What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

Hockey is more than a game for Timothy—it’s where healing began. After losing his dad at age 10, he found comfort on the ice. It became his safe space, helping him cope, grow, and rediscover joy. What started in grief became a deep love. Today, Timothy gives back by helping younger kids learn the game that helped him heal. His quiet strength and compassion inspire all who know his story.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Timothy is most inspired by his late father, who not only loved his family but also served the community with heart and humility. Though his dad is no longer here, Timothy carries his legacy both on and off the ice. He plays with passion and leads with quiet strength—just like his dad. His father’s example of kindness, service, and resilience continues to guide him every day. That inspiration isn’t just a memory—it’s his motivation to do good and give back.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

The proudest moment in Timothy’s athletic journey isn’t just about the awards—though being named MVP few years in a row and now playing internationally is truly amazing. What moves us most is the heart behind it all. After losing his dad, hockey became his way to heal. But instead of just rising for himself, Timothy chose to lift others—stepping up to mentor younger players with quiet strength and compassion. Every stride he takes carries purpose, pride, and the legacy of his father’s love.
