PANTHER PROFILE! 🏒🥅

John Halverson, a sophomore on the Middlebury men’s ice hockey team, spent the first six years of his life in and out of hospitals battling intestinal malrotation, a birth condition in which a baby’s intestines do not position correctly in the abdomen. Overcoming this adversity instilled a key lesson: never take a moment in life, positive or negative, for granted. 

Hear more of John’s journey, from winning a Minnesota state championship as a high school senior to his path to Vermont, using the link in our story! #MiddHockey #PantherProfile [[🎥: gmadvisuals; 📸: Will Costello]]
