I started skating around 3 years old and I started playing around 4.
𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚 𝒉𝒐𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒚?
My dad used to coach me and I loved it, so I kept playing.

I’ve always been a forward. I’ve rotated between center, right wing, and left wing. I enjoy playing forward because it allows me the opportunity to use my creativity in the neutral and offensive zone. I enjoy putting pressure on the opposition and of course I love being a part of scoring goals.
𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒕𝒉?
I personally think my greatest strength is my creativity and puck handling.

He would say that I need to improve on my puck movement, as well as defensive zone play.

I have received awards for school, which was an academic achievement award in my elementary graduation year. I have also received a most improved award for minor lacrosse.

I think the greatest invention in my lifetime is the touchscreen cell phone, as it has made interactions much easier and allows us to connect with each other when we aren’t together.

If I had to invite 3 people to dinner, I would invite Matthew Barzal, John Torterella, and Jordan Binnington. I would love to talk to Matt about how he develops his hockey IQ and how I can improve on mine. His creativity is something I really look up to and try to base my game around. I would love for John Torterella to critique my game and how I can improve because he wouldn’t sugar-coat anything for me. I would also love to hear his side of the story on the Calgary-Vancouver hallway fights. Lastly, I would love to hear about Jordan’s story about going from an ECHL backup goalie to a Stanley Cup winner.

I would change/remove residential schools in Canada.
