25 Quotes by Melody Davidson

I expect them to play and perform like they've been performing. They made this team because they deserve it and they're not going to be cut any slack. It doesn't matter to me it's their first Olympics or maybe even their first time wearing the jersey. They made the team because they can play and make a difference and I expect nothing less from them.

We're pretty young as a sport. If you look at the men's game way back, it was just a one- or two-team tournament as well. It's a long process, but they're getting there. If we're not playing sharp, I could see Sweden and Finland stealing a win on us.

Our sport hasn't always been accepted by every nation.

I was honest. I just said we were horses---.

We just didn't compete. We'll be much better the next days and the next games, but that's just not acceptable.

We didn't do that intentionally. We were playing on smaller ice, so it's a lot more physical. There's not as much room to move, so if you don't move the puck along quickly, you're going to get hit.

We don't like to see any hits like that from either team. But whatever we use to motivate us won't come from the other team. It will come from us.

We've been coming along all year. Everybody's pretty excited. We've been on a mission since May and we're just going to keep working towards it.

We've got tremendous leadership on this team period - it doesn't matter who wears the letters.
