Personal Statement
I love hockey and I am a hard worker. I grew up playing hockey in Japan and was selected to the Japan U9 and U12 national selection camp, and to the Nagano Provincial Rep team every year. I also played Spring Hockey for the BC Blackhawks for 5 years in Canada. Everywhere I've played, however, I've never been outworked. I'm not the biggest kid out there, but all my coaches tell me that I am a coach's player, because I'm coachable, I pass the puck well, I bring the team together and I work hard. And my International background helps me to fit in with teams that have players from different countries or backgrounds. I am also a good student, and I work hard at my studies even though I am busy with Hockey, and get all A's. I would like to go to an NCAA University, because I want to study, make friends, get my degree and play hockey.
