Quote

"We were able to unite with players from different countries. We all believe in the bigger purpose behind it. Seeing how everyone's come together, and whether you were on the National Team or played D3 hockey you're a part of this and you have a voice. We're fighting for something bigger than ourselves. We're trying to pave the way and get young girls excited to be a part of hockey."
