2020 HighlightsPersonal Statement
As I grow and mature both physically and mentally, I continue to strive to reach the next levels within my sport. Those levels are junior hockey, followed by NCAA hockey. I work hard, and will never stop working hard, to develop as a player, student, and person. I see the results of my hard work through my consistent and solid play in net and high academic success; especially, at a high school that has a rigorous academic curriculum and a strong reputation for building young men of character.
I am extremely driven and competitive, and I am a good teammate who always strives to contribute to my team's success. Any coach that I play for can count on me to always give an honest effort and to do the right thing on and off the ice. I believe that I have the athleticism, work-ethic, character, and intelligence to be a difference-maker on a team that stresses a positive group mentality and strong academic performance.
