Reflecting on his time at CATS Academy Boston, Zachary said:
“I’m really thankful for my experience at CATS. Having the opportunity to simultaneously play hockey at a high-level and partake in rigorous academics were important factors to me, and CATS Academy Boston was able to provide me with that throughout my three-year journey. In doing so, I stepped outside my comfort zone, leaving home and familiar faces behind, but gained lifelong friendships with peers from around the world.”
