SIGNING ALERT 📢
Welcome Braxton to the Blaze family.
Hi, I'm Braxton Harrold. I'm 15 years old and have been playing hockey since 2021. I love the speed and competitiveness of the game and enjoy being in situations where I can make an impact for my team. I take pride in working hard, being coachable, and doing whatever is needed to help the team succeed. Whether it's scoring goals, creating opportunities for my teammates, or bringing energy to the bench, I always try to play with intensity and leave everything on the ice. My goal is to continue developing my skills, growing as a player, and competing at the highest level possible.
