Cillian Kavanagh did not have it easy growing up just outside of Belfast, Ireland. Ice hockey was simply not a sport that was played all that often. All throughout grade school Cillian played rugby and hurling as those were the sports Cillian's friends played. It was not until Cillian was in high school did he ever think of becoming a hockey player. As hockey was beginning to become bigger throughout Europe, Cillian dreamed of what it would be like to play on ice with these talented individuals. While not the greatest skater, Cillian was always in the top pairing on his hurling team because of his quick feet and fast reflexes. Young Kavanagh became acquainted with the goaltender position in hockey and his young legacy began. After school Cillian practiced his reflexes with a tennis ball on the back of the school at which he attended. His 'ma purchased a pair of roller blades and a net so that he may practice in his driveway. Cillian would invite his friends over to fire pucks at him everyday before and after school. Cillian bought his first pair of goaltender pads and headed to university in order to make a name for himself.
