“I came to Northwood last year to get the best experience from a hockey and academic aspects. I have lived in Philadelphia and played for the Valley Forge Minutemen my whole life, but I wanted to go somewhere where I could take my game to the next level and get noticed by coaches at the next level.

“I don’t have a favorite part about Northwood because I enjoy all of it. I’ll never forget the relationships and friendships I have made. The camaraderie from the moment I stepped on campus has been fantastic. I love living in Lake Placid and enjoying something most people only dream of. I’m so lucky to have the opportunity to come to Northwood, and I have never taken a second of it for granted.

“Northwood hasn’t necessarily changed me but has made me grow. I was always a hard worker, even before I came to Northwood, but Northwood has given me the platform and tools to showcase the hard work that I put in.

“After Northwood, I will continue hockey with the Johnstown Tomahawks in the North American Hockey League to play division one college hockey.

“If I could change one thing about Northwood, it would be the times that open gym is open. I stay in the gym from 6-7:30 every night for the whole hour and thirty minutes, but it is pretty crowded. I wish that there were more opportunities to use the shooting room and weights throughout the day.”
