Started skating when I was 2 but started playing when I was 3.

Watching it as a kid and seeing my favourite people on the TV and being able to have a chance to play the game I love as a job

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 haven’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.

One thing I need to work on is my puck support in the D end, being able to support the defence man behind our net to have a clean breakout.

Greatest invention for me would be SpaceX’s reusable rocket. Elon Musk believes in the next 30 years humans can live on Mars and this rocket may be the one to bring us, and that is really fascinating to me.

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, I’d love to hear about his goals with his spaceX company and hear what he has to say about space.

I would go back to December 31st, 2019 and stop the man in China before he ate the bat which started the coronavirus so we would have a normal hockey season and life would be Normal.
