Ambitions in hockey? To belong to a team who truly share a common goal of winning a National Championship.

Strengths on the field? My athleticism, strength, awareness, anticipation and my contribution to our corner unit with my elite level push out.

Why did you choose SU? I initially looked to come to SU for the opportunity to play for Ange Bradley and when I visited I fell in love with the incredible atmosphere surrounding this university. Academically and athletically it stands out among the rest.
