Steven grew up in California and didn’t know what hockey was until his best friend, Rembrandt Sabelis (who was Canadian) took him to Mississauga, Ontario for Christmas where - Steven played hockey for the first time...on a pond in Canada where his face froze in a smile and he fell in love with the sport. When it came time to pick a favorite hockey team, Steven was inspired by the Boston Bruins, who signed Willie O'Ree, the first black hockey player in the NHL and in honor of Mr. O’Ree, Steven has always worn jersey #22.
Steven loves the game of hockey and how the hockey community supports each other like family. He wants to instill that love and support in our youth, while building a strong foundation of positivity and self-confidence, as valuable life skills.
