I have been playing hockey since I was 2 years old and being on the ice is where I am happiest. I push myself on and off the ice. I am coachable and always willing to make sacrifices for my team. As a flexible player, I am able to play different positions; from left wing, to center, and defense. However, offense suits me best as I am able to take the puck quickly down the ice. While having a good perspective of the ice, I can bring a fast, aggressive game to any team.
Along with playing hockey, my experiences with sports has also included soccer. I am a strong defensive player who can be relied on by my teammates and coach. I continue to strive to be an outstanding athlete and push myself to my limits every day. I aspire to give 100% every time I show up, and because of that I improve every day.
I would like to play at the highest level possible. My goal is to continue playing hockey while in pursuing a college degree in Criminal Justice. I prefer to attend a college in the Mid-West region, but am open to other options.
To date, I have played with several high-level teams including; AAA Jr. Admirals, AAA spring teams for 7 years, Bantam 3A State Champion 2017 , WEHL (Wisconsin Elite Hockey League) Champion 2016, Kohlman Cup Champion 2014, and will soon be going to play junior hockey after 3 years of playing highschool.
As a hard working student athlete, I push myself to work every day to achieve my goals and not have them handed to me by anybody. I will not give up until I have achieved my goals playing hockey at the collegiate level.
Thank you for your time, I greatly appreciate it.
