Sweden is the source of tons of hockey talent. Growing up so fast, having such a large frame and eye for the game I just knew I would make it to the SMJHL. When your uncle is one of the best defenseman to ever play the game all you have throughout the minors, through out the juniors and even at the highest level, you'll always have that comparison on your back. The need to compete at the highest levels from the very begining. For an unmotivated or even average player, this might be enough to defer players from pursuing their goal of the SMJHL, for me it's only fuel. It's that drive to improve every aspect of my game to live up to those expectations, to get right after it and work hard day in and day out. Now that I'm starting my journey with St. Louis as a crow, it's only an upward motion and keeping on the path of being the best player and member of the team I can be. Leading from the front from a young age isn't something most teams get behind or even usually support but I'm looking to change that narrative and be the one to drive the play and get the boys motivated and keep clawing for that cup game in and game out.
