Looking back at my first game as a goalie, I was eight years old and I still remember the feeling of winning that game. That feeling of excitement made me eager to win another one. Going on to win many tournaments with my team. Along with winning comes losing, not just with hockey but also in life. I’ve become a stronger person mentally and physically because of hockey. I always try to challenge myself to become a better player. Working with the boys rep hockey organization has helped me understand teamwork, and leadership. To me, hockey is just as important as my grades. I’m looking for a program that would be a good fit for me, one that would offer academics and would be highly competitive in sports. I know what it takes and I’m ready for anything!
