Biography

Why Niagara?
"I went for a tour of the school and the facilities, and it was amazing. I loved everything about the school and the hockey program. The school wasn’t too big and the facilities were in top shape. I was offered a spot and it didn’t take long to come up with my decision. The school is very close to the border too, so my family will be able to come to games and support me in ways they couldn’t if I went to school elsewhere."
