What brought me to the Varsity Spartans program  was that I wanted to be in better shape and to be a stronger hockey player.


My first impression of the program was that it would be all work and no fun. It turned out to be all the work can be made to be fun. A lot of your speed and agility work is very fun.


My first brightspot was when I was able to push press 145 lbs.


I am now working towards getting my front squat to 290 lbs.


My favourite spartan memory was when we were doing the dot drill. Coach Matt said that Goalies shouldn’t be slower than the skaters and I had the second best time of the all Spartans. Also deadlifting 300lbs for the first time was awesome.
