What attracted you to Princeton University and what was it like playing there?
Princeton has that aura like Harvard where it's talked about and is one of those Ivy League schools. Playing there wasn't in the picture while I was in high school. They sent me a letter when I was playing juniors and I followed back. They corresponded back and I sent them my hockey resume along with my grades and they seemed interested. My decision came down to Princeton and Vermont, where I could have possibly been Torrey Mitchell's teammate. The more I thought about it, I realized I had an opportunity to play at the top ranked undergraduate school in North America and I'd be kicking myself if I didn't take the opportunity. I knew the academics weren't going to be easy and I was in for a hard four-years but I knew I wanted to complete my degree and see where it would take me after that. I took a deep breath and said, "Let's do this," and dedicated myself to academics and hockey for four years.
