- 2023 Highlights
Personal Statement
I am a passionate hockey player with an excellent academic record. My strongest point is the ability to balance between the school studies and the athletic career. This is confirmed by my consistent overachievement in school grades above minimum expected grades and gradually moving up the ice hockey ladder to a captain’s role in my new club team in 2022 and then the selection for the UAE National U18 team in early 2023.
I have met many great hockey players over the last few years and had a chance to train and even play with a few of them, including some ex and current NHL/ AHL/ KHL stars and Olympians. To see their level of skill and dedication to the game served as an excellent booster of motivation to me. I have also been volounteering as a skating trainer for younger kids in "learn-to-skate" programs and officiated youth league games as Level II referee.
In 2023-2024 season, I will join an adult league EHL as part of the Galaxy Warriors team, as their youngest player.
My aspiration is to continue this upward pattern during the remaining two years in high school to maximize my chances of admission to a top university in US/Canada, where I want to pursue an engineering degree, while being able to continue my athletic development at the best possible level.
