"“When I think about you, I think of hockey, and not necessarily the accomplishments or the trophies that you've won, but I think about your pure love of the game and the passion you have each time you get to play," Taylor said. "Whether that's on a pond, it's in the basement, or playing mini-sticks in a hotel hallway, I know that every moment you get to play, you love it."

"She's right. I still love it after all this time. So that, that hasn't changed."

She continued, “And as your sister, to be able to continue to watch you live out your dreams, and to know that, to this day, you still enjoy it as much as you did when you were a kid, is pretty special. So, congratulations on this opportunity. I'm looking forward to cheering you and Team Canada on again. See you soon."
