1. What makes hockey special for the player? Why? Keegan’s love for the game, there are plenty of things we as coaches try to teach the kids and one thing that sticks out to me is, no matter what the score of the game, what situation we are in Keegan is always smiling on the ice, Yes he is one of our strongest players but that is a result of his commitment to practice and always trying to learn new skills. Keegan loves the game for it’s fast pace, physical play, checking and most of all he says a fun TEAM sport.

2. What is their favorite hockey experience? Keegan’s favorite experience was last year we took our team to The Fleet Center and played a game on the Bruins Ice, we then attended the Bruins game after. Just to see there eyes as they where looking up at the scoreboard from center ice was beautiful. A close second was the triple overtime game against Umass vs Maine two years ago.

Keegan is a Honer student at Frontier Regional High School being in the 7th grade. He is a three sport athlete, soccer and baseball as his two others. Of course HOCKEY is #1.
