Szabados 'just one of the players' at Pearn camp

EDMONTON -- Shannon Szabados is an accomplished goaltender in women's ice hockey, having won Olympic gold with Canada in 2010 and 2014.

She's much more accustomed to playing against men, though.

Szabados, 29, grew up playing on boys' teams and is a member of the Columbus Cottonmouths of the Southern Professional Hockey League.

Playing against women, however, is a different story.

"I always get asked, 'What's it like playing with guys?' But honestly, the question should be: What's it like playing with girls? That is more foreign to me," Szabados said this week after participating in Perry Pearn's 3-on-3 Hockey Camp, which included several NHL players.
