As a strong-skating, scoring power ,forward--who plays on the left wing--a player that I aim to emulate is Patrikov Bure of the Simulation Hockey League's Hartford Wolf Pack. I look at Patrikov Bure's player build and career trajectory as a working model for my own career. When you look at Patrikov Bure and then look at Jack Kennedy, it becomes crystal clear why Patrikov Bure has been such a role model for how I conduct myself on and off the ice. To begin with, both Patrikov Bure and I share similar physical traits along with playing the same position. Moreover, as a player and a teammate, Patrikov Bure has achieved great success-- of which I hope to follow in the footsteps. Most significantly, Patrikov Bure is a three-time challenge cup champion. This is obviously the ultimate prize. Patrikov Bure was made an alternate captain because of his great leadership abilities. While I'm quiet in the room right now, in a couple of years I will be in a position to lead vocally in the room and demonstrably on the ice. Individually, concerning player attributes, Patrikov Bure is an incredibly well-rounded player. This, too, is my ultimate goal. When you look at Patrikov Bure's skating (86), puck handling (90), passing (84), scoring (90), and defense (83) it is obvious that he has put in his time training to gain such TPE. While my TPE is minuscule in comparison, my scoring (80), skating (74) are what make us comparable players with me being at such a young stage in my career. Seeing Patrikov Bure's success in the Simulation Hockey League, and looking where he started (same league and similar skill set as I, Jack Kennedy), I cannot help but envision the same good fortune for myself--all I got to is put in the work.
