"He didn't see me play a lot growing up. He was out working hard to give me the opportunity to play the game, get the equipment that I needed, the registration fees, and the things that I needed to have to be able to play. I am so thankful for him for so much that he has brought to my life. It was always really special when he was able to come when I was a kid just because it wasn't that frequent. My mom took me to most of my hockey growing up. It always meant a lot. It still has that same feeling for me today on a trip like this."
That is what you work for and try to accomplish when you break into the league: play at a high level consistently for a long time and continually evolve your game while sticking to your identity of who you are as a player. It is definitely something I am very proud of.
