I started playing hockey when I was 4 years old

My Mum signed me up for hockey when I was four, just for fun. When I played hockey for the first time I loved the game and fell in love with the game. Ever since my first hockey game it has been my favourite thing to do and the rink is my happy place.

When I was younger I started hockey as a forward and moved back and forth between forward and defence until minor bantam. About half way through the minor bantam season I switched to defence and have stayed there since. I like defence because I can start the play with the first breakout pass and can see the whole ice from my position. I also like defence because I can play the shutdown role but can use my offensive skill by rushing the puck and making plays and helping my team on offence and defence.

I would say my greatest strength would be my shot. Ever since a young age I have always worked on my shot, and have worked on it every year in different ways. I can still improve on it but I would say that is my greatest strength in my game.

I think that if you called my coaches they would tell me to work on my first three steps. I am working on and off the ice to get quicker in my first three steps and I think that I have been getting quicker every year and it is helping my game.

I play many different sports including cross-country, basketball, track and field in high school. In my younger years I won many first place awards for cross country, basketball, and track. In grade 8 I won the athlete of the year at my school. One of my greatest sport accomplishments outside of hockey would be placing 9th at OFSAA last year for cross country with the team finishing fourth. Also my basketball team won SWOSSA last year.

I think that electric cars are the greatest invention of my lifetime. They changed the way the car business was run and will change the way cars are made in the future. Also these cars help with pollution and global warming.

Wayne Gretzky, Micheal Jordan, Sidney Crosby. I think they all would have great advice for me and would have great stories to learn from.

If I could go back in time and change one thing it would be COVID-19. Without COVID we would be having a hockey season and life would be normal again and people could travel again. Everything would be back to normal and you could just live your regular life again.

I don’t really have any superstitions, or any pre game ritual except for I usually have pasta before every game.
