I started skating when I was three years old but and really began to love the game when my hometown team, the Chicago Blackhawks, won the Stanley Cup in 2010. When I was seven, I started playing NIHL Elite at Hoffman Estates Wolfpack. After four years I moved to the West Dundee Leafs, where I played AA hockey and currently play on the 05 CSDHL Team. Hockey has shown me how competitive and self motivated I am; I like to be physically challenged on and off the ice. My academic goal for high school is to graduate at the top of my class, and then go on to attend a university and continue to play hockey at a high level.
