Personal Statement
As a young boy growing up in Toronto, I was constantly surrounded by the game of hockey. The early years of my life were spent watching my two older brothers develop their skills on the ice, impatiently waiting for my turn to lace up. I first stepped out onto the ice at the age of two and from that day on, have been hopelessly addicted to the game.
Hockey is my heart — it’s my blood. It has taught me countless lessons: to stay humble; to push my body and mind to the absolute limit; and, to be a better person and friend. I pride myself on the ability to control a game’s momentum with my energy and drive as well as my loyalty to my teammates and my ability to lead. While I do not know where this game will ultimately take me, of one fact I am quite certain: every time I step out onto the ice, you’re going to get ALL OF ME.
