Where did you grow up, and what first made you fall in love with hockey?

I grew up in the Beaches, which is near downtown Toronto.

I think the first thing made me fell, fall in love with hockey was probably my dad continued to play even when he got, when he retired from, from the OHL.

And so I think he kinda made me fall in love with the game.

And watching it on TV, kinda there's, there's an atmosphere of hockey all around the place, so yeah.

What, what team did you watch growing up, and who were kinda some of your favorite players that you've kinda watched that you maybe model your game after a little bit?

I, so I'm from Toronto, so I love watching Toronto.

But as a defenseman, they really haven't had that many great defensemen.
