HOCKEY

 A GAME OF PASSION, OF COMMITMENT, OF LOVE

 Ever since I was 3 years old I have been skating. I started to play on a travel team by the age of 6. I may never have gotten involved with this great sport if it weren't for my parents. I owe them everything that I am today. They have worked very hard in their lives to give me a great one! They take time off of work to go to every practice, every tournament, every game that I have. It doesn't matter where it is, Canada or the United States, they are always in the crowd cheering me on. They are very committed to me so I knew, I needed to give everything I could, for them.

I AM MORE COMMITTED THEN EVER

 At the age of 10 I knew I wanted to receive a top education and play the sport I love. At age 14 I approached my parents and told them the way for me to achieve this would be for me to leave home (Chicago, IL), my family, my friends to attend a school with a strong educational and hockey program....I was on the hunt. After our due diligence in searching... I landed in Ohio at a college preparatory high school known for their strong curriculum and prep hockey program, Gilmour Academy. I completed my Freshman and Sophomore years of academics and Tier 1 AAA U18 hockey. Although VERY challenging….I persevered. Because of my committed hard work and dedication, I was approached, and have accepted, an offer to attend The Hill Academy in Vaughan, ON Canada for my junior and senior years of high school. The schooling is taught at the highest prep level and I will be trained by and play with some of the best in hockey today.
