Pick one of the following attributes (Teamwork, Excellence, Serving, and Integrity): Why is this attribute important to you?

I'm choosing Teamwork.

Teamwork is a very important aspect of the game of hockey. You have to work with your team to be successful on the ice and score goals.

Teamwork is also important as a Christian, because others can help strengthen you on your path to the Lord. FCA is a very good example of

this because all of the guys are just there to help you grow and learn about Jesus. I think teamwork comes from being able to build healthy relationships and having trust, respect and patience. It's just like building a relationship with 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 done 3 years of FCA overnight skills camp, Junior Christian Cup, 2 years playing FCA AAA hockey, Discipleship calls, and Jr Team FCA. My

experience has been so good, it's almost impossible to say how much they have helped me grow in my faith on and off the ice. Even though I

go to a private school, I never really felt connected to God. When I first came to hear about FCA, I was like this sounds great, and it was! Now I have started discipleship calls and it is teaching me so much about the

Bible and my faith. I have learned so much from all the guys and coaches.

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

My favorite scripture verse is Isaiah 41:10.

It says: "Do not be afraid for I am with you. Don't be discouraged for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my righteous right hand." This verse is important to me because it's saying God will always be here to help you along your journey. He will give us everything we need to make it to him. This verse gives me comfort in my journey in faith, even when I may have to climb a steep hill of challenges. God will be right there with me, helping me along. Al Ihave to do is keep faith.

What else should we know about you?

Another thing you may want to know about me is that when I'm not

playing hockey, I play tennis and run track. I just started CrossFit to improve on and of the ice over the summer. I'm very thankful that you

guys chose me to be athlete of the month, it means a lot and I never would have expected it or even thought of it! So again thank you so

much for the opportunity!
