I am 11 years old and began playing hockey at the age of 7 for the Florida Jr. Panthers at the MIte AA & Squirt A levels. For the 2012-2013 I changed teams to the Golden Wolves. I have been lucky enough to make some great friends of all three teams I played for. Not only have I played travel hockey but I have been selected to play for the Selects National Hockey Training Program during the off season. I also attended hockey camp at Princeton University in New Jersey. While in New Jersey I trained with the New Jersey Jr. Devils Hockey Program.
I watch hockey all the time and my favorite team is the New Jersey Devils. I live in Florida so I have to root for the Florida Panthers since I attend many of their home games with my dad. My favorite NHL player is Zach Parise and I would like to be able to play the same style of hockey as Zach. Other than hockey I have played tackle football, basketball, baseball, and soccer. Hockey and soccer are my two favorite sports. I am a good student in school and I know good grades will allow me to play college hockey when I am older.
I live in Coral Springs, Florida with my family, mom, dad, and younger sister who gets on my nerves. I hope to grow up and make my family proud of me and play college hockey. Please see my facebook page at dominic.safonte@facebook.com.
