I made a choice to fight on my terms and show my ex and the hockey world what a woman could do. The Society made me immediately regret it by demonstrating exactly how far their reach was.

But the people in my life refused to let me buckle under the pressure, reminding me what a team was really about-teamwork, camaraderie, and hope.

Hope that the next puck might score.

Hope that the next period would be different.

Hope that the game could change in your favor at any given second.

Hope was a hockey player's most potent tool. And I had buckets of it.

People still wanted to see me fail. But there were more who cheered me on, the number growing daily. The hockey world was ready for a change, to break away from a past that no longer existed, no matter how hard the Society fought for it to stay.

Coaching helped me fall in love with hockey again and gave Reese a fair chance to play. And through all the adversity and struggles, it brought me so much more-purpose, strength, and love. Now it would end with me facing off against anyone who threatened that life.

Put me in, Coach. I'm ready.
