said Debbie Doyle in 1989 in Québec Soccer magazine, “Connie distributes the ball excellently. She controls the midfield. She moves forward with the ball and always plays it to the right person” (Connie distribue le ballon d’excellente façon. Elle contrôle le milieu de terrain. Elle monte avec le ballon et le donne à la bonne personne à chaque fois”)... said Annie Caron in 2021, Connie “dominated her team, she read the game in a way that was way ahead of anybody else at our level... she was the kind of player that may have made it look like things came easy to her, maybe some things did, but if it didn’t, she was just willing to put in the hard work and sacrifices”...
