Jared N Media spot

I grew up playing the game of hockey. The first time I ever played was the time that I new I wanted to play for the rest of my life. I have played all the other sports but hockey was the most fun and enjoyable. As I was getting older I took the game more seriously, as I started working harder and hiring a personal trainer. When I was old enough and felt like I was good enough to play in the higher leagues I signed up for the VHL to start my dream that I have always wanted to become. I waited a few days, talked to some of the GM’s of the different minor league teams so that I had a good understanding of what to expect. Later that week I got a FA offer from the San Diego Marlins, I have never been so happy. From that day on I knew I have to work harder then I have before. I started to play and my GM told me that I am going to be playing on the first line, I could not believe what I heard, I knew this was the team for me. My regular season started and was a little nervous but played to my best ability. My debut was pretty good as I got an assist. Throughout the season I was getting assist after assist and finally at the 50th game of the season I finally got my first career goal. All of my hard work has finally came together. By the end of the season I finished with 25 points better then I expected when I first started. The season came to a close and we had a lot of ups and down during the season. We were all worried that we would not even make the playoffs, but with our hard work and not giving up we achieved our goal of making the playoffs. Our playoff run wasn’t what what we have had we still did our best every day. During the season I was named all Canada’s Jr team. That was an amazing experience even to be on the team. I got the opportunity to play in the game and have a few minutes a game. During one of the games I even had an assist, I could not have even dreamed of doing that as I represented my home country. Thank you for the opportunity. I will never forget those moments. 

    When I was coming into this league at first I knew nothing and had to learn everything by talking to people privately for hours. This is all a new thing to me and I am thankful to be where I am today. I had the best GM I could have ever asked for, IR. He never gave up on me or the team throughout the year through our ups and downs. I sat down with him for long periods of time throughout the season to understand everything that I needed to know. I could not thank him enough for everything he has done. I am forever grateful. 

I was lucky to have an amazing GM well if that’s not amazing I even had a great AGM. MexicanCow is the best AGM you will ever come across. He is easy to communicate with and works with everyone so well. I am so proud of him because this off season he got the job to be a GM for a team. I am forever grateful for him. 

For my teammates thank you for being there for me. I could not have asked for better teammates then what I had this season. 

Thank you to the whole SD Marlins organization for believing in me throughout my rookie season.

 

Thank you, Jared
