Hockey

What current NHL player plays the most like you do?

I try to model my game after Kris Letang on the Pittsburgh Penguins. I like how he plays tough in his own end and adds some offesne from the backend.

Who were your heroes growing up?

My parents, They were always around when I needed them and always took me to hockey practice. They still see most of my games today and are great role models.

What advice do you have for an aspiring hockey player?

I would tell them to always move their feet. Nothing good can happen when a player is standing still on the ice.

What was your favorite subject in school?

I would have to say History, it is a subject I have always done well in and its interesting to me.

What is your career highlight so far?

Winning the world U-17 challenege last year in Timmons, Ontario, it was the first time the United States won the tournament since 2002 so it was a big deal.

What is on your ipod?

I have almost every type of music from Katy Perry to Drake.
