that this type of a program is essential in order to keep women’s ice hockey in future Olympics.
