Maple Grove #4 De...Personal Statement
I want to play college hockey because it has always been a goal of mine, and because I don't want to accumulate a great deal of debt to pay for college. I'm a team player, a leader, and am easy to coach. I am a good person, big and strong, and have always worked hard to keep good grades.
