GeneralFAN REACTIONS
She says that she and her teammates meet with mixed reactions when people learn they are hockey players. "Some are surprised, some admire us, but it's basically positive. Certainly there are sceptics, but they are men who are not strong in spirit. Men who think we should be cooking borscht aren't interesting to us, and I shall not deal with them."
