Pick one of the 10 Traits of a Godly Man and explain why it is important to you.

I really like trait number 8, “A Godly Man seeks God’s approval, not Man’s” because it reminds me what I am not only playing for, but living for, and that is to glorify God. It reminds me that if I try to seek the approval of others I will tear myself down by comparing my skills and talents which forces me to play for good stats and wins, but when I focus on this Godly Man Trait, I live and play my best for an audience of one (God). 

Have you been involved with FCA or FCA Hockey in the past? What has been your experience with us? How has FCA Hockey impacted you?

I have been a part of FCA hockey for about 5 years now, and I was originally introduced with the FCA Elite Goalie Camp, which I have attended every year since then. I also was a part of one of FCA’s summer hockey teams.

My experience with FCA has been amazing all around, I was able to start being a part of FCA at my school too which was great. I have been impacted in so many ways because of FCA and have made so many relationships with so many great people because of it. 

What is your favorite scripture verse? Why is this important to you?

My favorite verse is Psalm 16:8, I will keep my eyes continuously on the Lord, with Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

This verse is important to me because it keeps me grounded in my faith throughout my daily life and especially in sports. It helps me stay focused and not to get frustrated or upset easily because I know that I live for Him. 

What else should we know about you?

My goals are to play junior hockey and then on into college, and I also plan to go to school to study medicine and hope to become an orthopedic surgeon.

I have five siblings, two older sisters, one younger sister, and a younger brother. I love music, especially singing, and I also joined soccer my senior year and was the varsity starter for my high school team which was a great experience.
