Playing at this level of hockey means a big commitment from you and your parents. Finish the following sentences:
Thank you Mom for sacrificing your time and energy for me.
Thank you Dad for pushing me to be my very best.
Lucas wanted me to ask you what the differences were from playing as a Hurricane from the time you played in Guelph as a Gryphon?
I learned a lot playing for both coaches. I feel fortunate to have had Matt May and Beazer to gain knowledge and learn from.
The biggest difference is the locker room. I have been able to reconnect with friendships I had previously.
Who should I spotlight next? Liam Galton
