Blue Devil Athlete Spotlight: Jordan Adu (Boys' Ice Hockey)

Senior CTEi Electrical student Jordan Adu, a Skyview and Northwest graduate, is the captain for coach Frank Mooney’s LHS ice hockey team this year and one of the top players on the team.  

“He is willing to play whatever position the team needs,” Mooney said.  “He is a good skater with a strong shot.  He is our captain this season and does a good job of leading by example both on and off the ice.”

Jordan started playing ice hockey when he was nine years old.

“I had enjoyed watching the sport at a young age,” Jordan said.  “I started off playing ball hockey (for) a couple years and started playing ice hockey (after that).”

(What I like most about ice hockey is) “I enjoy the feeling of scoring goals and setting teammates up to score goals,” Jordan said.  

Jordan also likes being a part of the LHS ice hockey team.  

“I enjoy bonding with my team in the locker room before, during and after games and practices,” Jordan said.  

Jordan said his game has grown, particularly on the mental side, under the direction of Coach Mooney.

“Coach Mooney has taught me to play with confidence,” Jordan said.

After graduation, Jordan plans on attending college and majoring in Physical Education.  Here at LHS, Jordan has been a member of the outdoor track team the past two years.

Jordan said has gotten a lot of the academic and vocational classes has taken at LHS/CTEi.

“All of my teachers have been great,” Jordan said.  “But school would not be school without Ms. Beaulac, Mr. Gollinger and all of my teachers I have had throughout high school.”

Outside of school, Jordan enjoys hanging out with his friends and supporting them at their sporting events.  

Blue Devil Athlete Spotlight: Jayden Masse-Lerouge (Wrestling)

Junior wrestling captain Jayden Masse-Lerouge has emerged for Matt Schiller’s team this year, going from a two-year backup to a starter this year who has only two losses and second place finish to his credit at the Milford Tournament.  

“He works his butt off and has completely transformed his body and mind in the last two years,” Schiller said.    

The Sky View and Northwest graduate started wrestling during his freshman year at CTEi.

“I thought it would be cool to wrestle, no one introduced me to the sport though,” Jayden said.  

Jayden said what he likes the most about wrestling is the mindset you need to have in order to be successful.

 

“You have to be able to lose and handle a loss while working hard to make sure you win,” Jayden said.  “It’s an individual sport, if you lose it's your fault, and also if not the hardest, one of the hardest sports in high school.”

When asked what he liked most about being a part of the LHS team, Jayden said it was “the bond you build amongst people you never thought you would get along with.”

Jayden said the big takeaway from Coach Schiller is that quitting should never be an option.  

“For wrestling my coach has shown me that you don't have to have a body for wrestling, a wrestling background, or any special privileges, you just have to be willing to work hard and endure any pain thrown your way,” Jayden said.  

Jayden is an HVAC student at CTEi who hopes to move to New York after graduating.  

“(I want to) find a well paying HVAC job in New York, and increase my incoming while pursuing my clothing brand on the side taking it to the next level,” Jayden said. 

In the spring, Jayden is a member of the track and field team.  

“My favorite class in LHS has been Ms. McAuliffe and Mr. Lee’s English class freshman year,” Jayden said.  

Outside of school, Jayden enjoys working (he has two jobs).

“I (also) enjoy working on my clothing brand whether it’s designing, networking or manufacturing,” Jayden added.  “I enjoy writing stories and poems.  I enjoy watching anime. I enjoy working out whether its lifting or going for a run.”

I enjoy going to work after school I work 2 jobs.
