What are some of your main goals within the game over the next 5 years?
For the 2024-25 hockey season I am looking forward to having a very successful year with the JPHL U18 HC Edmonton. I have chosen HC Edmonton for my last year of U18 to ensure maximum athletic and academic growth in my pursuit of playing high level junior hockey and college hockey thereafter.
In the 2023-24 season, I played in the Alberta Elite Hockey (AEHL) with the Maple Leaf Athletic Club (MLAC) U17AAA team, fulfilling my role as a co-captain and maintaining my position on PP1. I finished the season with 9 goals, 27 assists (36 points) in 29 games. As well, I was second in the AEHL for points by defencemen and 20th in the league overall in scoring. I also affiliated in 15 games with the AEHL U18AAA Edmonton Junior Oilers Orange.
For the 2025-26 season, my goal is to secure a roster position with a Junior A franchise. In my second Junior A season, one of my main goals would be to be a member of the leadership group.
For the 2027-28 season, my goal is to secure a roster spot with a US College hockey program.
Why are these your goals? Why are they important to you? What would it mean to achieve them?
My goal is to play US College hockey. To achieve this goal, a student-athlete needs to excel in academics and their sport. I’ve been a dedicated student and athlete throughout my amateur hockey and academic career. During my lifelong academic and athletic pursuits, I have always strived and successfully achieved my goals towards excellence. These goals are important to me because I enjoy the school environment and expanding my academic potential and I look forward to continuing that in the post-secondary environment. As for my athletic career, I love everything about the game of hockey; the speed, intensity, and the dedication required to achieve success.
Achieving these goals is very important to me and would mean that I made some dreams come true.
What separates you as a player and person? What are some areas requiring work? How do you continue to get better?
I possesses I high degree of maturity and self-awareness. I have an excellent work ethic and a single-minded focus toward meeting the goals and objectives required to be a successful highlevel student-athlete.
As I grow and mature, I will continue to seek out more opportunities for leadership and guidance of teammates and classmates. I have a great deal to offer from a leadership perspective and look forward to these opportunities.
I continue to improve my athletic performance in the game of hockey through a highly rigorous training regime. For the past number of years, I have attended hockey academies as well as sport-specific strength training programs in the off-season to ensure that my strength and skill sets continue to develop at the elite level.
What do you bring to any team you play for? What could a coach expect from you if they selected you for their roster?
Elite level skill at the defensive position, high-level character, and leadership, as well as being a highly coachable athlete and hard-working individual.
My level of commitment and maturity are extremely high. As a result, I am the kind of young man, athlete, and student that can always be relied upon to execute the right things at the right time.
What impact are you looking to have in your sports career? (Community, team, success, etc)
My focus is to continually grow and advance my athletic and academic skill sets in the next five years – thereby achieving the goal of obtaining a roster position with a US College hockey program.
This opportunity will allow me to maximize my talents and skills as a college athlete, obtain a college degree and become a fully involved member of my college community. I want to be the type of young man that can act as a true ambassador for the institution and the athletic program I represent.
What do you believe separates the best players in the world? What attributes/intangibles define them?
The best players in the world are always engaged in the single-minded focus of growing and developing their God-given talent. The best players in the world are always the first athletes to arrive and the last to leave; whether that’s to the weight room, practices, games, or the classroom.
The best athletes in the world are highly coachable, students of the game, passionate, and always looking to develop and improve. Their approach to the game is infectious to those around them.
The best players make everyone around them better players and better people.
Favorite thing about the game (on or off ice)?
I love the speed, intensity, and physicality of the game of hockey. Hockey is a team game and I love being part of the group whether its on the bus, in the dressing room, or on the ice.
