I am the happiest when I am on the ice. I love everything about hockey. I love the early morning practices, the challenging games, wins and losses, my teammates and coaches. I have met lifetime friends playing a sport I love. I believe hard work and a positive attitude is important. I believe you support all your teammates including taping the pads of the goalie on a great save or tough goal, high fives to teammates when they come on the bench, thank you to every coach and ref. I have been playing this sport since I was three years old. I have had some amazing coaches along the way. I believe you need to trust the system and coach. My current coach Jamie Smith is one of the greatest advocates a player can have. She is there for me in sports, school and life. She helps me working out to build muscle. I love to work hard both on and off the ice. Brewster is the most amazing place for hockey and academics for me. I have grown as a student and player. I look forward to the next two years of high school and I hope your school is willing to give me a chance. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my statement.
