Deep dives

Growing up with hockey as the center of my life

Hockey was my life from a young age, with tournaments and practices filling my days. Vacation time was spent on hockey-related trips, such as playing in tournaments or visiting relatives. My dad taught me the value of education and made sure I stayed in school until I turned 18. Family vacations were rare, but we did get to visit relatives in Carolina every few years. Overall, hockey was the focal point of my upbringing, and I embraced it wholeheartedly.
