PLAYER'S COMMENTS
Who has had the most influence on you (Parent, Coach, Teammate) & Why? My parents have the most influence in my life because they support me in what I love to do, they guide me the right way, and of course they love me.
Who do you pattern your game after and why? Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks because he is a skilled hockey player, and I like his style of play.
What Jersey Number Do You Wear & Significance? 89 is my number. It is the number I started with. Now all my teammates and fellow athletes know me as D'Amico 89.
Do you have any pre-game rituals or superstitions (what do you do & why)? My pre game rituals are shoot pucks, stretch, and listen to music. This helps me get focused before the game.
What Is Your Most Memorable Hockey Moment and Why? My most memorable hockey moment was winning the International Silver Stick Championship in Whitby, Ontario, because it was a big tournament, and a major accomplishment in minor hockey.
If you could have dinner with three people, who would they be and why? If I could have dinner with 3 people they would be Patrick Kane, Coach Louie Gialedakis, and my dad. This is because Patrick Kane has a lot of experience and skills in hockey to share, Coach Louie could teach me those skills, and my dad because he supports and encourages what I love.
The one thing people don't know about me is: I can't say, because if I did, everyone would know.
