Austin Keiser: Junior Hockey Goalie

Me and Austin met at camp over the summer, he was one of  the goalie coaches and he was so awesome with the kids. I knew he was young just by looking at him, I didn't just how young until he told me he just turned 19 over the summer! I swear these kids, they're making me feel so old! I'm about to turn 24 and he just turned 19!  But he's doing well he's playing juniors hockey. I asked him a few questions and looked at his face book to write this blog. Here's what I found out: His birthday is July 21st. He went to Kent's Hill high school. He played football, hockey and LAX! He said had he gone to college he would have majored in Psychology which is funny cause I was insterested in psychology at some point.He likes rap and rock. His favorite movies are blind side and the hangover. As you can see so far he's a typical boy. As I can figure from his pictures he was the homecoming king or prom king and he enjoys being out on the water.He says he looks up to Carey Price who is the goalie for the Montreal Canadiens and is only a year younger than me. Austin had this to say about his hero: "price is a battler that never gives up. he was a backing goalie last year and battled through that to become a great starter this year." Awesome. He's not all about hockey though he's also a Falcons fan and his favorite falcon is michael Turner. I'll have some more from the teenager including why he likes Michael Turner and his favorite moment from high school.

Juniors Hockey

I know I've told you about my friend Austin Carty but now I'll tell you about my friend Austin Keiser. I know I posted this picture before but I didn't really explain who it was when I first posted it. My friend Amanda took this photo at camp, among others. The reason I mention Austin now is that I realized I give shout outs to hockey players on all levels, expect juniors. Juniors isn't considered professional except in Canada but I wanted to honor some of these youngsters because they're hopefully on their way to being the next Ilya Kovalchuck or Zach Bogosian or whoever. So I'll start talking to people in the Junior hockey circles and see who the shinning stars are that I can feature on here and hopefully maybe you'll see them playing in the NHL or AHL someday!
