Back in the day, soccer was one of my favorite hobbies; I played competitive soccer until the age of 14. However, I had other interests in my life, and one of them was hockey. I’ve always been undecided between soccer and hockey. I loved both equally and never thought about having the responsibility to dedicate all my attention to only one. Unfortunately, this day came, and I had to choose between the two things I’ve played my whole life. It was a hard decision, but my love for hockey took over.
When I entered Northwood as a senior this year, I knew only Alexis Trudeau ‘24 and Renaud Lalancette ‘24 because we are all from Montreal. It didn’t take me long to feel at home and meet people who soon became like brothers to me. This is something I will be missing next year. I really enjoy spending time with the boys, especially in the locker room before a game. That’s when I feel at home and happy the most.
My favorite meal before a game is some good chicken and rice. I keep it simple because why change a winning recipe? One thing nobody knows about me is I hate chocolate. I’ve always hated it, and I don’t think I’ll ever change my opinion about it.
Leaving Northwood will be hard. I knew I would like it, but I never expected it to become my second home so quickly. Next year, I am looking forward to playing junior hockey. One of my biggest aspirations in life is to keep playing hockey as long as possible. I know it might be challenging, but I can’t wait to see what life has in store for me. When this chapter of my life is over, I will probably be skiing with my friends and my family at Mont St-Sauveur, located in the North of Montreal. Skiing is one of my favorite hobbies since I’ve always been a big fan of the outdoors.
