Christian cup


 This week is the Christian cup, a camp for FCA Hockey I usually can’t make, but this year I got to play on the FCA Dragons. This team was filled with almost all of the Northstar and FCA Hockey front office which is know as the toughest office in the league. To start of the weekend we lost 9-7 but had a big comeback being down 6-1 at one point. Saturday morning we won 8-1 that bid us into the championship game Sunday morning. Then a great testimony from Bobby Robbins, a great man of God and a strong man. He shared his sinful past and his hockey past that is now glorified through Jesus Christ and now uses him testimony to spread the gospel to whoever he encounters. After that we played a mix-match game with a team and I became a Nordique! Then Sunday morning at 7am, we played the Knights again, the 1st team we lost to filled with u18 active Northstar Knights players. We won the final game 5-4.


     The topic of the weekend is the 10 traits of a Godly Man that was created for Northstar and people who wants to know what it means to be a man. We went over all 10 and all had amazing biblical stories and messages behind al of them. I’ve personally went through all 10 last summer when we used this with ‘the program’ devotions with kids from 7-15. It’s truly amazing how kids and men react to this and start searching themselves and asking God to be a real man! Personally, I’ve learned to work on seeking God’s approval, not man’s. It started from school, home life then hockey trying to not be the best, but perfect. I’ve had struggles with pleasing people and what they want and think about me, but it’s now God’s approval that matters in the end.

A year without Hockey

My season and junior hockey career ended by falling short to the playoffs with the CT Chiefs on February 28th, 2020. I was injured (but still playing), touring multiple college campuses, texting and emailing with college coaches to get them to come see if what I had to offer was good for their program.  Energy, Speed, relentlessness, passion and loyalty. Injured or not, I was driven to get on a college team and take the next step in my life. Then as I was a phone call away from commiting to a college, that's when the world literally started shutting down. 14 days to flatten the curve.  The hockey world, while I was at a rink watching pro sports, shut down right before my own eyes. People preluding to wearing masks even before the mandatory mask mandates and breaking news that weekend of a national shutdown across the U.S. I was heartbroken, stressed and feared what would happen next for everyone in everyday life and hockey.  The only thing that kept me sane an...

Team FCA

Hello guys! To those of you who don't know, I'm in Alexandria, Minnesota this summer interning with FCA Hockey. To the people who donated, thank you so much for supporting me in this journey this summer! To the people who have no idea what I'm talking about, I'll fill you in coming up and tap here to donate.    So I've come into Minnesota May 20th to meet my billet family, and the guys who are interning along side with me. We set up our rooms and chat about our hockey and faith experiences and connected real quick.     This week, we started most of the days with an ice session that was great! We as a group then sat down and talked about our duty's here, learning the facilities and worked on our testimonies. As Thursday came around, our first camp, Team FCA started. I was the coach on Gold team. We went over the message of the summer in Matthew 28:18-21.      Then Jesus came to them and said,"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given t...

Team FCA Camp

      This week we welcomed all the interns to Alexandria as well as campers on thursday afternoon for Team FCA and Jr. FCA. My team was with FCA Jr. Black as we went 2-1 this weekend and had 11 total campers accepted Jesus in their lives. We prepared, trained and tried our best to further the kingdom of God and making disciples.      The impact I felt was amazing and had very interactive conversations, devo talks and hockey talks with many of my team, the other FCA Jr. team and older kids that I've known since I started this 3 years ago. It was cold most of the weekend, but we got a lot accomplished and introducing a worship team with Travis, Allie and Addison. Also for the 1st time we had a junior/ youth hockey panel talking about the hockey culture and how to combat it with our faith and make it better. We watched the chosen, a tv series free to watch, about the disciples of the bible and their story within following Jesus. Games, workouts, yog...
