Nick has always been a tremendous young man and a good multi-sport athlete. He excelled in hockey through youth hockey, and was a contributing member of our Varsity team as a sophomore and junior. Some injuries, and also a stronger emphasis in the off season on his other sport, Lacrosse, changed his role on our varsity team for his senior year. While he will potentially be a college lacrosse player, he still came out for the hockey team.

Nick was given a 4th line role this season, and although he wasn’t happy with the spot, he has come to the rink every day with a phenomenal attitude, asks coaches where he can improve, never complains, and is a great guy in the locker room.

Nick has handled a very difficult situation with the same grit, character, and team first mentality that he always carries himself with. While we typically give this award to a player who plays a large on-ice role, Nick may be the most deserving athlete I have nominated to receive this award in my 12 years of high school hockey coaching.
