Hockey gave me a chance to go travel all over the world
and then now here I am today playing professionally.
Before, it was you know either college hockey
or if you were fortunate and good enough
you could play on the national team and you know there wasn't really anything in-between.
Women's ice hockey is so cool because there's just a tremendous amount of
skill and talent that goes into it particularly at this Boston Pride level.
Dr. Jackson and I are the team physicians for the Boston Pride and we attend every game.
We look for injuries, we attend to the injuries, and attend to the rehabilitation afterwards.
It's really fun working with a team like this,
especially a female team.
It kind of brings me back to my college days.
I played tennis in division one in college,
that's where I sort of saw the role of the team physician
and how they work with the trainer's in the students.
It's fast, it's quick, girls are strong and physical.
You know injuries are going to happen.
I got injured here last year.
I hurt my shoulder going in the boards awkwardly.
Dr. Jackson and Dr. d'Hemecourt were right there with me on the bench
and got me in for an appointment right away
so it was really high quality treatment and I was really happy to have them here.
They're fun and energetic in the hallway,
they always give us a fist pumps going out to the ice,
they fit right in really with the atmosphere.
It's a lot more than just taking care of the musculoskeletal or medical problem.
These athletes come in and they all want to play.
They're the most motivated people in the world so
you get involved with that full psyche of seeing a team win,
getting the enthusiasm of the team,
it's just a lot of fun.
