    I loved two things above all others: hockey and Reese. Becoming Reese’s guardian hadn’t been in my plans, but I couldn’t turn my sibling away when they needed me. I never anticipated how difficult juggling hockey and raising a teenager would be. Being a woman in a male-dominated sport meant I spent the majority of my time proving I could measure up...
