Nothing better than winning a home game at Ingalls in front of the best fans in college hockey.

Walking back to Old Campus from ADPHI at 9 o’clock in the morning in a full bunny onesy pajama outfit was pretty tough. Or just anytime I speak up during a section.

Winning the Ivy League Championship with my friends last year.
If you were to take a girl on a date where would you bring her?

Making my mom breakfast in bed when she was sick.
Yale girls are best because…
Being sexy and smart at the same time is quite the combo.
