Inclusion in women’s world hockey championship emotional for Canada’s rookies
When Sarah Potomak, Laura Stacey, Erin Ambrose and Renata Fast were told they would represent Canada at the women’s world hockey championship for the first time, their emotions ran the gamut, from shivers and tears to speechlessness.
“Before the call I was so nervous,” Potomak said. “When she phoned, I literally started crying.”
Head coach Laura Schuler says delivering good news and hearing a gush of emotion is a fun part of her job.
“You know what? That even happens with our veterans,” Schuler said. “It speak to just how, even with our veterans, just how important it is and how special it is to be able to play for your country.”
