  SPEAKER_04: Marcelo, you're a busy man, correspondent for the World Cup.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_04: You're working with CBS.
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_04: I love that your time for us.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_07: What's going on, Pat?
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, just a little quick update.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_07: Let's see.
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_07: The US, and I gotta be honest, this full circle.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_07: When we got to the stadium, 76,000 people um waiting for the US to come out.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_07: Uh the stadium erupted when the US walked out.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_07: And I think they felt the energy.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_07: Because to be honest with you, that's probably the best performance.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_07: The best, yeah, I'll go best performance I've seen in a while from them.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_07: Uh place was electric, screaming.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_07: People were celebrating.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_07: You know, when you win 4-1 and you take three points in the opening game is exactly the way you want to start.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_07: They got plus three, they're in first in the group.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_07: Um, and I gotta be honest, uh Mulligan played absolutely fantastic.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_07: Two great goals.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_07: One was taken away because he was offside, he could have had three.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_07: Um, just was just reading the game well.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_07: He was moving well, he was finishing, absolutely fantastic.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_07: Took Paraguay completely out of their game.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_07: They never felt comfortable.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_07: We never saw them get into a flow.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_07: When you take out their best player, Almarón, who they couldn't even find.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_07: In Sinho, they couldn't even find the U.S.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_07: just pressed them and pressed them and re-pressed them until they were uncomfortable.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_07: Um, yeah, they got to go back to make it three to one.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_07: But then, you know, when you bring in subs, they're supposed to make a difference.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_07: Gio comes into the game and scores a wonderful goal with the outside of his foot, bending it around the keeper to make it four to one.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_07: But um, yeah, that's probably the best performance I've seen this team uh over the last year.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_07: Uh I mean, running, pressing, energy all over the place, slide tackling people, being aggressive, fouling at the right time.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_07: Um, subs were made perfectly to give guys a chance.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, the only problem was that Christian came out at halftime, Politic.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_07: Um, they're talking about maybe a calf injury.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_07: I watched a report today.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_07: He is training off to the side, not with the group.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_07: He's off to the side, and he's training with the trainer doing some work.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_07: So looking at the video today, I can't see there being an issue uh for him on Friday.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_07: But uh either way, uh, you know, it's nice to have him back uh if he can play, and if he can, then you just have to slip in a Gio Reyna or somebody in that in that position that uh you slip in uh Sebastian Berthalter in the back, and you can push uh you can push Tillman forward a little bit.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_07: So I don't think there's gonna be too much of an issue in that situation.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_07: Uh Australia, what can I say?
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_07: I think they surprised a lot of people playing against Turkey, winning 2-0.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, defended very well.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_07: They were winning all aerial battles, they were tackling on the ground, they were blocking shots.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_07: This is a team that basically you played a 5-4-1, they played a low block, they defended, they cleared balls, they hit you very, very good on transition into counterattacks, with especially with the two players.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_07: I believe his name is uh Tore and Ira Kunde.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_07: Ira Kunde is the guy that scored the goal, took off on a breakaway on a counterattack.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_07: So they could cause a little bit of problem in the back, but I think with the back line, how they've been playing, especially with uh Chris Richards back, and also uh Alex Freeman had a great game, Tim Ream.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_07: So I think that the U.S.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_07: will be ready for this game.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_07: Um, a few other notes on the side.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_07: Uh FIFA mandated a three-minute hydration break at the 22nd minute.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_07: So it's basically turned into four quarters, Americanized a little bit.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_07: Um being not a big fan.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_07: I'll be honest with you, not a big fan only because um I'm a purist.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_07: The game was built, it's got a flow, it's got a rhythm, and now in 22 minutes, you've got to stop that flow.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_07: You take a three-minute hydration break and you come back.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_07: If it's needed, if it's over 90 degrees, you know, I get it.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_07: I get it.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_07: Been there, done that.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_07: We didn't have hydration breaks back in the old days.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_07: We played in 95, 98 uh uh degrees, but uh they're doing a hydration break.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_07: I was watching uh Van Dijk, the Dutch uh center back, and he even said today that he didn't like it.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_07: He said that uh he's watched football for a long time, but he doesn't think there's a need for it, especially if it's not mandated, you know, by the the the weather outside of it's not more than 90 degrees, there shouldn't be a break, and I'm gonna have to agree with him.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_07: I I'm a purist, I like the game, it's got ebbs and flows in in 45 minutes, but it shouldn't be stopped for three minutes, so you can go get hydration, you can get some water.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_07: Coaches can do move things tactically.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_07: It's it's almost to the point where it's just you know, it's it's not what we do in our sport, it's not our sport.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_07: And uh, but it's good to see that other players are out there and are starting to comment a little bit on the fact that they're not big fans of that.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_07: It is Americanized because we are we are going basically it's four quarters, you know what I mean, but not uh not a fan of that.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_07: So um surprised Brazil, Morocco 1-1.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_07: I think people were very surprised uh that Brazil didn't have a very good game.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_07: We thought they would control the game and dominate a lot of people did, but uh, I gotta be honest with you, Morocco was fantastic, moved the ball around, they knocked it around, they controlled the midfield.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_07: This is a team that uh that you you gotta be careful a little bit.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_07: They're they're very good.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_07: Um so we'll see what happens.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_07: They reach the semifinal uh last World Cup.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_07: Um they're expected to to have a similar kind of World Cup, so we'll see what uh what happens.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_07: Uh another interesting one, um Curaçao played in their first World Cup game, and they did well for about 20 minutes, and then it little by little it kind of started falling apart.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_07: It ended up 7-1, but so many positives.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_07: First World Cup, they got a goal against one of the favorites that it's in the top five or six to to win the World Cup.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_07: Um, the way they celebrated, the way they enjoyed themselves.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_07: Um, you know, I mean, it was it was it was a historical night for all the fans and that team of Curaçao scoring a goal and making it to the World Cup.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_07: So more power to them.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_07: Um let's see, Scotland uh earned their first win in a World Cup since 1990.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_07: Um hard game.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_07: It was it was a difficult game, but uh they found a they found a way they managed to to get a result, we'll say, and uh and do something, you know.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_07: I mean, I don't know how far they'll get.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_07: It's a great story, underdog, but uh we'll see.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_07: We'll see what happens.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_07: Uh let's see, Qatar and uh Switzerland tied 1-1, which was quite interesting.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_07: Um what happened today?
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_07: I think the biggest surprise is uh Cape Verde.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_07: Cape Verde tied Spain, um, which no one saw coming.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_07: None of the betting, I can guarantee you, Vegas is on its head right now, thinking that Cape Verde, everybody thought that Spain was going to be able to probably 3-4-0.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_07: And uh it was it was wild to watch that game.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_07: Um, they did such a great job.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_07: Cape Veteran did a such a great job of defending nice tight lines, not a lot of gaps between, were very aggressive, and actually had a chance at the end on a corner kick to win the uh the game.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_07: But they got out of there with a point, which I thought was was was surprising to everybody.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_07: That's probably the talk of the town right now of what what's happening here at the World Cup.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_07: That tie today threw everybody for a loop.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_07: So I think who do I think will be the favorites right now?
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_07: I'd have to say not Spain, the way they played today.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_07: Um uh we'll wait and see what happens.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_07: Uh we haven't seen France, Argentina play yet.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_07: We got Norway still to come, but I think some of the teams we thought were gonna be favorites um let us down a little bit.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_07: Spain didn't do a great job, um, didn't play well, but uh but we know what they have.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_07: You build into the tournament, so we'll see what happens there.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_07: Um US, like I said, US, great, great start.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_07: We love that.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_07: But uh right now I'd have to say I can't wait to see France play, Argentina play, Norway play, and and kind of see where where we go.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_07: You know what I mean?
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_07: Right now you'd have to say Germany is uh looked pretty good, pretty solid on that one.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_07: Dark horses, god, who could be the dark horse?
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_07: I would say Japan could be a dark horse.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_07: Uh we haven't seen Colombia, but Colombia is a dark horse.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_07: So um Ecuador, it's a little disappointing.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_07: I think that they were they were um a little surprised they had their opportunities to to shut down the game and the first half score a goal or two.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_07: They just couldn't make that final pass.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_07: And then I recost ended up scoring and taking the one-nothing victory on them.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_07: And remember, this is a team from Ecuador who only gave up five goals on World Cup qualifying.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_07: So a little surprising to see that they couldn't finish that game off.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_07: Best was uh Cave Verde today.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_07: Not gonna lie, it was fun to watch to see how they celebrated after the game.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_07: A historical day.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_07: You could see the fans were emotional in the stands.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_07: So I think that's probably the biggest uh the most uh the biggest surprise that we saw.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_07: Um, I think on the other side, the worst was the fact that you know it, Spain couldn't win today.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_07: Spain couldn't find a way to to get the ball in the back of the net.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_07: They just couldn't find a way to put that last pass in.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_07: But there's still plenty of room for uh for growth.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_07: They've got two more games, and we know more than likely 99.9% that they're going to probably get into the next round.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_07: So anyway, that's my update.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_07: I'll give you some more after uh a few more games pop up.
• 11:09

  SPEAKER_04: Um you started playing hockey at a at a young age.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_04: Why don't you do walk us through some of that?
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, when I was uh I think introduced to hockey right around seven years old.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_01: Um pretty funny, no family played hockey at all.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_01: Uh my parents actually had really no idea what was um going on with in like the hockey world with boys, girls, and playing hockey, what was uh they were just weren't familiar with it.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_01: Um but I had a neighbor directly across the street, his name was Tom Prattell, and uh he was the one who actually introduced me to hockey.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_01: He was always rollerblading in his backyard.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_01: Um and I would go over there and kind of peek over the like older guy.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_01: When I was seven, he was probably like fourteen.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_04: Okay.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_01: So um, but he was a great player, and I saw him rollerblading one day, went over there, peeked over there, and I just I was like, I want to do that too.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_01: So he let me kind of start playing with him and his buddies.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_01: He ended up going to St.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_01: Rita and then playing in Montana.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_01: Uh um Wow.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the rest is history.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_01: My dad blames him for all the money spent after those years.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_01: So um, but a lot of credit to him for sure.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_04: Well, yeah, it's i i it it is not cheap hockey and it's a lot of time as well.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_04: I know you um were with the St.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_04: Jude, the St.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_04: Jude Knights.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_04: A historic program on the South Side, Wayne.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_04: They they have like they're they're huge.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_04: Actually, my son was part of the St.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_04: Jude organization for a while.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_04: Um but you know, it it is time and money.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_04: Obviously, it it paid off.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_04: But at what point did you realize like you may be a a special player?
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean St.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_01: Jude's an incredible organization.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_01: You know, my parents uh put me in there with the boys at the start for a couple years, and um you know, all the trips taken out of school Thursday through a Sunday was pretty fun.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_01: But uh playing with the boys, it was very eye-opening, you know.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_01: They push you very hard and um very grateful for that experience.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_01: But I would say when I moved to girls hockey when I was around nine or ten, um I kind of felt totally fell in love with the sport.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_01: And I have the boys to thank for that just for pushing me around, you know, growing up with two older brothers, I was kind of used to it.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_01: Um but when I started playing with the girls, I would say around 12, 13 years old, that's when I knew is what I wanted to to pursue in the future.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_01: And um yeah.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_04: And it's a like uh within rules, this is you play co-ed, you could have you know girls on the team.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_04: And was it a was it obvious or did you have like long hair coming out of your helmet?
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_04: Or did uh did what people maybe not know right away?
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I let the hair flow.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_01: I um made it known that I was a girl playing with the boys.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_01: Um people were just very shocked to see when I was like throwing bodies at the boys and they're like, oh, this girl can handle it.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_01: So um, but no, that was a blast.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_01: Lots of good memories, lots, lots of good road trips, but gonna miss it.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I love the uh the fact you talk about playing physically because I listened to a couple of your interviews.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_04: Uh great appearance on uh spitting chicklets.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_06: That was fun.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_04: Actually, I have my son here.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_06: I wanted him to read some of the quotes from the episode.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_04: What my favorite one being like, I wish we could do that.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_04: If I could beat the shit out of somebody, I would enjoy that.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_05: When I heard the voice and then when we just met her just now, I was like, man, you are not what I was expecting.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_05: I was playing somebody like six, eight, yeah.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_05: You know what I mean?
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, looking like a Viking, you know, you know, I'm like, wait a minute.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_05: I thought you were her driver.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's awesome.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_01: No, five, four.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_01: Got all my teeth in in place.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_04: No, just never had any issue with the teeth?
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_01: Never.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_04: As physical as you play?
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_04: So where does this chippiness come from?
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_04: Is it this outside thing?
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_04: You think you got a little edge to you because of uh that or uh I'd say partially.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_01: Um growing up, I obviously had two older brothers who beat the living crap out of me every single day.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_01: I had to learn how to kind of handle my own.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_04: Do they like when you tell that story?
• 16:53

• 17:48
  SPEAKER_01: Somewhere in the room.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_04: I love the uh the fact of just your makeup as a player because you have this physical side of you, but you're a goal scorer.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_04: You're an offensive more than a threat.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_04: Like that's your specialty.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_04: So you don't always see that in in hockey.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_04: That the scorer is also like a semi-enforcer or ready to get a little chippy in in the corners.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean it's kind of finding like a balance.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_01: You know, hockey's a very unique sport where you have guys who are guys or girls who are just like those mean players, those fighters who are gonna go be willing to get dirty and in the corners and stuff like that, you know, and I'm willing to do that too.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_01: But I also love to score goals and celebrate with the team.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_01: So like I said, finding that fine balance between um being playing super skilled and also playing with uh with an edge.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.

• 19:27
  SPEAKER_01: Oh but yeah, she's uh unbelievable person.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_04: And she was somebody that you would maybe consider like a a role model or someone that's yeah, absolutely.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_01: I mean she's been the one who's just kind of gotten me to love the sport a little bit more, you know, and um what do you mean by that?
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_01: Just find I find Kendall to be someone that I look up to um not just in hockey, but like outside of it.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_01: You know, when I was younger, she allowed me to come work her camps and we were sitting down one day and she was I think I was like 15 or 16 years old helping her out with a camp.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_01: And she was sitting right here and she was like, Oh, like one day me and Murph are gonna play on the national team together and and and she's gonna be on the Olympic team.

  SPEAKER_04: So it really is like something that uh the the women's game has grown so much in your lifetime.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_04: A lot of it uh because of people like you and inspiring others uh other girls to to pick up this sport, it really is uh blowing up.

  SPEAKER_01: Um she's been a huge person that's made this happen.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_01: Um she reached out to Billie Jean King, blah blah blah.

• 23:38
  SPEAKER_04: Um, and and I know these moments are probably you know, they almost roll off you at this point, considering what you've been through.
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_04: You mentioned being on the national team.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_04: 2022, you're in Beijing.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, you guys won a silver medal that year.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_04: I watched a bunch of interviews and I heard how this stuck with you.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_04: You know, winning silver, losing to the Canadians in Beijing.
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_04: Can you talk about how that motivated you to the next games?
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_01: It's a punch in the gut.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I mean, they're our competitor, like they are we hate them.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_01: Let's just put it that way.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_04: Um I love like fast forward, you guys are currently the gold medalists.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_04: You beat them, you redeemed the loss, but now you still have it in you.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_01: If you ask anyone, they'll give you the same response.
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_01: Like it's it's a war between us us two teams.
• 24:30
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but yeah, I mean, in Beijing, uh that one hurt, it stung a lot, you know.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's four years, every four years you get the chance, you know.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_01: And um, you know, that was my first Olympics.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, I was only on the national team for a couple years leading up to that.
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_01: So definitely played a little different role in Beijing than we did in it than I did in Italy, and I think that was something cool to kind of look back on.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_04: Um how old were you during these games?
• 24:57
  SPEAKER_01: I was 18.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_04: Holy cow! Yep.

  SPEAKER_01: So second youngest player.

  SPEAKER_01: Um, me and Caroline Harvey were we're the two youngest.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_01: So in history.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_01: Just kids.
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I don't know in history, but it's it's fairly like right around there.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 25:15
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so we were like the two knuckleheads on the team that were super immature at the time, keeping everyone else young.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 25:21
  SPEAKER_01: So, but yeah, I mean, in Italy, our team was just so ready.
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I don't think we could have been prepared any more than we were.
• 25:28
  SPEAKER_01: Um, obviously we um smoked everyone through those through those um what four not even give up a goal, right?
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, wild.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, our goalie was standing on her head.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_01: Like she is an incredible hockey player.

  SPEAKER_01: Aaron Frankel and Gwyneth Phillips.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_04: Oh wow.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_01: Um, yeah, they I mean all of them are incredible, and obviously when you have as good a goalie's like that, it makes it easier to play in front of them.
• 25:55
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so yeah, I mean being in Canada in that gold medal game, Megan Keller absolutely dangling the defender.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_01: Did you see that video?
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_04: I love that dangling.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_04: Did you see that video?
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_01: It was nuts, and I mean just being out there, being able to celebrate with your team, it's a pretty special feeling.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's gotta be.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, it's incredible to think uh and I want to talk about China for a minute because being in uh I've only been uh like Hong Kong.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_04: Have you ever been to China?
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_04: No, no, ever no I mean it's never true.

  SPEAKER_04: Like, where's my order?
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_04: We sent it to Panda Express.

  SPEAKER_01: Um so I was in practice leading leading up to our our weekend of games, and I did it to my teammate, and she was like, Don't ever fucking do that to me again.
• 42:16
  SPEAKER_01: Like, and I'm like, No, like I'm gonna embarrass you.
• 42:21
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I I'm trying new things, like let me try it against you, and it worked.
• 42:25
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't score.
• 42:26
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and then fast forward to these games, I was just picked up the puck in the defensive zone, loose puck, and um skated as fast as I can.
• 42:36
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, I'm gonna do it, like might as well try it if it doesn't work, whatever, and flipped up the puck, and the D went to go grab it, and then I hit it down between her legs, nutmegged her.
• 42:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 42:47
  SPEAKER_01: Not megd her and then um caught it on my backhand and didn't have much time to kind of catch it and shoot.
• 42:53
  SPEAKER_01: So saw my teammate Bella on the back door and sliced it over to her with one hand and she hit that thing in back door.
• 43:01
  SPEAKER_01: But the cool thing is is that if Bella Vinale doesn't put that in in the net and score that goal, it's it's not a highlight reel.
• 43:08
  SPEAKER_01: You know, it takes a team effort to to make things like that happen.
• 43:12
  SPEAKER_01: So, but I mean it was all over the internet, which is pretty special.
• 43:16
  SPEAKER_04: Like most incredible assist of all time.
• 43:20
  SPEAKER_04: I mean it was something.
• 43:21
  SPEAKER_01: It was crazy.
• 43:22
  SPEAKER_01: I couldn't believe it.
• 43:22
  SPEAKER_01: I came on the bench and and my coach was like, You're nuts.
• 43:27
  SPEAKER_01: He was like, Like, how does that like I dream about doing that, like stuff like that.
• 43:33
  SPEAKER_01: But um that's no, it's it's pretty special, especially like seeing things on Twitter about women's hockey, like being as skilled as as men's hockey and and stuff like that's just important for growing the game, and I'm happy that I can just do do that a little bit.
• 43:48
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it is great hockey.
• 43:49
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, it really is.
• 43:50
  SPEAKER_04: And uh I saw one of your penalty shots too, which was phenomenal.
• 43:54
  SPEAKER_04: A little bit of a drag, and you just picked it up and put it up top right.
• 43:58
  SPEAKER_06: Yep.
• 43:58
  SPEAKER_04: Um is that something you improvised or do you have a when you are in a penalty situation how many shots do you have in your mind and are you picking one as you're skating or you kind of know what you're gonna do before the game?
• 44:14
  SPEAKER_01: I usually have one um set.
• 44:17
  SPEAKER_01: You know when I go to bed at night I probably watch like an hour worth of hockey highlight reels.
• 44:24
  SPEAKER_01: Same.
• 44:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah you have to you know it's it's about like putting that stuff in your head and when I come when it comes to game practice mentality I'm just I have things in the back of my head that I'm looking forward to trying and that one I I knew I was doing it and then oh yeah um yeah well that was a cool that was a nice one and I was pretty pretty excited the team was pumped up did a dab as a celebration I looked back I look back on that and I'm like did I really dab so but my my teammates were like you you won't do it and I was like yeah like they were like who's gonna do the dab and I'm like whatever might as well be me like I'm I've already had so many things and I just did it and I look back on I'm like that was so like 2000 like crazy so in the moment my dad look at our celebration highlights before the next day literally after the game my dad's like what the hell were you doing like with the selling yeah he's like what is that I was like it's the dab you have a lot of those in your uh Rolodex too a lot of different always what's your favorite celebration um I would say either like jumping into the glass really hard or like oh for real yeah it's just like I'm hyped up you know yeah yeah just boom yeah I know my uh team doctors got really mad because I had shoulder surgery so I would they were like stop like you're ruining your shoulder and I was like I can't help it like it's just like the glasses in front of me with shoulder up yeah yeah the right one right yeah it's all strong now oh yeah so but yeah lots of celebrations um I would say my favorites one knee with the throw the patty cane oh yeah that's what I saw too yeah yeah that they look like Patrick Kane so hey Father's Day is right around the corner and I bet you don't have a gift yet so here's an idea how about some Tiege Hanley it's a complete skincare system I use it every day face wash moisturizer the whole thing laid out simply too so there's no guesswork that's why guys use it because it's not complicated right now we're running 20% off the 90 day routines which honestly that's the move for the gift.
• 46:32
  SPEAKER_04: You're not just giving a one time thing you're setting the guy up for three months he'll use it he'll notice a difference and he'll wonder why he didn't start sooner.
• 46:40
  SPEAKER_04: Head to tease.com slash pat to grab it before Father's Day that's T-I-E-G-E dot com slash pat.
• 46:47
  SPEAKER_01: Who are the players that have influenced you the most or that you look up to in the on the men's side outside of women always love Patrick Kane a huge Blackhawks fan always um you know I was always a big fan of Andrew Shaw just his feistiness.
• 47:04
  SPEAKER_04: I mean you came up during the Blackhawks era right so this and I noticed that drew a lot of people towards hockey that game grew a ton versus when I was coming up in like 90s everybody was playing basketball and and now you know you see so many kids playing hockey in the street and a lot of these leagues blew up they built a rink in Morgan Morgan Park nice program there.
• 47:27
  SPEAKER_04: So I think that did have a big influence I'm sure that was uh part of your your journey.
• 47:32
  SPEAKER_01: Very I mean it's it was a special time met a few of them but not did you delete any beers I did not I did not um erase some brain cells yeah right erase some brain cells we gotta keep as many as we can of those um but yeah I mean growing up in that era was pretty special it was like watching hockey all the time the blackhawks were were always a um we were always big fans of them you know sitting in the backyard my dad had like this huge like alarm alarm and like every time the hawks would score it would like ring the whole neighborhood like it would that's how loud it was yeah it was nuts but uh yeah who else Ryan Hartman when he was on the Hawks big fan but I can Patrick Sharp I mean Marion Hovsa I mean yeah list goes on and on yeah so much talent a lot of deep uh rosters so it had the um do you have a story behind your number the number you were thirty seven thirty seven um yeah it's actually really crazy I was trying out and they just gave me three they had a piece of paper and it said thirty five thirty six or thirty seven pick your number and I was like that's all I get I was like thirty five's a goalie number how old were you at this point?
• 48:50
  SPEAKER_01: I was I think this was when I was eighteen eighteen seventeen or eighteen nineteen yeah eighteen right before I was on and then once I was thirty seven I kind of stuck with that for for the rest of the national team you know eighteen's my family number so that was 18 for the gophers my mom was a a legendary softball player oh was she really oh yeah she uh she was insane yeah oftentimes you hear this you know yeah you most of the time the parents are really great athletes too your mom played softball yes she was a gymnast before really messed up her knees real bad so but she was an amazing athlete and then uh softball she was uh I think she played outfield I don't know if she's got any highlight reels but she was diving for balls she always tells me about it when we're watching softball she's like these girls need to start like throwing their bodies on the line I'm like you're nuts so but um yeah she's in the hall of fame at St.
• 49:49
  SPEAKER_01: Xavier really uh Evergreen yeah that's very cool yeah she's she's a badass.
• 49:54
  SPEAKER_04: Did you play other sports growing up?
• 49:56
  SPEAKER_04: Do you think that do you encourage that for younger girls now like what would you say to someone coming up at you know seven eight years old like do you sell you play as much as you can play all the different sports?
• 50:06
  SPEAKER_01: I would I think playing as many sports as possible is amazing.
• 50:11
  SPEAKER_01: I played basketball volleyball soccer lacrosse baseball um what I was talking smacking all these sports too not always no basketball got feisty in like at most her redeemer like playing St.
• 50:26

  SPEAKER_01: I just coached my daughter basketball these last several years we just finished an eighth grade season this year dude I and I was talking about it eighth grade girls basketball especially you know these leagues where you you know they know each other they see each other uh around the neighborhood dude they get after it yeah very physical very that is fun it's it's cool like it's were you guys good were you pretty good at most of these I was okay yeah I love playing baseball with the boys yeah um like fast pitch you know striking boys out was always a good feeling softball was a little slower for my liking um but still really really cool experiences basketball was probably my second favorite sport um but obviously had to give that up for hockey same season so it's fast pace very I love when you switch from offense to defense in like you know that that's always just keeps it yeah but I feel like as like a younger girl girl or boy playing as many sports as possible like you find what you love to do like really fast and I think just getting that experience to to vast sports is is unique.
• 51:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah you know especially if you can do it why not right you know and you know it's a it's probably a pain for the parents going back to forth back and forth to sport to sport but I mean I was super grateful for the experiences I had playing so many different sports played lacrosse in high school that was that was fun but too many rules too many rules just let me like smack you know like you couldn't do can't hit people can't hit people no no body checking but through high school you played all four years or two years.
• 52:10
  SPEAKER_04: Two years so by the time you're like a junior in high school you're pretty much focused just on hockey just on hockey yeah now when does the season start hockey yeah hockey it was usually like September through March.

• 58:08
  SPEAKER_01: Oh really so hopefully I could change it one day.
• 58:11
  SPEAKER_05: Do you hope to become the the face of women's hockey I think it would be really fun to be someone who can do that.
• 58:21
  SPEAKER_01: You know I think it's really important to find ways to grow the game and I think that that's what I'm trying to do you know in any way that I can so um being the face of the league would be very fun and um looking forward to to kind of trying to do that.
• 58:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 58:37
  SPEAKER_01: So it's gonna be it's gonna be different though coming into a league that's um on the rise and 'cause the league hasn't been around that long right correct going on year four.
• 58:49
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah so you have a chance to really imprint yourself and like be associated.
• 58:53
  SPEAKER_05: Because it seems like a league once they have a face then it and it makes people familiar with who you are then they get interested in the sport based on the fact that they like you.
• 59:04
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely yeah yeah a lot of people have done done good at that so far too you know it's it's kind of interesting because at with when they had eight teams yeah they were um kind of starting to find like attachments to these players in some cities and then um with this expansion process those players are getting taken so people are getting upset that like their face of their city is is leaving.
• 59:31
  SPEAKER_01: So um I think that's what's cool with us coming in is that there's different faces now in these huge cities, you know, in Vegas or San Jose or Detroit wherever that might be in Vancouver or Seattle you know and um it's kind of giving us chances to to kind of be those big names which is exciting.
• 59:51
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah it's too bad I mean I mean I'm sure you don't know or like have you heard about what if Chicago gonna get a team are they talking about it or what's the deal?
• 1:00:01
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I don't know.
• 1:00:02
  SPEAKER_01: There were talks about it this year but not really sure what kind of held them back for from from not doing that.
• 1:00:08
  SPEAKER_01: I mean nothing against San Jose but they got a team I can't believe we don't I I bet we will soon I know and they had they they had good attendance for the two two two games they had here at all state you know but uh hopefully one day because women's hockey here I feel like is is really growing you know you have a lot of a lot of girls who um me Kendall Jesse Confur Savannah Harman ton of girls who are play from Chicago um who are playing in this league so you're seeing a lot of a lot of girls register for hockey which is exciting um but Chicago would be a hot spot.
• 1:00:43
  SPEAKER_01: Do you have a favorite arena or town some cities that you love to play in there's been a lot yeah um we played at um played in LA is that staple center oh yeah that was that was a really cool experience out there um playing USA against Canada um but there's a ton you know Cleveland and Buffalo were very cool the areas were fun um have you ever partied with the Canadians no is there is that a line like you will never even like in the Olympics are for two more years and you you run into each other is there any kind of like hang?
• 1:01:17
  SPEAKER_01: No is it is there a site no I mean I wouldn't I don't know if my other teammates would uh uh no no all right but you could happen they could end up being your teammate yeah as as well right and they're still that line will not be it i if they're my teammate that's different you know but if it's like Canada's in a bar and I'm walking into the bar I'm I immediately exiting that bar like immediately yeah like if I like we just like can't do it.
• 1:01:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah like it's difficult.
• 1:01:50
  SPEAKER_04: Otherwise are you guys gonna be thrown down?
• 1:01:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah maybe yeah I mean that'd be fun though I'm in for it I'd like I like I'd love that yeah a big bar flat well then maybe you shouldn't walk out I don't know just stay in there just hang out you might just bump someone on accident yeah you might just hit town where's the Canadian bar yeah no but if I'm teammates with them that's so different.
• 1:02:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah you know I'll you know teammate is is that I I have their back yeah once they're on my team.
• 1:02:23
  SPEAKER_04: Well this is exciting I mean this draft is gonna be great you're gonna be a very high pick are there projections have you seen any predictions on not much I mean I'm battling against a good friend Caroline Harvey you know but not really battling I wouldn't say that word but um she's a she's an amazing player super unique you know had an unbelievable year um so up there with her which is exciting you know we've been on this like really fun journey since we were like sixteen together really kind of making all these teams and kind of sharing that experience with our family our family ah New Hampshire maybe I don't know somewhere on the east coast Main Maine okay but she went to Wisconsin so no it's exciting oh so you guys very battled always yeah no but it's it's a good it's a good thing always have you done any doing it's asking about about you know being the face of women's hockey have you done any like uh speaking engagements or road stuff like that getting out and uh some keynote um trying you know you do little things whether it's like little media stuff traveling like to the west coast or the east coast but um actually going out to somewhere near San Jose doing doing a little camp trying to get get your name out there is pretty important so but I feel like there's a couple little things not for sure not for sure are you starting to start thinking about I don't know I just speculate yeah they're putting things together it can go anyway no one knows the the the draft order Vancouver's got the number one pick that's all all we know yeah so well I'm sure you're aware about how many people you're inspiring and uh there's gotta be so many you know young players that are looking up to you and watching your highlight reel and learning more about you prepping for this because you've been on my radar a long time I've been hearing about you uh you know being from the neighborhood for quite a while so really appreciate you coming in yeah awesome to meet you and you're just starting out like put it in perspective put it in perspective for us the most veteran player on the most on the recent Olympic team would be who and how many Olympics did they play in?
