Athlete of the Month - Evan Groening

Share:

Evan Groening

Evan is an 11-year-old Grade 6 student at NCI and a member of the Eastman Selects South Pee Wee AA team. Evan is focused and driven to succeed, which is evident in his strong academic results as well as his position on the Selects. When Evan heard he was eligible to try out for the 12-year old squad, he set his goal to earn a position. Throughout the summer, Evan focused on his dry land training and attended a number of camps with the intent of entering tryouts in his best condition. All of his hard work paid off and his spot not he team was confirmed after a rigour tryout process. Since joining the team, Evan has continued to strive to do his best and he focuses on putting out his best effort every time he steps on the ice.

When he isn't playing hockey in a rink, on the street, or on a pond, he enjoys golf, water sports, and spending time with family friends, and his two dogs Stuey and Hurley.
