The Match-Up with Aliyah

Sarah is joined by Olympic hockey champion and Minnesota Frost forward Taylor Fox – you know her as Taylor Heise. The PWHL star got married over the summer and now has a new last name on her jersey, so watch out for that on the ice! Sarah caught up with Taylor earlier this week before Team USA played their first of two exhibition games against rival Canada. They discussed how the team is preparing for the upcoming World Championship, the most fun parts about the off-ice hangouts with teammates during training, and how her marriage started with a beer pong meet-cute.
