Blue Devil Athlete Spotlight: William Parker (Boys' Ice Hockey)



Senior boys’ ice hockey captain William Parker started playing ice hockey when he was in the fifth grade after his father urged him to try out the sport.  Since then, William has been working on his game, evolving into one of the top forwards on coach John Mooney’s team this year.


“He plays a strong two-way game, has good playmaking abilities and a strong shot,” Mooney said.  “As a teammate, he is our captain and always leads by example.  He is a player other guys on our team can look up to and ask for advice.”


William said what he likes most about the game is the feeling of skating around and the tight-knit group of seniors on the team.  William has also learned a lot from Coach Mooney. 


I have learned to always play with confidence,” William said.  


After graduating from LHS, William plans to attend a four-year college and study Sports Management.  He also plays lacrosse here at LHS and his favorite class was Sociology.  His favorite teacher is Ms. Piragis.  


Outside of school, William enjoys playing dek hockey.
