Hockey has been more than just a sport for me, it has shaped who I am and the path I want to take. From the first time I stepped on the ice, I knew this was where I belonged. Over the years, my dedication, work ethic, and passion for the game have only grown stronger. My goal is to compete at the NCAA Division I level, where I can continue to push myself both as an athlete and as a student.

Throughout my journey, I have embraced every challenge as an opportunity to improve. Playing at progressively higher levels, from club hockey to high school varsity and elite travel teams, I have learned the value of perseverance, discipline, and teamwork. As a 6’1” forward, I take pride in my ability to contribute offensively while also being a responsible two-way player. I work tirelessly on my speed, strength, and hockey IQ, always looking for ways to elevate my game.

Beyond the rink, I am committed to excelling in the classroom, understanding that success at the NCAA level requires a strong balance between academics and athletics. I value leadership and accountability, both on and off the ice, and I strive to be a player that teammates and coaches can rely on.

Playing Division I hockey is not just a dream, it is a goal that I am fully dedicated to achieving. I am eager to bring my skills, determination, and relentless work ethic to a program that values development, competition, and a winning culture. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to a team at the highest collegiate level and continue my growth as a player and person.
