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

Challenging self; his teammates; learning from coaches/peers/family; confidence; resilience; patience; commitment; discipline; passionate; mindfulness; making a difference; the fans; the family time; Luca says it’s like a “medicine” for him

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

Luca has said his dad inspired him to play hockey and now he himself loves it so he is self-motivated and inspired. He doesn’t have an NHL hero that he emulates. He just wants to be the best version of himself that he can be.

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

Moving from BB level to AAA thanks to the mental and physical effort he put into training over a summer in order to make the new team/level
