- 2021 Spotlight
Personal Statement
My name is Bradley Boniface. I am an '05 and I will turn 19 years old on January 24th, 2024. I am a defenseman who is currently 5'11" and 175 lbs. I graduated high school in June 2023. I currently play for the Idaho Falls SpudKings NCDC in Tier II Juniors. My goal is to play in the USHL while working to play at the highest level.
My first season of hockey was the 2017-18 season playing for the Stuttgart Rebels A Team in Germany. I played Charlotte Rush A in the 2018-19 season, and played on the Charlotte Rush AA Team in the 2019-2020 season. We won our State Championships, and were headed to the National Championships until they were cancelled from the COVID-19. I played my 2020-2021 season for the Nashville Jr. Predators 15U AAA. I played my 2021-22 season for the Nashville Junior Predators 16U AAA team, coached by JP Dumont. Last season I played for Compuware 18U AAA in Detroit, Michigan coached by Chris Coury.
I was an Army Brat my whole life, until my dad retired from the U.S. Army after 22 years of service, and we settled into the Charlotte region to live. I fell in love with hockey years ago, while watching a Predators NHL game while stationed at Ft Campbell, KY. My grandfather was an Olympic Athelete along with his two brothers, all as bobsled drivers from Lake Placid, NY. I have been inspired by a family of athletes and am motivated by their success to push my hardest to reach my own goals.
