Playing for Union Thunder EHLp Juniors (my old HS Coach Sam) at EHLp tournament this weekend down at Ice Works Arena in Aston, PA.
See events part of the profile for some game details.
When it comes to a good school; I am open-minded and looking forward to playing at the next level someday soon.
I love the game. I started skating at 4 years old. I grew up at a big lake in Northern NJ where hockey was always fun and a valued part of our traditions and local culture. I started playing indoors as well when I was 7 years old and never looked back from there.
When I play hockey; I play hard and clean and I am committed to my coaches, my teammates and solid team play.
In school, life and hockey; I am always striving to earn my way and be a better person. I always put in as much effort and hard work as I possibly can and I do that for myself and my parents.
Today in 2023, I continue to grow and learn and work hard at becoming a more skilled and knowledgeable player and when I hit the ice I am always driven to compete.
I am very proud to have been voted as Team Captain by my OP teammates for my final season this 2022-2023 season. It is a big honor I respect and intend on living up to all the way.
Looking forward, I am hoping to get 2 important things out of this process; A) finding someone who has as much faith in me as I do and B) someone who is willing and able to give me the opportunity to chase a dream further and prove myself and my value to their school and ice hockey program.
For my North Jersey Kings 18U AA travel team, I wear a white helmet and the jersey number is # 63... our jerseys are white or navy depending on home and away games.
My Oratory Prep HS Varsity squad is pretty much the same; we wear white and navy jerseys. The visual difference for video watching? For my Oratory Prep HS team, we wear navy helmets and my jersey number is # 12.
I currently have several video clip packages uploaded-available as part of my NCSA profile. Note: I hope to have 1-2 new video clips packages edited and uploaded as soon as possible, once there is enough actual highlight footage from the 2022-2023 travel & HS combo seasons.
With my video clips, my goal has been simple... keep things short and quick while still providing as many clips which highlight how I consistently perform and move around as a playmaker and offensive player for both my NJK travel team and my OP HS squad.
Thank you so much for taking the time.
Final note: my hockey seasons are now officially over and my parents and I are currently in the process of managing all the financial aspects of my college submissions. All applications have been completed and submitted and all my acceptances are in. There are a few really solid, special places in my final mix.
I have some incredible school choices to narrow down now and determine which is the best fit for me. And I am very grateful for all the tremendous people I have met with and dealt with along the way. It has been an amazing past 18 months.
I will be making my final school decision once we are past the big final hurdle; sorting out all the merit, grants and financial aid stuff which is now finally in (this is the last necessary, critical step on my end of things.)
Thanks so much!
