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 team captain #15 Marko Sikic.
Marko, along with 3 other teammates, Brandon Abbott, Luc Brzustowski and Braeden Bowman, represented the Kitchener Jr. Rangers Minor Midget AAA program at the 2018-2019 @prohockeylife Alliance All-star game. Marko scored 2 goals for his team in their 6-5 victory and was named player of the game.
Marko is a right shot centremen. A humble leader, Marko prefers to let his actions speak for him in everything that he does. When people watch Marko play, they see his high hockey IQ and speed. Just when you think Marko is skating full out against a defender, he finds another gear to make an offensive play or provide defensive support. Off the ice Marko, like all of his teammates, is a truly respectful young man.
Marko started skating when he was 7 and took off immediately as he’s been a Jr. Ranger every season he’s played. He’s the middle child within his family and his favourite meal is steak, potatoes and asparagus. Marko does say that his mom makes the best chicken pasta.
A student of St. Mary’s high school Marko says English is his favourite subject and History is his least favourite. Like many of this year’s Minor Midget AAA players, Marko is a multi sport athlete who enjoys playing all sports. Words that Marko lives by are “Just Do It”, which shows us he isn't afraid of any challenge or adversity he may face. Marko’s favourite memory is hearing that his younger brother beat Cancer. That’s a great memory Marko!!
The ultra competitive young man, Marko doesn’t have a favourite song he’s willing to admit he’ll bust a move to, but he will say his favourite movie is Miracle, his favorite video game is NHL 19 and his best friend is teammate Preston Smith. Marko lists John Tavares as his favourite hockey player and Vegas Golden Knights as his favourite team. When not playing hockey, Marko enjoys shooting pucks and working out. He did admit that his passport has stamps from Sweden, Finland and Croatia.
Marko is a tremendous multi sport student athlete playing the highest level of hockey available for his age. We’re very proud and fortunate to have Marko as such a role model and member of the Kitchener Jr. Rangers Minor Midget AAA program.
