She's one of the most phenomenal people out there. She's very true to herself and to her friends. She's just that down-home kid.

We had enough defensemen but not enough forwards and she seemed to be somebody who could make the move and she was willing to do it.

She leads the team in points (nine goals, 13 points), so I'm pretty sure it's the right place for her.

She was very intense, very quick and clearly liked to play. Trying to harness that (speed and intensity) sometimes was the hardest thing. She'd get going so fast, she'd clean the clock of somebody and have no idea she hit them. She wasn't dirty; she'd just come up on somebody faster than she realized.

Reese said she was really sad she didn't get to see me do Wicked . All of our friends say we are the other.

That was what a best friend did: hold up a mirror and show you your heart.
