Who has played the biggest role in getting you to centralization? “My college coach at Providence College, Bob Deraney.”
When did you decide you wanted to play for Team Canada? “I don’t really remember a specific moment. Growing up I wanted to play in the NHL, but I would say Grade 12 is when I started to believe that I could one day play for Team Canada.”
What is the most important thing hockey has given you? “The most important thing hockey has given me is overall life skills. Every lesson in life I believe can be related back to hockey, whether on or off the ice, in a game or in a practice, or preparation like in the gym or mental skills training.”
