What I like about playing center is you are always involved in the play every inch of the ice. You have to be a good skater which I feel I am to play all 200 feet as a good centerman. No, I havenโ€™t always played center. From Novice to peewee I was a left winger but enjoyed the center position more.

I believe my greatest strength would be my skating ability or my hockey IQ. Knowing where to be at the right time to make my team better and getting there with lots of speed.

If I could invite 3 people to a dinner it would have to be Wayne Gretzky, Elon Musk, and Lebron James. To be able to talk about what it takes to be the best at a sport like Gretzky and Lebron were would be something id love to hear from them. And with Elon Musk, Iโ€™d love to hear about his goals with his spaceX company and hear what he has to say about space.
