Following Clemson club ice hockey’s standout season, The Tiger sat down with Jack Owen-Turner, team captain, to discuss his love for the sport and his road to Clemson.

Kelly Kaelblein (KK): Where are you from, and how did you start playing hockey?

Jack Owen-Turner (JOT): I was actually born in Edmonton, Canada. I grew up mostly in Toronto until the age of 10. So I started skating when I was two years old — I mean, ever since I remember. Growing up in Canada, there wasn't really another option; that's what most people there do. So I kind of grew up there, and I played hockey in the Timbits program, which was a little baby program in Canada. And then I just kind of went from there and ended up moving to Michigan. And it's where I ended up playing high school prep hockey. And then I came here.

KK: What's your earliest memory of playing hockey?

JOT: I was still pretty young, maybe six, and my brother is two years older than me. And my parents wanted both of us to play hockey. And I always remember that he refused to skate, and they would get us lessons on the ice together. He would end up just throwing a tantrum and getting off the ice, so I ended up being the only one skating.

But it's funny because nowadays, he always jokes around like he wishes he played hockey because he loves to watch it and he loves the sport. I just always remember that young age of my brother refusing to skate. I guess that's my first real memory.
