When and where did you begin this sport? | He began speed skating at age three in Moose Jaw, SK, Canada. | |
Reason for choosing this sport | "My parents thought it would be a better fit than ice hockey. It was cheaper and my dad skated when he was younger." | |
Training Regime | He trains at the Olympic Oval in Calgary, AB, Canada. |
Injuries | In November 2021 he tested positive for the COVID-19 virus at the World Cup event in Stavanger, Norway. He was required to remain in Norway for a period of quarantine and missed the following World Cup event in Salt Lake City, UT, United States of America, as a result. (schaatsen.nl, 06 Dec 2021) | |
