Keiton Klein


Keiton is currently playing for the Everett Junior Silvertips Peewee Tier II team.  He has been chasing pucks since 2007 when he had his start as a Whatcom Warrior in his home town of Bellingham.  Keiton works hard to develop his hockey skills and thinks that being on a team with his friends is the best part about playing hockey; that and using his slap shot.  Keiton attends middle school at Whatcom Day Academy in Bellingham where his favorite subject this year is social science because he has enjoyed working on his National History Day project.  In his free time he likes to shoot on his hockey tarp, play mini hockey or hockey video games, watch reality TV shows (Gold Rush is the current favorite) and pass the time texting with his hockey friends on his I-pod.

Bethany Akers


I am Bethany Akers, I am on the EYH PeeWee Bruins team. I started playing hockey in Virginia when I was around 6 years old as a player. When I was 10 I was able to skate on the Washington Capitals ice as a flag bearer. About a year later we moved to Washington. For my first season I was a player but I wanted a change, so I became a back - up goalie. It has been a year since then and this is my first season as a goalie with my own team and I'm loving it.  

At school I'm in 8th grade and my grades are all A's and B's. I love P.E. and Band. I love P.E. because I can try all sorts of different sports and be active more than just at the rink. The reason I love band is because I love making music and I play the drums and percussion instruments. I want to get good grades and do well in hockey. My dreams are to be the first women in the NHL as a goalie and to do well in college and just have fun through life.

Thanks

Zach Nield

Hello,
My name is Zach Nield and I play hockey for the Everett Kodiak mite team.  I attend Allen Creek Elementary in Marysville; I am in the first grade.  I really like school and am doing math and reading at a 2nd and 3rd grade level.  The best part of school is recess and lunch.  The only thing better then school is hockey.  I would live at the rink if my mom and dad let me.  I have lots of friends that play hockey and even one friend that plays for SJHA.  When I get bigger I hope to play hockey for the Silvertips or be an astronaut.  What I like to do on weekends is play video games, ride bikes, play hockey with my brother in the living room – my parents don’t like the marks on the wall – but we have fun.  My best hockey moment is going to Philadelphia to watch the Flyers play and skating out and being introduced with the Silvertips.  I have a brother, Reagan and a cat named Flyer, she is very mean.  See you at the rink.

Adam Bingham


I am Adam Bingham and am an 8th grader at Cavelero Mid-High School in Lake Stevens.  I played Defense for the EYH Bantam Kodiaks during the regular season and am now playing on the EYH PeeWee/Bantam North Dakota team for Spring Hockey.
 
I can’t get enough of hockey!  When I’m not at the rink, I’m practicing shots in the garage or in the street with my Dad.  He and I also go to many early morning Stick-n-Pucks.  I have even found a way to incorporate hockey in just about every subject at school.  I wrote a persuasive paper for Language Arts to the school Superintendent asking them to consider school sponsored hockey teams and I recently presented my Gateway to Technology (a pre-engineering class) project to the Lake Stevens School Board – it was a fully to scale hockey rink designed on the computer using AutoDesk Inventor.  I am also a San Jose Sharks fan and although am disappointed they lost in the Conference Championship series, I am still proud of the way they played.
 
With 3 older sisters at home, my Dad and I try to balance it all out with lots and lots of hockey and a little salmon fishing, crabbing and COD mixed in as well!
 
See you at the rink!

Matt Ness

Hi, my name is Matt Ness and I'm a goal tender for the Everett Grizzlies in the Midget division. I am 15 years old and have been playing hockey ever since the Comcast Arena opened. I have a GPA of 4.0 at Stanwood High and my favorite subjects are math and band. I plan to move up to the tier ll division next year. I also plan to move up academically by taking as many AP classes as possible. Hopefully I can use those skills at a four year collage. Some people think I'm crazy to stand in front of an 80 mph slap shot... and there right. But I enjoy it. When I'm not robbing someone of the game winning goal, I like to watch sports, jam out on the drums, and hang out with my friends. I can't wait to get back to the rink and keep improving my skills and I hope to see you there too.

Happy hockey playing!!! Matt (the Mustang) Ness #1

Rylan Huot

My name is Rylan Huot. I play right defense on the Everett Youth Hockey Bantam Tier II Jr. Silvertips AA team.

I am a 4.0 student at Cavelaro Mid High School and in the future I hope to study advanced engineering and become a roller coaster tycoon.

I've been playing hockey for 8 years and being a defenseman, I enjoy bone crushing hits and turning my slapshot loose on goalies. Although hockey is my first love, I also enjoy playing golf and tennis. Some of my favorite memories of playing hockey through the years are the fun times playing on the same ice and my dad and sister. When I'm not in the penalty box, I like taking long walks on the beach at sunset, or I can be found enjoying a morning cup of Earl Grey tea with my mom, as we enjoy the sunrise from the porch. Whether I am on the ice playing, or following in my father's footsteps, teaching hockey, I feel like the ice rink is my second home.

Alex Palagyi

Hi   -   I’m Alex Palagyi, I play hockey for the Everett Youth Hockey Squirt Kodiaks.  I attend Zion Lutheran School where my favorite subjects are religion and math.  Besides hockey I enjoy playing baseball, music, going fishing, shooting sports and video games.

One of my favorite hockey memories (so far) is flying from California at 6:00am to make a noon game in Tacoma and then scoring my first hat trick.  It was worth getting up at 3:30 am.

I’ve played at EYH for four years and made some good friends and learned a lot about hockey and sportsmanship.  My favorite NHL player is Alex Ovechkin which makes sense since I was born in Russia and have the same first name.

Thank you EYHBC for recognizing my school work.

Mac Styrk

Hi, my name is Mac Styrk. I played for the Bantam Grizzlies last season and am an 8th grade student at Langley Middle School on Whidbey Island.
I have been an AP student since 5th grade and excel in Math & Science programs. I finished with a 4.0 this year and it wasn't easy. I made an agreement with my parents "School first, Sports second", so I was doing my homework on the ferry or at the rink before practices and late at night. One of my favorite classes is an elective, Adventure ED. Last year we went on a 5 day camp/hike through the Olympic forest and coast where I got to experience all sorts of new things.
I have been going to Tip's games and told my dad that I wanted to play hockey but didn't know of any place I could here on the Island so I was enrolled into the EYH Learn to Skate & Learn to Play programs and have had a blast since. Coach Renny keeps me on my skates and has helped me improve each time I step on the ice. I can't wait for this falls season!
