00:00She would always try to make these moves like stick handle and boom she would fall
00:05and she would get up and she would stick handle again and I watched her really
00:08practice the craft and be crafty at it and I thought oh this is going somewhere
00:14and then she starts scoring a lot of goals and she was leading her boys team
00:18so I thought okay maybe we're on to something this is fun we had to start
00:24talking about how to get money and how who would go how would we afford it now
00:28mr. Edwards did a GoFundMe for the family so he put it out there like within a
00:33couple days so but that's when the hope really came alive we were really like oh
00:39okay people are supporting us maybe we all can go it was kind of been working it
00:45out in terms of what it means to her and trying to make sure that's not being
00:50offensive but also not minimizing what it means to be the first black African
00:55American or the first black to play on the national team but the the connection
01:00that people have just bringing them to the game it's it's been real it's wonderful
01:08because I never played hockey and when I start watching her as a little kid I
01:16thought it was wonderful I'm just was afraid she was gonna fall
01:21and hurt her second way
01:23you
01:25you
