Hockey has always been more than a sport to me—it’s my passion, my drive, my life. Growing up in the US, I spent countless hours on the ice dreaming of playing at the highest level. Those dreams took me to the USHL with the Sioux City Musketeers and then to the University of Michigan, where I had the chance to win a CCHA championship. It was the perfect place to develop my game and learn what it meant to compete.

Making it to the NHL with the Buffalo Sabres was a dream come true, but hockey has a way of leading you down unexpected paths. My career took me through the AHL, to Europe, and eventually to Germany, where I found so much more than just another league to play in—I found a second home.

Germany has embraced me in ways I could never have imagined. Now leading the Dresdner Eislöwen as captain, the connection I’ve built with the fans, the teams, and the culture is something truly special. The love for hockey here is different—it’s passionate, it’s loyal, and it’s inspired me on and off the ice.

That inspiration is what drove me to create my own hockey-inspired fashion line. I wanted to take everything I love about the game—the energy, the grit, the camaraderie—and bring it to life in a way that everyone can feel a part of, whether you’re on the ice or just living the hockey lifestyle.
