 So welcome to another episode of the virtual stable talk today we have women's ice hockey members junior goalkeeper Annika and sophomore forward Nikki Annika appeared in 12 games in the net making 11 starts this past season Nikki is assistant captain and appeared in 2016's for the Mustangs if you guys just want to start kind of just tell us a little bit about yourselves how you got to Stevenson when you started playing ice hockey any of that whoever wants to start well I started playing hockey when I was a kid my both my parents worked at the rink when they were younger and so they just brought me into it my dad used to play high is hockey in college so that's when I started I've played ever since I was like like five years old and then I mean I went to Northwood prep school for hockey and my friend Kira Collins she's on the Stevenson women's ice hockey team too and she kind of helps me get here like she opened up that opportunity for me and introduced the school to me and everything and that's kind of how I got here I came visited school I love the team I love the the science programs and everything so that's kind of how I got to where I am now. What about you Annika? I I mean I started playing hockey when I was like five my grandpa would like take me out to skate on the ponds and yeah I'm from Minnesota so yeah that's just like that's just an interesting concept to me like that yeah we're both from Maryland so like anything with like ice hockey we're just like what yeah it's definitely a different concept out here but same concept but so I mean I skate I started skating when I was really young and then I joined like the association hockey I was a forward till I was like 12 I always wanted to play goalie my dad was the he played for the Swedish Olympic team as a goal tender super good hockey whatever and he told me I could never I couldn't be a goalie till I was the best skater on the team so once once I was the best skater then I was allowed to be goalie which happened when I was 12 so cool cool what about both of your guys these majors what's your guys majors so I'm a nursing major okay and I'm psychology okay well I know when like both of you are not from Maryland and if you're from Minnesota Nikki you're from New York um what's kind of different about like growing up in those states in terms of like ice hockey compared to like now being in Maryland a little bit I mean ice hockey in New York is definitely more common than in Maryland so like a lot more people you know follow it or like you know more people that play you just run into people more often um but otherwise like who are you guys like NHL teams my fewest in New York Islanders Minnesota Wild Baby or you know I did jump on on the um the Vegas nights I jumped on their back bandwagon when they uh when they came out a few years ago so yeah yeah I jumped on Vegas for a little bit too honestly yeah but you know there's that whole curse thing where you your first team or first if you if you make it to the like playoffs and Stanley Cup your first year that your team like you won't go for the next 20 so yeah so obviously we're doing this online because of the whole pandemic so what have you guys been doing to keep busy I know before we started we heard that you guys still have team workouts five days a week what else are you guys doing besides uh binge watching um I'm I'm still in Maryland so there's not much for me to do I mean I guess I'm not like with my family or anything but I've been I bought a Nintendo switch and I've been nice that's what the men's ice hockey players told us last week that they bought Nintendo switches too yeah so I've just been ripping my Nintendo switch just playing games what games um well I just finished Pokemon it took me 27 hours oh my god um and I'm playing Animal Crossing now which is like a big thing so yeah I heard I heard that my friends are playing Animal Crossing too yeah it's so so much fun I'm like addicted um since I'm home I've been doing a lot of family stuff so like we play a bunch of card games board games we did watch um all the Marvel movies in chronological order so we just finished okay how long did that take um well we would only watch like one or two a day so honest I think it took like two or three weeks to do it like when we had time and stuff like that but first um segment teams to play relatives Jay if you want to start it off yeah first all right so yeah this could be any Stevenson woman's ice hockey player any coach any trainer any anyone involved with Stevenson woman's ice hockey first off we got most likely to prank a sleeping teammate on the bus I feel like Casey Stork yeah that's who I would have went with too that girl uses to sleep on a bus so she goes like when we travel to like mass or New York and we're on the bus for like nine eight nine hours she literally goes like stir crazy and the rest of us is like tapping her feet looking at the window trying to watch a movie not watching the movie asking people if they want to play card games that's funny all right um who's most likely to be late because they stop to get coffee coach Tori like you guys ever seen that meme where it's like oh the person showing up late with the coffee that made them late oh yeah good story that's funny I feel like I mean we're like we're like very very very like crazy or like strict about being on time so like our um like we show up to everything like 15 minutes early like if you're not 15 minutes early like we're all like calling you and freaking out that you're not there yeah yeah yeah most likely to survive and win the hunger games I feel like Ange can definitely like she'll be like the underdog but I feel like she can like she's scrappy like she'll be able to like come out with the what me you know most likely to become Instagram famous me 100% I agree I said I get bagged for my Instagram all the time or like social media in general are you posting like all the time or do you like care super about it I would say I did for a really long time I think this year I've been like way better about it I've definitely been more like present yeah yeah before definitely 100% it was like I feel like I went through a phase two where like I cared a lot about social media and I was like on it all the time yeah but I've definitely phased out of it a little bit trying to like heat my screen time down but oh my god my screen time right now when I went do you guys get the notifications on your phone on Sunday mornings I wake up and I'm like oh my god I can't look at that that's embarrassing I justify it because I take away like four hours because I spend so much time on TikTok it's like not even funny I downloaded TikTok like two weeks ago and I'm like that's with it now yeah it's crazy you can spend like hours on TikTok yeah yeah I woke up and yesterday morning and it said that I this is so embarrassing I can't believe I'm gonna share this mine said seven hours a day I'm on my phone wow I was at five I think a lot like I watch Netflix on my phone sometimes so like I justify it with that so Beyonce just dropped a music video it's poppin one of your teammates is just casually dancing in the background but they like didn't post anything about it like you just checked the Beyonce link and out of nowhere bang who is it just like literally just casually in the Beyonce video who would it be Marybeth Carter that girl could outdance Beyonce that's amazing yeah does she dance in the locker room and stuff yeah yeah yeah yeah want to be in a Beyonce music video I like was watching TikToks of people doing the Beyonce dances and I was like I could I would literally look so soon if I tried to do that we have a girl on my team who's like crazy about her TikTok dances it's me and the exposure Elizabeth Gargiolo let's go on to our next segment just some Q and As um so if there was one item on your bucket list that's ridiculous what would be on it that you would want to do before you died I think mine would be swimming with dolphins I've always wanted to swim with dolphins that sounds like so much fun I kind of would be scared though of what I don't know like them biting you or something the dolphin fight I don't know do what I used to um I used to work at the beach and as a lifeguard and we would do like these mild swims and one time we were swimming and I like looked to my right and a dolphin was like an arms length away from me and they smell so bad like really I could smell it I could smell the dolphin before I saw it and I like freaked out I was like flailing in the water I was like oh my god I don't like went straight to shore I was like I'm done but I feel like non-wild dolphins I don't smell or like trained dolphins I don't smell but this one really scared me well first at first I didn't know what it was like I didn't know if it was a shark or a dolphin and then I saw like a whole pod of them I was like it was really scary but I do want to swim with dolphins what about you in a cup um doesn't have to be like super realistic does it like you know um my dream if I could if I was able to I would totally climb out of Everest oh yeah yeah that's realistic you can do it that's kind of what people do it yeah but not me no way I can barely make it through preseason running no way you can't climb something comparable Kilimanjaro Kilimanjaro climb that that's just people climb that and it's not cold like that's a big mountain but it's not no way I guess I don't know yeah that's a cool goal though people like train the whole lives for that I know I'm behind maybe that's how to grab plans yeah post yeah post athlete plans when all right next one you guys can take this two different directions here so it could either be um one movie you can quote start to finish or one album you can quote start to finish you can go two different directions with this one um I have two movies okay so um Napoleon Dynamite classic and a Christmas story the Christmas story yeah so my mom one with the shrooches no no no this seems like the one with um oh where he sticks his tongue on the pole yeah okay I thought that was that's funny that you can quote that I thought that was on alone no no no I um my mom every Christmas that I've lived at home for 18 years when there's like a marathon and on AMC that when it's like the on Christmas Eve or Christmas Eve day they run for 24 hours a Christmas story and she will not let anyone change the channel oh my god that stays now for 24 hours and then I would watch Napoleon Dynamite with my mom for like like twice a week growing up till I was like 14 that's amazing what about you Nikki um so for me one movie is um The Princess Bride so like growing up my family like we watch it all the time and we still watch it now but um on the bus we um Jamie brought it and almost the entire team hates it except for the Princess Diaries the thing or my that's a different movie yeah that's a different bride is the one with hand or Anna what is it who's the main character I don't know I've never seen it um yeah and half the way is that the Diaries or the bride that's the Diaries oh I do know what The Princess Bride is I just googled it who's in that wrong and foreign it's an older movie and it has like really cheesy corny like yeah I've seen parts of it mm-hmm like it's not like a movie where you're gonna go and like look for like action it's like literally all like comedy and like all like stupid stuff in it it's really I really love it what's your guys' face I have so I have so many I literally don't leave I don't leave my room because I can't stand people ask Nikki that is sure she doesn't leave her room at all I would say my number one my number one I have two that are tied one my first one is people like chewing with your mouth open okay I can't and then people will like drag their feet when they walk I know that those are both very important those are yeah drag your feet yeah like when they make that sound it's like a drag and then a snap oh yeah there's somewhere I went to high school with that like I can just put your drag in their feet and I can just think of it also people who like not just like their mouth open while they're chewing just like I can hear them chewing it like puts me in the worst mood I can't I can't even think about it like I literally look at it Nikki what's yours for me it's when I'm like having a conversation with someone and then they look at their phone and they totally like ignore what I'm saying to them and like don't even like know what's going on like a whole story yeah and then so like my one friend Liz does this to me all the time in the middle of a conversation like we're going back and forth and then she looks at her phone and I could say anything I want to say like at all like it could be the weirdest thing ever she would have no idea I'm literally watching what happened and it's the funniest thing ever how funny house is on fire you grab the pets you grab the cash you can go and get one thing what are you grabbing my makeup bag 100% fast answer I like it make those expensive yeah for me it might be my record player really that's cool that's a good one yeah what are like some of your favorite records um so I have um I have a John Denver one that I really like to listen to and I have Greece um for Secret Santa this year my my Secret Santa Teya she got me a um uh Disney one because I love Disney movies that's so cool so those would probably be like my favorite one where did you get your record player from um I got it it's a new one yeah I always see like record players for sale on um Urban Outfitters dot com I always wonder if they're like legit or not so am I considered buying one just for like just for like show okay um so you consider buying a lot of things if it's like a game day and like we have like an hour or two to kill before like going to the ice rink like we finished for the day I'll just look over and maybe she's got like target dot com or yeah like so many tabs open on my computer but then I end up not buying like anything or I'll sit there throughout the day and I'll tell our whole office I'll be like don't think about buying this and then I just never do what did you what did you talk about for a week straight a cactus oh yeah someone bought a cactus and I talked about buying the iPhone 11 for like three months until I actually bought it that's valid though that's yeah phones are a whole thing they're like a six year commitment okay um if there would be if there was a movie made about one of you what celebrity would play you or what celebrity would you want to play you it can be like any time frame so like she can be like 40 years old and it doesn't matter I don't know this is a tough question oh duh Jennifer Aniston duh oh yeah that's a good guy he's nice you know I really don't know about this one who do you what movies do you like that like play main characters I don't know I like I like a lot of movies like I just like I like watching movies but I don't know I feel like I like watching the movies more than I like I actually like pay attention to like the people playing if someone's doing good acting or not yeah all right we're gonna move into some Stevenson woman's ice hockey trivia here so we start off with maybe an easy one who was the inaugural game against in 2012 you do you want like options yeah yeah all right we'll go a lie combing b buffalo state c utica feel like it's buffalo state yeah it's buffalo state yeah what is coach Tori's favorite NHL team don't disappoint her all right we'll go we'll go a philly flyers b capitals c tampa bay lightning or d the vegas knights tampa bay yeah all right um when coach Tori was little what did she want to be a a cheetah b a caterpillar c a figure skater or d a ballerina that's right oh anica was three for three there yeah um I was looking at like her 2012 roster bio and they had like kind of like questionnaires it was like really random wait let's hit let's hit them with a let's hit them with a bonus question um if coach Tori didn't want to play a hockey what sport did she want to play and then we'll tell you the reason why um it's an I'll give you a hint it's non-traditional for a female boba yeah yeah she said boba because she likes to stir things up her and I suggest going looking at it because her answers are like hilarious the donald trump steak one yeah she's one of her one of the people that she would want to eat a dinner with fictional ass president whatever one of her answers is donald trump because she could get a nice steak out of it i'm like all right so we're just gonna wrap up by if having you guys tell like a funny story that happened over the last season that some people may not know about that like really like sums up the woman's ice hockey team yeah men's ice hockey team told a story about how in the fall time all everyone on the team played catch the flag around the campus so like anything like that or like a funny bus story traveling story or happy story happy story whatever should we tell them what our walkout song is i feel like that's a good one yeah like in the locker room like between periods so between periods like when there's one so we like go out at a minute to get down the ice um and so we'll line up at like i don't know 120 125 and everyone's like lined up in number order because that's how we go out and like we'll blast um sexy and i know it nice that's a classic yeah that is yeah but is that playing just in the locker room yeah yeah i think another really good story from this year was when um it was the middle of jan term and you know like our bodies were run down we were tired and everything and coach sent out a text like the night i think it was the night before maybe that was early that morning saying that you like be at the rink at a certain time make sure you have uh running clothes and sneakers and and then she said make sure you like don't eat anything before you come so like we're all thinking we're going out on the turf we're gonna run and we're all gonna die and everything and we um we're in the locker room we're all like sitting there like nervous or all like antsy like we were like what are we doing thought you're in trouble uh tori and coach mega and walk in the locker room with chick filet for breakfast and we went and played laser tag and um then we did mini golf right after oh yeah i remember seeing all the stuff on like your guys's instagram story little looks like so much fun i knew that's what you're going with that story too that's funny that sounds like a lot of fun that's cool i haven't played laser tag in
