Personal Statement

Hockey is my passion. From a very young age I knew I was faster then most other skaters and my speed is what sets me apart from other athletes. I am an extremely competitive person who strives to excel on the ice, in the classroom and in the gym. I revel in the intense preparation with teammates towards a common goal. Playing hockey at the AAA level has taught me the importance of teamwork, commitment, leadership and determination in the achievement of all your goals, whether it be at the rink or at school. I am looking for a school that will challenge me to focus my competitive nature on earning a business degree while playing hockey at the highest level possible. I believe the skills that I have sharpened throughout my involvement with hockey will allow me to excel at the next level as a student athlete and beyond as a future businessman.

Handles puck well at speed then a good move to beat the defender, hard shot for scoring chance. Smart puck decisions down low created scoring chances. Good speed and physicality on the backcheck.
