She Plays Hockey and Blogs, Too

As we have been hard at work with our blogging, Caitlin K. Cahow '08, a member of the 2010 U.S. women’s ice hockey Olympic team, has been too.

Cahow was contacted by USA Today and asked to blog about her experiences leading up to and during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. “I’ve been blogging for two years now,” said Cahow, “and I love it. I enjoy writing and I think I will appreciate it when I’m older. It will be nice to look back and reread this journal I am writing. Basically, it’s a chronicling experience for posterity.”

But not only does the blogging mean a lot to Cahow and her future, so do the Olympics themselves.  “There are so many reasons why the Olympics are so special to me, which is why I keep coming back," she said. "Basically it represents two weeks when the world comes together in harmony and the only conflicts are in a setting of sportsmanship and mutual respect.”

And it sounds like respect is what the U.S. Olympic teams will be getting tonight at the Opening Ceremonies.  “Our outfits for tonight are wicked,” said Cahow. “They’re sassy and we will be looking good, so look out for us!”
