2020-2021 SHL player of the year Kevin Purcell
Favorite NHL Team: Chicago Blackhawks Favorite NHL Player: Dustin Byfuglien Favorite Pre-Game Meal: Peanut butter and jelly Influences: “My sophomore year, team captain Nick Liebers… he has had the most impact on my game. He was someone who played with more of a competitive edge than anybody else on the ice. He was an outstanding leader and an even better teammate.” All In The Family: “My brother (John) played on Loyola Gold for two years and had an unreal experience. It made me excited to finally get my chance at high school hockey. Having a brother that played in the SHL before me, I was exposed to the great environment that it brings.” Looking Ahead: “I haven’t decided on a school yet for next year, but I’m applying for an ROTC scholarship from the Marines.” Off The Ice: “I picked up golf last spring during the pandemic. My teammates and I started playing a lot this summer and fall.” Teammate Who You Could See As A Hockey Coach: Ben Moro Hardest Slapshot On Your Team: Ryan Cowan Most Accurate Shot: Will Schreiber Fastest Skater: Nicholas Malaniuk Best High School Uniform (other than Loyola): Providence Catholic From a November 2020 article by Ross Forman
