CARSON RUSENSTROM

Number: 49

Rusenstrom feels that hockey is a great sport, allowing him many opportunities. One such is the chance to spend time at the arena with his teammates and making new friends along the way. He credits the game with teaching the importance of teamwork, learning to draw on each other’s strengths for the best outcome.

As well, he’s proud to have learned the importance of working hard towards a goal if you really want to be successful.

Currently a grade 10 student at PHS, Rusenstrom looks forward to his final year of high school and continuing to play hockey. His coach said Rusenstrom is an aggressive player who’s quick to get under his opponents’ skin and doesn’t hesitate to make a move, beating them on the rush. He’s known to be strong on his stick and can often get a shot passed opposing net-minders by cutting to the middle in the offensive zone and sneaking through a rising shot. Rusenstrom is quiet and laid back off the ice, but enjoys the high energy of the dressing room.
