Q and A
Give me a short scouting report on yourself as a player. What are your strengths?
- I believe I'm a team first player, and do whatever it takes for the team to win. I workout daily and shoot pucks on a regular basis thus possess a heavy shot. I like to set up my teammates as well. I'm strong on my skates like a power skating forward.
Can you tell us one unusual thing about yourself that others may not know?
- I like to go off roading in my Jeep. My hobbies outside hockey are golf and lifting weights.
What's the best part of playing high school hockey and why?

Tell me about the outlook for your team this year. What are the strengths of your team?
- My outlook for our team is very high. We have a strong group coming back along with some young talent coming in. We lost three strong defenseman who I consider good friends as well as great athletes.
