2023 Highlights #2
2023 HighlightsPersonal Statement
My dream has always been to play college hockey. I learned to skate when I was 5 years old & haven't stopped since. My career goal is to study business as I hope to one day become a real estate agent.
Being on a team means everything to me. My first coach at the age of 6 used to joke & say, "Danny Downey would give away a kidney for his Team!". I spent my childhood traveling around every weekend from tournament to tournament with my Dad. He passed away suddenly last year in 2022 & I continue to play & hope I am making him proud. He was my best coach of all.
My biggest hockey accomplishment was last season (2022-2023) when my Varsity Hockey Team Clarkstown won Sectionals for the first time ever. We won in double OT against our biggest rival.
Senior year - All County Honorable Mention, All Section Honorable Mention & All League.
My hockey training has given the ability to play all positions which includes defense, wing & center.
I am a 2-sport athlete. Hockey is my main focus & I play lacrosse in the spring to stay conditioned. I am an honor roll student at Clarkstown South.
