3. Tell us about what sports you play?
I have been playing hockey for 8.5 years. Last year I played JV for Francis Howell and also played on a league team.
Here is a fun story … When I played for Chesterfield Falcons, we made it to the semi-final state championship. We were losing 2-0 with two minutes left. We were able to tie the game to 3-3 which sent the it into over-time. After being blind-sided, drawing a game misconduct on the other player and being helped off the ice, I talked my way back into the game. I drew a penalty shot on a break away. Although I didn’t score on the penalty shot, my team scored to win the game. That win allowed us to go to state. We won state 1-0. Fun times.
