His goals in hockey are to improve his speed in
skating and to have a harder slapshot.
In terms of most notable accomplishments, Clinton says, “Last season, 2023-2024,
I was awarded the Char-Lan Minor Hockey Earl Sandilands Memorial Trophy for
the U11 division.”
He also has a ton of enthusiasm for his chosen sport. “Hockey is a great sport to
show how to work together as a team and that no matter if you win or lose, you can
still enjoy the game,” he says. “Working together, no matter where you come from
or where you are at, is something that is important for everyone to learn.”
