Playing Junior Hockey in Canada was definitely one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had, especially after having grown up in Asia. However, when I played junior I was a student at Western University and I had to make a lot of sacrifices, so as I’m sure most people in this situation did, I chose Hockey over school a lot. It is a challenge but definitely doable.

I sat down with two of my past teammates who were in a similar situation to bring awareness to the struggles of being a student athlete.
