JMS Hockey

When I was 14 I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma where I went through chemotherapy and radiation treatment successfully into remission. Around this time is when I began my love for hockey. I loved following the Penguins because of Marion Lemieux, not just because of his talent or the enormous points he put up every year, but because he also had had Hodgkins disease and was able to come back and play. This was my inspiration to start up hockey. I had never held a stick and skated at the same time but decided to start playing my Junior year of high school. It was rough and embarrassing, but it developed the core fundamentals I needed for the game. After graduating High School I then moved on to playing club level hockey at Inver Hills Community College as well as Intramural hockey at St. Cloud State University. After graduating college and found out about JMS hockey, I immediately bought new hockey gear (my old gear was small and out dated) and began playing games regularly every week to this day. I can say with out a doubt that playing these games In my young adult age (born 1986) has been some of the most fun I have every had in my entire hockey career.
