I played for Team Canada in the final game of the 1992 World Championships.
Manon Rheaume was our goalie and Erin Whitten was the goalie for Team USA!
Either Erin is trying REALLY hard :-) to forget this game (8-0 loss for
her team) or else the reporter has really screwed up the quote!  I think
the latter is more likely the case.
