Hayley Wickenheiser on her unmatched career, and life after hockey - Sportsnet.ca

What will you miss most? The game. I'll miss the game. I'll miss going to the rink, practice.. Even practice? Yeah, I'll miss practicing, I'll miss training, I'll miss playing. I'll miss being in that competitive environment. Of course I'll miss all the people and my teammates that came along with that.

An all around great interview by Kristina Rutherford to wrap up Hayley Wickenheiser's career. I'm a a little sad at the bit where she says it'll be a while before she's back on the ice for even recreational hockey.

This was my favourite bit though

KR: Unfair question for you here: What’s the highlight of your career? You can only pick one.
HW: Holy crap, the highlight of my career. Ah… you know what? I have many. I have Salt Lake, Vancouver, playing in Canada. Probably playing in Canada, winning gold and carrying a flag at the Opening Ceremony [in Sochi] would be my non-hockey highlight.

KR: That was more than one.
HW: I know. Let’s just say winning a gold medal in Canada, in Vancouver.
