- 2014 Highlights
Personal Statement
I have a strong desire to be a true 4 year student/athlete during my college years. I have been on the ice playing hockey for as far back as I can remember and have no desire to step off now. Last season, after many years of being a top line center and leading goal scorer, I found myself behind two full lines of seniors. The coaches asked me to take on a role that was completely different to me. They wanted me to focus on defensive play, back checking, working physically in the corners, winning face offs and keeping the puck out of our zone and net. It was a big change for me and I wasn't very happy about it at first. Now, I realize that I'm a much more complete player because of last season, and this year I'm the 1st line center and power play leader. I'm a fast learner and am very coachable. I have been a team leader a number of times, but I also take direction well. I play because I love the game, I love the competition, and I respect my teammates and my opponents.
