My personality was generated  as  seasoned and refined athlete and traveller with exposure to many countries and nationalities on and off the ice. I participated in many tournaments national and internationally from Toronto, Bolzano, Philadelphia , Boston, Los Angeles and  Beijing. have been invited and participated with the World Selects U12, several Silverstick Invitationals and World Selects U16, while also traveling to Japan as my high school emissary.  It has always been my dream and aspiration through athletic and academic achievement, to transition from  Youth Hockey to University Hockey while aimIng for a position in a professional league following the educational challenges.

A quick study on systems, controlled discipline and the talent to see the ice well has allowed me to contribute to the team with consistency, honed skills and continuous development.

Hard work and consistent attendance have always been a strength in my personal, academic and athletic endeavours without interruptions or distractions.
