Introduction 

     Hi, my name is Jerrett Overland. I was bored and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. I'm fifteen years old and play hockey. I have one sister, mom , and a dad. Both of my parents are doctors and they own there own business in Las Vegas. They are both chiropractors. My sister is thirteen years old and she is a freshman in high school, she goes to Bishop Gorman. She is a cheerleader and enjoys tubing and hanging with her friends on her free time. I also have one pet, a dog, named Gigi. She's a Maltese and she's the only reason I wanna come home everyday. 

    I started playing hockey when I was eight years old. I've been playing for almost eight years. You're probably wondering how and why did i get into hockey since I love in the desert. It all started when my friend named Niko invited me to his ice skating birthday party, and a hockey coach saw me skate and told me I should start playing. I started really late for hockey, but that didn't stop me, I trained hard everyday before school at five am every morning. The hard work and dedication got me to the travel team in only one summer of hard work and lessons. My mom always used to say it was meant for you to start late, and the timing was perfect, they needed one spot on the team. Since that moment I've fell in love with the game and couldn't see myself not playing it. 

    I played in Las Vegas for the Las Vegas Storm for about 5 years. After I started to get older I realized I had to move away from home if I wanted to pursue my hockey dream. So since then, I've lived in 3 different states, Utah, California, and now Connecticut. Hockey has taken me many places and has taught me many things. It's my passion and my whole family understands what I'm trying to do. This past year I've been rewarded with many things, I got invited to attend the USA hockey national camp, which is the top 200 kids in the nation, get four training camp offers for the WHL, and of course have the luxury of making the team here in the beautiful campus of Cheshire. 

    Outside of hockey I love to hang with friends, spend time with families, listen to music, and workout. I enjoy traveling a lot, with hickey you don't get the luxury of traveling, me and my family try to take a vacation once a year. The past few years I've been fortunate enough to travel to Jamaica, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, and multiple US states.
