Pick one of the following attributes (Teamwork, Excellence, Serving, and Integrity): Why is this attribute important to you?

Integrity - I was raised to have strong moral principles both on and off the ice. Although these can be a challenge to uphold, spending time with FCA has surrounded me with likeminded individuals who share my Christian beliefs. 

Have you been involved with FCA or FCA Hockey in the past?  What has been your experience with us?  How has FCA Hockey impacted you?

I have been involved in a variety of programs through FCA hockey. These include elite goalie camps, Team FCA, and Chowder Cup. All of these experiences have been positive and uplifting. FCA has taught me that being a strong Christian doesn’t mean being a soft athlete. 

What is your favorite scripture verse?  Why is this important to you? 

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Joshua 1:9 

When being a warrior in Christ, there is no room for fear. This verse is a reminder that we can put our full trust in Christ, despite the turmoil occurring around us. 

How did you hear about FCA Hockey?

I found out about FCA hockey for the first time through a hockey coach at Minnesota Made, Kurt Morton. 

What else should we know about you (future goals in hockey, family members, what church do you go to, favorite stuff outside of hockey, etc.

Growing up in Minnesota, I have spent many hours playing hockey both inside and out on the pond. My brothers and I all grew up playing hockey, and we needed a goalie to round out the line-up. I was the third of four boys so I took the assignment. I attend the Waters Church in Sartell, MN. Outside of hockey my favorite activities are fishing and hunting.

Position: Forward

Birth Year: 2002

Height: 6'4"

Chosen Attribute: Teamwork


Pick one of the following attributes (Teamwork, Excellence, Serving, and Integrity): Why is this attribute important to you?

Teamwork, because you can have the most talented and most hardworking people all in the same group. However, if the team does not work together, serving one another and pushing one another to be the best they can be, and so that they may achieve one goal collectively as a team. Their efforts are futile.

Have you been involved with FCA or FCA Hockey in the past? What has been your experience with us? How has FCA Hockey impacted you?

 I have been involved with FCA hockey for 2 years. Ever since the first time I attended an FCA camp, i was never the same. Through FCA I have gotten to learn what it is like to have a real relationship with Jesus, and I have gotten to meet many Godly men. I would not be the man I am today if it were not for FCA hockey.

What is your favorite scripture verse? Why is this important to you?

 Psalm 73:26 “my strength may fail and my spirit may grow weak but God remains the strength of my heart, he is mine forever” this verse reminds me of how God is my strength that gets me through my life and the trials and tribulations that await me. He is with me forever and nothing can separate me from him.

What else should we know about you?

 My favorite NHL team is the Toronto Maple Leafs (sorry Bobby) and God has blessed me beyond belief.

Birth Date: May 9, 2009

Height & Weight: 140 & 5’7”

Teamwork is important to me because it is so fun being a part of a team. It’s awesome knowing that I am a part of what happens on the ice, but I also feel so excited for my teammates when they score a goal or do something great on the ice! It is a terrific feeling when we can celebrate and encourage each other.  

I have attended week-long FCA Hockey Skills Camps over the past two summers. I also got to be a part of an on-going FCA skills program this past summer. When I am at an FCA camp, I love seeing how God impacts everyone’s lives. The leaders share testimonies that speak to my heart. They have taught me about being humble and treating others how I would want to be treated myself. Plus, the ice time and dry land time help me develop as an athlete. I really like the rapid shot station. It’s so fun meeting new friends from all over. FCA Hockey Camps are great!

My favorite scripture verse is Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” Through that verse, I know that Jesus is my true strength, and He will help me through anything and everything in life. It gives me courage to work hard at hockey.

I am game for almost anything, from farming with my uncle and cousin, to snowboarding with friends, or taking trips with my family. I love to have a good time. I tell a lot of jokes and like to make people laugh!

BEDFORD, MA -- The East Coast Wizards enjoy their location amidst prime college country. 

Just over 8 miles away is Brandeis University, just 10 miles distant is Tufts, and when you extend the mile marker a little farther to within one hour’s drive, dozens of NCAA schools come into near reach. 

Within this hive of college hockey activity, the Wizards work throughout each season to send players both near and far to continue their education and hockey career.
