Personal Statement
Growing up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I was bound to love hockey. Always going to penguins games is what really got me started into playing hockey, but I never really started playing goalie until I was 8. I played travel for my first year in competitive hockey in Charlotte when I 11 years old. Returning the year after, I was cut from the team and I am happy to say that was the best thing to ever happen to me. It set a spark off in my head to make a different team and continue to get better, not only as a goalie but as a person too.
