I first got on the ice back in Farmington, Michigan where I’m from. I guess you could call it hockey, but it was more of a clinic and we’d just skate around with our sticks trying to make it work. I think I was four years old.
It was my dad who got me in to hockey. He grew up in Canada and has always been a big hockey fan. We have pictures and videos of me as a young kid and it seems like I always had a stick and ball with me. My dad works for Ford and has logged a lot of hours just so I could play this game. My mom would take me to the games and practices during the week and on the weekends; my dad would take Friday off to take me to tournaments.
