Former Player living the dream in Germany kaylacampero ・・・ Hockey has given me the most amazing opportunities. When I started playing hockey I was only 4 or 5, and obviously didn’t realize how the sport would shape my life.  I grew up playing in the same rink from when I was 4 until I graduated from Choate.  I played in the Choate rink for the local Wallingford boys’ team when the floorboards were rotten wood and it was warmer outside than inside.  It was such a cool experience to go to Choate and be playing at the new rink, but also the same place I had learned to skate.  It wasn’t really until high school that I realized how much hockey can influence your life and the path you take. I am so thankful for the places hockey has taken me.  Without it, I wouldn’t have ended up at Choate or UConn, and I most certainly wouldn’t be in Germany right now.  Currently, I’m living a dream.  I’m in Germany with my best friend, who I wouldn’t have met if I didn’t play, and we have the opportunity to play the game we love for one more year.  I’d say that’s a pretty great way to spend a year after college.
