What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreHe lives for competition but also for the community that is created with his teammates. He’s strives to be coach able, leading by examples not words.
He is inspired by many different professional athletes but also is mostly driven by himself to be better each time on the field, court or ice. He is also inspired by his sister who was recently Diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes and is still competing in athletics not letting that stop her.
The most proudest is his U15 AA hockey season. His team not only won the league (multiple double Overtime’s to clinch the title) going in as the underdogs. To qualifying for provincials and winning bronze in overtime again. Thrilling season with the best teammates and coaches. It’s was probably my most positive experience in sports.
