VANCOUVER — Sarah Nurse and her Vancouver Goldeneyes teammates know exactly what they're chasing.

They have yet to play their first game, but lofty expectations already surround the Professional Women's Hockey League expansion team.

That's just fine by Nurse.

“When we look at our group, we have high expectations of ourselves because we all know what we're all capable of," the star forward said. "We know what we brought in the past, and we know what we can contribute to this team. It may look a little bit different, but it's still great."

Heading into their inaugural game on Friday, the Goldeneyes won't be acting as if they're about to win the league championship, she added. Instead, they're looking to approach the tilt against the fellow expansion side Seattle Torrent as a first step.
