“I found out about Northwood from an alum who had an excellent experience a couple of years ago, and it made me want to check the school out. I toured the school last fall and loved the campus and the area where the school is located. I loved that our home rink would be the Olympic Center, and it seemed nice to get a change of pace from living in Minnesota. The coaches were great to me when I visited, which made it ideal.
“My year has been great so far. It’s a big change after living at home my whole life, and now I am a boarding student. But the school and the hockey have both been going well, and there is no other place I’d rather be.
“My favorite memory at Northwood thus far is our first weekend in Rochester. Going on the first road trip with the team was monumental, and winning Bishop Kearney’s tournament against them in the finals.
“After Northwood, I plan to continue playing hockey, hopefully at the Division III college hockey. I don’t know where, but I want to continue playing at a high level.
“If I could change anything about Northwood, I wish dinner would be a little later. I never usually eat dinner at 5:30, and eating so early was a change of pace. This is a tough question to answer though, because I love everything about Northwood.”
