MY STORY

page icon

1. WHERE I STARTED

“I started playing hockey when I was 5, skating on the pond behind my house. From the beginning, I fell in love with the speed and the compete.”

2. CHALLENGES I’VE FACED

“Last season, I missed 10 games with a knee injury. It was tough sitting out, but I learned a lot about the mental side of the game. I came back stronger — physically and mentally.”

3. WHAT DRIVES ME

“I’ve always believed in doing the little things right. I stay late after practice to work on puck retrievals and film. I want to be the player who makes everyone around me better.”

4. WHERE I’M HEADED

“My goal is to play in the NCAA, but I’m focused on being the best player and teammate I can be right now. Wherever I play next, I want to bring energy, leadership, and a team-first mindset.”
