I grew up practicing fishing, soccer, golfing, and boating. I’ve always loved keeping myself busy, but one thing was occupying my time more than all these activities: hockey. I had my first pair of skates on at four years old, and I knew right away this sport was made for me. Almost fifteen years later, I still enjoy it as much as day one. Before an important game, peanut butter jelly always hits and makes me play well.
When I first came to Northwood, I had a single in Main. It was nice, but I gave up my single to live in Berg; I always wanted to live the experience of having a roommate. I hadn’t known Mathis Baril for a week, and I knew I wanted to be his friend. I thought he seemed like a good person, and I was right. This shows how much being with people I love matters to me. I would be lying if I said we never fight, but we still always figure out a solution. I feel happy when I’m in my room with my roommate and friends. I get to be myself and just have fun.
Northwood has taught me a lot of positive stuff, one of which is pushing myself to my full capacity. Waking up early every morning is a challenge, but I know I’m getting a little better at it every day. Next year, I will certainly miss the bond I have with my Northwood friends, Mathis Baril ‘24, Renaud Lalancette ‘24, Gavin Carr ‘25, Michael Peluso ‘25, Alexis Trudeau ‘24 and the rest of my hockey team.
One of my biggest aspirations in life is to become a billionaire. I am a person who loves challenges. In 5 years, I see myself attending a good college where I can play hockey and get a degree. After college, I would like to live in Boston. I think Boston is a great city. I’ve lived there before and really see myself there in the future.
Outside of hockey, I love fishing and soccer. I also enjoy hanging out with my family on the lake. In the summer, we go boating on Lake Champlain. If I didn’t play hockey, I would probably play golf. One thing most people don’t know about me is this past summer, I got a hole-in-one; a lot of people might think I’m lying, but whoever wants proof, I can show them a video.
