My journey as an athlete

The goalie position undoubtedly piqued my interest from a very young age.

I started playing hockey with the Laval-Nord Minor Hockey Association as a player in the MAHG programs. 

As soon as the opportunity arose to put on pads, I took that chance and never looked back.

From Pee-wee to Midget AAA, I played in the development structure of Hockey Laval-Montreal. 

At the junior level, having been selected by the Chicoutimi Sagueneens in the QMJHL draft in June 2018, I started the following season with the Collège d'Alma Jeannois at the Collégial AAA Division 1 level of the RSEQ, while practicing weekly with the major junior team.

During the covid shutdown season, I took the opportunity to train at home and complete as many courses as possible from my curriculum in order to quickly finish my Cégep in three years. 

I played my last season in 2021-2022 with the St-Jérôme Panthers at the Junior AAA level, during which I officially completed my DÉC.

I genuinely loved my hockey experience. I am convinced that it is the combination of my studies and my high-level sport that has led me to develop a rigorous work ethic, discipline, professionalism and a marked capacity for resilience. 

These are ultimately the values that I try to pass on to my goalies.

My academic journey

Managing my studies and my high-level sport has always been a non-negotiable for me. Education is still to this day my priority.

I did my high school studies at Collège Laval until Secondary 4, before transferring schools during my season with the Laval-Montreal Rousseau-Royal at the Midget AAA level. 

Having always had a keen interest in science, I chose to follow the Health and Life Sciences stream in high school (mathematics, chemistry and physics).

I pursued my studies in the same field throughout my Cégep years. 

I am now a student at the University of Montreal faculty of Medicine, in Occupational Therapy. I incorporate the knowledge I have gained from my academic background and my sports experiences into all aspects of my coaching.
