Blue Devil Athlete Spotlight: Adam DeAmicis (Boys' Hockey)

Adam DeAmicis started playing hockey when he was seven years old after attending a game in which his friend was playing in.  After that, Adam was hooked.  Now, the lifelong Leominster resident is a senior captain for the Blue Devils, anchoring the blue line for first-year head coach Frank Mooney.

“Adam is one of our top defensemen this season and has been for the last three seasons,” Mooney said.  “Adam is a strong skater, makes good breakout passes, and can rush the puck effectively when he has the space.”

Mooney said Adam’s impact extends well beyond the rink.

“He has been named our captain this season because he is a role model for our other players both on and off the ice,” Mooney added.  “I also had Adam as a student his freshman year.  He takes school just as seriously as hockey and has been very successful in both.”

Adam grew up playing youth hockey with the Twin City program, and hopes to continue playing after high school for a club program in college.  He plans on majoring in finance.  

Adam’s focus now is the high school season though, where he said he is just happy to be playing the game he loves with his teammates.

“I like the friendships that I make, and being able to spend time with the team, especially since we’re not in school anymore,” Adam said.  

Adam said he has learned a lot during his tenure with the Blue Devil hockey team as well.

“Something I have learned is that being the best is not nearly as important as being a good teammate and person,” Adam said.  

At LHS, Adam is part of Student Council, GIVE, and the National Honor Society.  So far, Adam said his favorite class was Physics with Mr. Noviello.  

Outside of LHS, Adam likes to play video games and hang out with friends.
