I came out in 2000 aged 17 having played all sorts of sports throughout my teens. Due to a serious ear infection that caused me to lose a section of my inner ear I am was left unable to play any form of sport that left my head unprotected. When I went to university in the UK in the autumn of 2000 I took up hockey and ended up playing in goal due to the padding. This is the position I have remained throughout my playing career. After I left uni in 2003 I left the sport behind, only to pick it up again in 2017 in the second year of my second degree. Since then I have played for four teams in my local area, all of which know about my gender identity. Currently I am playing in the firth and sixth tier of English hockey.
