“I came to Northwood for excellence in hockey and to finish my high school career. I knew that hockey at Northwood was excellent, and I am close friends with Shane Tronoski, a two-year senior at Northwood, and he told me great things about Northwood. I came from a private school in New Jersey, where I was a state champion two years in a row, but the level of hockey couldn’t compare to Northwood.
“My favorite thing about Northwood is how close everyone is. From the day I stepped foot on campus, I knew I had met people I would stay close with forever. No matter where they’re from or what sport they play, everyone talks to each other and gets along nicely.
“Northwood has made me more consistent. Because the schedule is the same daily, I can build a routine to form my day. This has made me more consistent in everything I do. This has made me a better hockey player and a consistent student.
“After Northwood, I want to continue my hockey career as long as possible, but the next step is playing juniors. I’m not sure where I will be playing yet, but I know I will be playing juniors before moving on to college hockey.
“If I could change one thing about Northwood, it would be the check-in times. I’m not sure how I would change them if I had the ability to, but I feel like they could be adjusted in a way that would work for students and staff.”
