Meet Your Minor Midget AAA Players - #1 Dawson Rowe
When selecting a hockey club the Jr. Rangers Minor Midget AAA team not
only look at the player on the ice but also the player as a member
of our community and a role model to other Jr. Rangers players within
the Kitchener Minor Hockey Association system.
Each week we'll profile a member of the Kitchener Jr. Rangers Minor Midget AAA hockey club so you'll get to know them a little more outside of their play on the ice.
This week we're proud to introduce #1 Dawson Rowe.
Dawson had a tremendous tournament this past weekend in the London Tournament where he went 2-0-1 and only allowed 2 goals. While Dawson showed his skills on the ice he has a lot to offer away from the rink as well.
As the youngest of 3 kids, Dawson has an older brother and sister, he was 3 when he learned to skate and hasn't looked back. Dawson was a good goalie at road hockey and transferred those same skills to the ice where he's been a Jr. Ranger since Novice. While he says his mom makes the best Mac and Cheese, lasagna is his go to meal before games. We're guessing his mom makes a mean lasagna too!!
While a strong competitor on the ice Dawson is also a strong academic student. He attends Cameron Heights as part of the IB program. The International Baccalaureate (IB) is a rigorous program based on international academic standards. The program encourages students to pursue their interests, develop skills for the future and inspire global citizenship. This program will assist in preparing Dawson for University and participate in a variety of extra curricular activities and community service that encourages learning through experiences. Science is Dawson's favorite subject but he says Math is his best subject at school
As a multi sport athlete Dawson competed in the High School OFSAA Track and Field competition in the 300m hurdles this past spring where he competed against the top high school track athletes from across the province. When not playing hockey or running track Dawson enjoys all school sports, especially volleyball. When not running track, playing volleyball or doing homework Dawson enjoys watching the Toronto Maple Leafs play. (They could use you in net this year Dawson looking at the goals they've given up so far) and he lists his favourite athlete as retired NFL player Ray Lewis. Lewis played 17 seasons for the Baltimore Ravens.
In the little bit of spare time Dawson has he enjoys spending time with family, friends, reading and playing the guitar. He lists his favourite movie as Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
Dawson lives every day trying to show positivity and kindness to everyone with the hope that same treatment is returned.
All this while playing the highest level of hockey available for his age!!
Dawson you're a tremendous young man and we're proud to have you as a member of the Kitchener Jr. Rangers Minor Midget AAA program.
