What are your most memorable athletic achievements?
My most memorable athletic achievement has been training hard to make the Huron Perth Lakers each season. In my first year trying out in Minor Bantam, I came from a local "C" center, which was a big jump to the AAA level. I have continued to make the roster every year since originally becoming a Laker in 2018.

Outside of hockey, what are you most passionate about?
Outside of hockey, I am most passionate about my determination to making sure that everything I do in my life is to my highest potential.

 

How would you describe yourself as a player?
I would describe myself as a fast, hard-working, and physical player. I am willing to take on any challenge to improve my skills and help my team win games.

What are your academic aspirations and accomplishments?
My academic aspiration is to pursue a post-secondary education while playing hockey at the highest level that I can.


What is something about you that most people would not know?
One thing that people might not know about me is that I had no interest in hockey until I was about 9 years old.  I did not learn to skate until then, at which point I fell in love with the sport.
