Welcome to Victorious Futures -our weekly update of players who have selected the Victorious Hockey Company to collaborate with them in the pursuit of advancing their hockey careers to the next level. Our goal is to help each prospect achieve his individual goals by continually monitoring and sharing their progress in both play and conditioning. This is where one can learn about our players’ most recent achievements, both on and off the ice, first-hand.
Each week our clients are tasked with the simple charge of providing an update to their progress. We invite you to follow their development here.
Dawson Williams
2006 Forward
Orange Lutheran Varsity USHS-CA
This week I have started using visualization as a pre-game mental warm up. I take five minutes in the locker room just before we go out for warm ups. I picture myself making plays, scoring goals and think of previous in-game success and then picture that success in the upcoming game. It’s not something I’ve ever done before, but this weekend I had my highest points total for a while – 5G & 5A in 3 games so I will definitely be continuing.
WEEK: 3GP 5G, 5A, 10PT / TOTAL 10GP 8G, 10A, 18PT
Cassidy Kittredge
2007 Goalie
South Hills Panthers 15O AAA
In practice this week I focused on absorbing shots and focusing on rebounds. I also worked on making rebounds unplayable or not in a dangerous position which could end up in a goal. This weekend my team played Mercer Chiefs and we won 3-2. I played very well and had some clutch saves which would solidify our win. The first grading quarter also ended last week and I ended with a 3.96GPA.
WEEK: 1GP 2.00GAA, .944SV%, 1-0 record / TOTAL: 12GP 2.21GAA, .915SV%, 8-4 record

Kento Sanchez
2006 Forward
Colorado Rampage 16u AAA
This past weekend we had 3 home games. I did not produce many points but I think I was a key factor for our team in helping generate offense from good defense. Also being a quick F1 or F2 to support and getting lots of shots on net.
WEEK: 3GP, 0G, 1A, 1PT / TOTAL: 21GP, 3G, 5A, 8PT
Cale Nahorney
2004 Defenseman
Chase Heat, KIJHL
Overall, it’s been a solid week. There has been a lot of transition on the team the first few weeks in the season and I’ve had the opportunity to play forward as well as my regular D, which was fun. This last week I had 2 assists and felt really good about being offensive and helping the guys make some plays. I have been solid on PP and overall feel pretty confident. I am enjoying assistant coaching the U13 team here in town and with the last snowfall have been out shovelling driveways and sidewalks for the community. I have been working on my off-ice mindset as I can see how much it affects not only me but the whole team. Looking forward to a few more W (and a few more points this upcoming week).
WEEK: 2GP, 0G, 2A 2PT / TOTAL: 14GP, 1G, 6A, 7PT

Over the weekend we had our fall season playoffs. In a 3 game span, I had 6 points. 2 goals, and 4 assists. We went 3-0, and won the fall season for the 4th time in my career at valor. 4/4 baby!. Im super proud of the boys, and I am extremely pumped headed into our official winter season, as the sky’s the limit!

Ayvin Eidsness
2004 Goalie
Wenatchee u18
This past weekend we were at the CCM world invite in Chicago. The team played really well in pool play going 4-0 and we went all the way to the finals losing in a shootout after 2 overtimes. I went 3-1 on the weekend and had a shutout in the semifinals game against Compuware. I feel like the team is really starting to click. I don’t have stats from the weekend but I will next week.
10GP, 2.34GAA, .923%, 5-3 record
Nick Maronna
2005 Defenseman
Valor Christian Varsity, USHS-CO
This past week we competed in the CPHL Playoffs and are now the 2022 CPHL Champions. During these three games I played very strong on defense and scored the game winning goal in 3v3 OT of the Championship game. And while I’m proud of that, I’m even more proud of our team. We all brought our A game, every player, every shift. For this week, I’m going to continue to work hard during practice and in the weight room to prepare for our CHSSA Winter Season tryouts.
WEEK: 3GP, 1G, 0A, 1 PT / TOTAL: 21 GP, 9G, 13A, 22PT
