| Most influential person in career | Coach Crispin Parkinson. "He's the toughest coach I ever had. I feel like I'm pretty relaxed about sport and he's pretty rigid, so he helped me to become more of a professional athlete, so we were not just skating every day but skating with a purpose every day. With Crispin I went from the middle of the pack at Canada Cups to finishing in the top five pretty consistently." (CBC Sports YouTube channel, 01 Nov 2018) |
