And I know there's some to follow as well. Yeah, absolutely I mean my senior season was great We had a we had a lot of sophomores as you know a second-year program Okay, we had a we had pretty high expectations. Oh, yeah, so it was it was a great year. We came out. We got like 12 wins Personally on the ice. I had really good numbers. I ended up getting MVP in two leagues. We were in great Thank you very much. I mean, I'm like it's an individual position, but it's a team sport Absolutely. I'm really glad that like my teammates showed up every night. It's a long season You know what I mean, especially it's not really it's a physical game like football is but you play back-to-back nights 25 30 nights a year, okay, and it's a lot and I really appreciate the guys out there They gave a lot for me and I really was happy this year and what are you up to now? So after season ended I ended up getting a chance to play a little more hockey down in the Southern Pro League in Florida Okay, congratulations on that as well. Thanks. That was a lot of fun you know just a little taste and Really have to set thank like the psych department and mr. Adams for coordinating that and allowing me to go down there It was it was a great experience to be honest like I I think I want to play one or two more years, but it kind of kind of being in college. You're like, oh, I'd love to keep playing sports I'd love to keep playing sports and then you kind of get there and it's like whoa if this is gonna pay the bills Like I got a really play sports, right? Absolutely. So it was kind of it was a good experience and I'm really happy I got my education first. I got to play with a lot of athletes who had just kind of gone right into the Right into the whole I don't know. It's kind of a revolving door people coming in and out and they got thrown into there Pretty young and being a guy with a degree kind of taking a An outside view is really really a nice thing and I think I'm lucky to have that degree That's great. And how was your team atmosphere team chemistry this year? I mean our team chemistry. I think it's really unique Especially at Stevenson like we're in a we play high-level competition in New York almost every other weekend. Okay So, you know six eight-hour bus trips Yeah, homework homework's the thing. There's no there's no homework waivers or anything So just kind of keeping up with the guys in the bus, you know, you have you have the guys we We spent a lot of time in the locker room playing hockey. It takes a long time to get dressed and everything So, I think the dynamic was fun. We have a we have a great group of guys and I'm really Excited to be an alumni of this program and see what they're gonna do I really think big things kind of following like some stuff that La Crosse has done here and hung some banners So yeah, it's really big for our team. Well Stevenson's lucky to have you as an alumni. That's great Is there a game this season that sticks out to you a game that sticks out this season was definitely the Mac championship? When we beat Manhattanville for that, I think it was just fantastic. The rink was packed. The whole school was out there You know the guys played big and it was just everything kind of fell into line And it was a special special night great and just to wrap it all up Is there somebody you want to give a shout out to somebody that's impacted your Stevenson career? I mean absolutely my mother's my biggest supporter and everything but just a really big thanks to coach Dawes Coach Brinitone our volunteer coach Jay Sharpao who was a longtime friend of mine goalie coach And they just all three of them like gave me every resource really they could and all their knowledge Not just kind of like hey, maybe do this and they really sat with me and said this is how I played it out This is what I did. These are some mistakes. I made this is what you need to avoid kind of stuff So just having guys that you know being from Maryland It's not the biggest hockey culture and having the guys here to really to really show me what to do and show me Where to go it was it was invaluable and I wouldn't have got that experience without Stevenson. That's great Well, thank you for being here, and I hope you enjoy the rest of your night. Thank you so much
