After Cherie Piper got cut from Canada's 2009 World Championship
team, she swore she would never be left off a team again. She lived
out that promise to herself on Monday.
The 28-year-old from Scarborough has already been to two Olympic
Games, winning gold in both 2002 and 2006. But since the Turin
Games, she suffered the death of her father and fell to a serious
knee injury. These factors sidetracked her training.
After being left home from the Worlds, Piper admits she debated
either giving up on elite-level hockey or re-dedicating and going
harder than ever after a spot on the 2010 Olympic roster.
