Team Canada National Women's Hockey Program
In 2013, I was able to create the opportunity to work with Hockey Canada’s National Women’s program. To keep a long story short, you know that saying “If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door,” by Milton Berle…well lets just say I had to build the door. My first role was in Penticton BC, when I worked with the Senior Women’s Program during their bootcamp. This was the start of centralization prior to Sochi, in which they won gold!
The next job opportunity I had was to work with our U18 program during their selections camp in Ontario, October of 2013. I made sure that I did my best and that they knew that I loved working with the Hockey Canada Staff and Team. The next year I was hired for my first team Sport Massage Therapist role with our Development Team in 2014 (this is where you are apart of the selection camp, development camp and competition). I traveled with this team to the 2015 Nations Cup in Austria and Germany (where we won).
The year after that I was asked again to work with their U18 Team as their head Sport Massage Therapist for their selections camp in Calgary, USA 3 game series in Lake Placid New York and then to Worlds in St. Catherines, Niagara Falls (we won silver at this event). This last year in 2016 I worked with our Senior Women’s Team, during their Fall Festival.
What a journey with Hockey Canada, Mel Davidson (GM of Hockey Canada) said once… “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.” This really resonated with me as I realized that this is what I strive to do personally and professionally every year.
