Inside the Ice: A Chat with Laura Stacey and Hayley Wickenheiser
Hayley Wickenheiser: Hey Laura, it’s so great to catch up with you! Last time we talked, you were just gearing up for the season. How are things on the ice?
Laura Stacey: Hey Hayley! It’s awesome to chat with you too. The season has been amazing but super intense. You know how it is – every game feels like it’s do or die!
Hayley Wickenheiser: Oh, I hear you. The competition just keeps getting tougher. But you’ve been killing it out there! What’s been your biggest challenge this season?
Laura Stacey: Probably balancing everything, to be honest. Between training, games, and trying to have some semblance of a personal life, it’s a big juggle. Plus, staying mentally strong during the long road trips can be grueling.
Hayley Wickenheiser: Totally get that. I always found road trips both the best and the worst part of the season. What do you do to keep yourself motivated when times get tough?
Laura Stacey: Music is a big one for me. I have this killer playlist that pumps me up. And, of course, remembering why I started playing hockey in the first place – for the love of the game. What about you back in your playing days?
Hayley Wickenheiser: For me, it was all about focusing on my goals and staying in the moment. It’s easy to get overwhelmed if you think too far ahead. And, of course, having supportive teammates made all the difference.
Laura Stacey: Speaking of teammates, the camaraderie in the locker room is incredible this year. It feels like one big family. We’re even planning a team bonding night soon – any tips?
Hayley Wickenheiser: Oh, team bonding nights are the best! Keep it light and fun. Maybe try something where everyone can relax and laugh together. Escape rooms were always a hit with my teams!
Laura Stacey: That’s a fantastic idea. I’ll pitch it to the girls. Thanks, Hayley! One last thing, what’s one piece of advice you’d give to young girls dreaming of playing pro hockey?
Hayley Wickenheiser: Never let anyone tell you it’s impossible. Hard work, passion, and perseverance are your best friends. If you love it, chase it. The sky’s the limit.
Laura Stacey: Wise words as always. Thanks so much for this, Hayley. It’s always inspiring to talk with a legend like you!
Hayley Wickenheiser: Anytime, Laura. Keep playing with heart and showing the world what you’ve got. We’re all cheering for you!
