With just a few hours to go until the official opening of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, my thoughts turn to the athletes and their coaches who are in for an unforgettable experience. My memories of competing in seven Olympic Games are still so clear. I especially treasure those of the 2002 Games in Salt Lake City, when I was the head coach of the Canadian women’s hockey team.
