Ambitions in hockey? I want to win a BIG EAST and National Championship and record more points than I did last season.

Strengths on the field? My speed and energy.

Why did you choose SU? Syracuse was the perfect fit for me; teammates, campus, city and the opportunity to get a great education along with the chance to compete for a National Championship.
