The Icy Wall that came from Panama

 

Ronan Amnon was born in Panama and he was given the name Ronan because his parents believed that he would become the next successful family member followed by his father who was a former hockey player for the Panama hockey league and his mother as a scientist.  When Ronan was only in 2nd grade, he wanted to learn how to ice skate after watching the ice skating olympics. He struggled a lot in his first rink time, he would hold on the walls and he would be too nervous to accept the fact that he would fall the first few times until the hockey coach for his elementary school came up to him and gave him some advice. “Let the ice be your friend, not the enemy” is something Ronan will never forget after succeeding in mastering basic ice skating and he was so happy that he decided he wanted to become a hockey player representing his country. He played every position except goalie but he could never find the right position for him as he struggled to score goals and swerve defenders away whenever he had the puck. He grew frustrated that he was tempted to quit Ice hockey during middle school.

 

But one day, a professional hockey player was watching practice and noticed how Ronan was keeping good posture whenever he stayed in the back lines and eventually, Ronan would make some defensive highlights from time to time blocking passes from going through and even skating with the puck while having some decent passing skills. The former professional player was so impressed with him that he decided to give him some one to one training sessions during summer break. Entering high school, Ronan would become a day 1 starter as a defenseman and display his potential to cover a lot of ice and protect the goalie from potential shots being made. He felt that he was starting to finally understand who he was as a hockey player and he would later commit to playing as a defenseman after playing as a center for a few games. But Ronan faced many challenges along the way like how he was gonna manage his studies while playing hockey but luckily he had his family and friends to guide him along the way as he graduated high school as one of the first players from Panama to play hockey. 

 

As his career went on, he was offered a lot of contracts from the VHLM league to start in their squads as a defenseman. He was blessed to be offered as a high school student. But he couldn’t decide which team to sign with so he decided to scout the league and see what each team has to offer. He found out that some teams will be giving him more playing time than others. And there were some teams that were winning more games than others. But that didn’t stop him from deciding which team to join since all he cares about is improving his game. Eventually, he decided to sign a contract with the Mexico City Kings giving him the chance to step into something even bigger.
