“I have a dog named after a Russian hockey player, Ovie, because it’s my older brother Nick’s favorite hockey player.
“My favorite part of Northwood so far has been creating friendships with my teammates that I know will last forever. A specific moment of my Northwood career I will always cherish would be winning the semifinals of PHC playoffs against Saint Andrew’s in overtime last year.
“A piece of advice I would give to a Northwood student is to embrace the time you have here, no matter how long it is. Don’t take any of it for granted, and enjoy the little things about life at Northwood, like meals, classes, and practices. A big passion of mine is hockey, but I’m also passionate about school and keeping my grades up. I strive to make my parents proud in the classroom.
“My favorite class at Northwood is Advanced STEM Research with Mrs. Walker because I get to research something I’m passionate about, and I get to do it with one of my best friends, Will Schneid ‘25. Our topic is related to hockey performance, which relates to me and my sport.
“After Northwood, I plan to keep playing competitive hockey and continue to chase my dream of playing college hockey. I will miss my friends on the hockey team, the culture and vibe of the school, road trips and hotel stays, having meals with my teammates at the same table every day, and practicing and playing with my teammates every day, when I leave Northwood. I will also miss Coach Mallaro because he has given me so much and I appreciate everything he’s given to me and taught me.”
