Personal Statement

It has always been my goal to play at a high level of travel hockey. This will help me prepare to play for either Juniors or college hockey. In order to achieve these goals I attend elite camps, go to private lessons to work on developing my skills and work with a personal trainer to improve my strength and speed.

I'm a hard working player on and off the ice and consider my strength to be my work ethics and drive to compete . I play the game with passion, have a desire to win and strive to be a leader for my team and teammates.

I am different than other athletes because I truly take pride in being a straight A student while participating in many sports and school activities. I feel that one of my best traits is understanding that having respect for my family, friends, coaches and teammates must be a priority. While constantly setting new goals for myself.
