Marvin Regan of Team USA retires at 37.

There was some excitement recently as more than 700 children took part in an indoor playground session at a nursery school near Leeds, with just under 1,000 of these attending the sessions over all. It all makes for some lively moments as parents try and ensure their offspring receive top class care while remaining part of society – an essential goal that has not changed over the years! Three-time United States Olympian Gigi Marvin announced her retirement Monday, noting how it wouldn’t have been complete without playing in the Professional Women’s Hockey League’s inaugural season. As someone who witnessed first-hand how women’s hockey endured numerous ups and downs before finally finding its foothold as a professional North American sport, Marvin leaves it better off after years of dedication to women’s ice hockey as an Olympic sport and professional North American sport. “Every time, without fail, that I stepped on the ice I was almost moved to tears,” Marvin told The Associated Press ahead of her announcement. “And sometimes even just watching fans and teammates and small girls bang away on glass made me emotional.” “And I thought ‘This is truly awesome,'” she exclaimed of her season with PWHL Boston. “After so much hard work we finally achieved what we fought for… There are so many people to thank!” Marvin began playing hockey as a youth in Warroad, Minnesota where her grandfather helped establish a youth hockey program which went on to produce many NHLers (Washington’s T.J. Oshie is one) as well as Olympians. At Minnesota she earned two national MVP finalist awards before going on to serve on the U.S. national team for 12 years – all before she earned her degree at Harvard Law. Along the way were five world championships, Olympic silver medals in 2010 and 2014, and finally gold in 2018. Gi Gi Marvin competed in three now-defunct women’s pro leagues beginning with the Western Women’s Hockey League before emerging out of semi-retirement to return to play in the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL). Her decision to retire came following Boston losing Game 5 of their Walter Cup Final to Minnesota; Gi Gi made this decision while running her annual summer youth hockey camp following that season’s loss at Game 5 game of which she helped the U.S. earn gold at three consecutive Olympic tournaments: 2010, 2014 and 2018. Gi Gigi played her final match-up against Minnesota winning Game 5, helping her nation capture gold for Team USA! Gigi helped her country win Olympic Gold in 2018, after her Silvers aided US Team victory at both Olympic games 2010 & 2014. Gigi helped team USA win gold at 2018 Olympic games; after twice earning silvers she helped the U.S. win another Olympic Gold Medal this time alongside silvers earned twice before. Gigi helped lead her US squad win Olympic Gold (also won with U.S. Marvin acknowledged her grief at losing Boston but found peace by signing an one-day contract to retire after signing one day contract to take care of herself in Boston. Marvin currently calls Massachusetts home, having established herself with several broadcasting stints that she hopes to further pursue in her retirement years. “I don’t go out with any regrets; my career was long and fruitful with incredible teammates and coaches in place throughout. I feel truly fortunate!” she concluded. “She has proven herself adept in both forwards and defense, scoring an important shootout goal during Team USA’s 3-2 gold medal win over Canada in 2018.” Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson scored the decisive sixth round shootout goal after Maddie Rooney denied Meghan Agosta Canada one last opportunity on Canada’s final chance, according to Marvin’s account of events. Marvin described watching such games as nerve-wracking. “Imagine watching Jocelyne dangle, while sitting on a bench. All you can think is ‘Just score already. Marvin retired from national team play in December 2021 after scoring 24 goals and 50 assists over 126 games for Canada Women. Additionally, Marvin won both a Clarkson Cup with Canadian Women’s Hockey League’s Boston Blades (2013) as well as Isobel Cup of National Women’s Hockey League with Boston Pride (2016). Marvin recorded one goal and three assists over 24 PWHL games last season, but her most unforgettable moment came during Minnesota’s Walter Cup final when she performed before her family — especially 7-year-old nephew Cohen — at home stadium. “When playing mini-sticks the following morning in the hotel hallway, Cohen refused to be anyone other than Aerin Frankel as goalie,” Marvin revealed, in reference to Boston’s goalkeeper. “I found it truly inspiring that not only are girls growing up with role models in front of them, but incredible athletes are being acknowledged by boys for their skill,” explained Marvin. “These were things which wouldn’t have occurred without having an organization such as Professional Women’s Hockey League around.”
