What is your personal goal in your hockey career?
- My main goal is to use my skills to play at the college level and to use the lessons I have learned from hockey to make myself a better person off the ice in my future career, family, and community that I'm part of.

How would you describe your playing style and/or what role do you see yourself fitting on a team?
- My playing style is a hybrid that relies on a mix on modern blocker/reactor styles. My initial focus is to maintain squareness and angle based upon play in the zone to cover as much net as possible. Then, I must read the release to make a proper save selection. As for my role, I focus on controlling my emotions and mindset. These are both fully in my control and a consistent calm and focused mindset can help inspire and motivate better play in the team and myself.

If professional hockey player is not an option, what would you want to be when you grow up and why?
- If professional hockey is not an option, I would be study to be an engineer. Throughout my education, I've taken many engineering classes where we have designed, manufactured, and tested many different objects to make them more efficient and durable.
