Personal Statement

I love the game of hockey and am determined to play Juniors, at the college level, and further. I'm a smart player with good hockey sense, excellent hand-eye coordination, and solid defensive skills. I train with other skills coaches outside of my regular team as often as possible. I'm a strong defensive defenseman now, but I'm interested in improving my offensive game and taking my game to the next level.

I love science and have been thinking about being an engineer or maybe even studying to become a surgeon. I don't know yet. I think it'd be great to play a year or so of juniors, so I can figure it out.

I have been lucky to have had some great coaches and am excited about future opportunities. I want to thank anyone who takes the time to look at my profile here and considers me as a possible future player on their team.
