Favorite thing about the game (on or off ice)?
I love to build relationships on and off the ice. I am a kind person who prioritizes the needs of others. “Locker Talk” is very important to me and is one of my favorite things to participate in. The conversations and interactions that occur in the locker room among team members is
important on a personal level and it helps build team chemistry. Building trust is impossible without relationships, which is why I think relationships are crucial to team dynamics. I’ve always been drawn to hockey’s strategic aspects. It’s engaging and intellectually stimulating. Hockey is an interesting and difficult game because it is always changing.
