What The Eagle Says:

I always wanted to play professional hockey. Every hockey player's dream, no matter at what level or what age, is to play professionally. At first you don’t know what it’s all about, but you have that dream and you always work hard toward it. The older you get, the more you start dedicating yourself to the game.
