Hockey Bio: Jay started playing hockey at 9 years of age. However did not start playing organized hockey until High School, when he was the captain of his age group. He then went on to play for the U16 North West Province team in South Africa. After leaving Africa for the U.S Jay had a spell of 5 years out of the game while he attended college, after which he joined CFHC.

CFHC Experience: I have been with CFHC for 3 years now (two years of that for Grad school). I enjoy playing with the club because everyone knows how to have a good time, while still playing hockey at a high level.
