Memories of Stoney Creek
“The coaches always pushed us to be better. Whether your goal was to play for Team Ontario or Team Canada or NCAA Division 1 or CIS, they were going to help you get there. I just had pride playing for that program knowing that they cared about where we went after Stoney Creek.
“Our coaches, Glenn Boles and Stacey Marnoch, gave us a real sense of what the next level of hockey might be like. Whether it was having us stay in a hotel with our teammates instead of parents, getting ourselves to practice an hour early or sending us email directly instead of to our parents, they put the responsibility on us.
“There was no [defining] moment where we won the PWHL or provincials, but we always had a chance to win. Our coaches did that for us. That was the most fun – just always knowing you could beat any team.”
