Alex's Story

---

When I first picked up a hockey stick and stepped onto the ice at 5 years old, I knew hockey would become a huge part of my life and help shape me into the person I am today. My love for the game was led by my dad who was my coach for many years, and my competitiveness to win. Throughout my career and the experience of being a captain, I have learned many lessons that I use in my daily life such as leadership and teamwork, and I have gained the skills necessary to lead and grow an innovative startup. While I have received 2 concussions throughout my playing career, I was also a teammate of Ben and I was on the ice during his concussive events. Between our experiences, we quickly realized that there is a major problem within impact sports that is left unsolved. The need for an effective and reliable solution fueled our passion to put an end to the concussion epidemic and create what is now known as Capshock.
