The challenge. Ethan demonstrates unparalleled dedication. Despite the challenges of severe hemophilia, he allows his exceptional athletic abilities to shine in a wide array of sports, from ice hockey to soccer, baseball, swim team, and everything in between. His profound love for sports drives him to adapt his treatment, enabling him to pursue his passions and push himself even more!
His Dad, Peter. Ethan's dad was an exceptional hockey player in his youth, and Ethan loves meeting people who remember his father's talent on the ice. Many jokingly tell him, "I bet you're better than your Dad," a challenge Ethan eagerly embraces. He's learned invaluable lessons from his father, both as a parent and a coach, that extend far beyond the rink.
Being named captain of his U11 Rep 1 ice hockey team for the 2024-2025 season. More than his impressive skills, Ethan's leadership and unwavering commitment to his teammates shine brightest. He's a selfless captain whom others admire and respect, proving that a true team player is the epitome of an amazing teammate and athlete.
