Jennifer Botterill is preparing for what could be the most rewarding natural hat trick of her hockey career.

In just under one year's time, the 2010 Olympics will open in Vancouver and Whistler, B.C. and Botterill will be pursuing her third consecutive gold medal with Canada's national women's hockey team.

"When Vancouver got the announcement that the Olympics would be there, it seemed so far away but now it's only a year away and that's what I'm training for.
