Northstar's Last Week!

 Hello all, Today starts the last week of the school year for the u16 and u18 knights team’s. It was really cool before starting up the FCA Hockey internship to experience the repercussions of what FCA Hockey can do to a hockey community. Intentional is the word I keep hearing from people of all walks of life when telling stories of Northstar and the impact it has made. These young men have grown in the short time I’ve been a part of their playing lives, but many I’ve watched grow over the years through God’s word and purpose for their lives. It’s truly fulfilling witnessing to them and exciting for what’s to come.


Now, God will be in their corner and they will have a foundation to be grounded in when times of troubles come along. For graduates, it's facing the hard reality of what Junior hockey brings and the grind that comes along with it. I pray they find the beauty in all they face and God can move through them where they end up. For returning players, preparing for next season and training over the summer. One verse always comes up Hebrews 5:14, “Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong” These men are able to keep building and chasing after Christ! It’s an exciting time to be purified and keep understanding God’s way to not fall into temptation.

I probably have written this somewhere, but the 1st week I was here, I witness vulnerable moments that tugged my heartstrings of the power that God gives us when we are obedient with him. I would’ve loved to play here, but it wasn’t meant for me, but something bigger. The motive is pure and honest as this team goes into its offseason. The people who have helped between donors, staff, billet families and the players sacrificing comfort to better themselves preparing them to preach the gospel to all ends of the world. 

I cannot wait to even intern with some of these guys and grow together throughout the summer.

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...
