The Red Ledger: When did you first start playing hockey?

Carrington Burg: I started playing in 2019.

TRL: What has your experience been like being on the hockey team? Why?

CB: My experience with the hockey team has been really good. I am good friends with everyone on the team and it’s fun to get to play with them.

TRL: What do you hope to accomplish for the rest of your high school career? Why?

CB: I want to move up to varsity and make one of the DSE (Dallas Stars Elite) teams throughout high school. I want to make varsity so I can move up with my friends and keep playing with them. I want to make the DSE team because to get to the next level and continue playing that is my next step.

TRL: Who are some of your biggest supporters in your life? Why?

CB: Some of my biggest supporters are my parents. My dad is someone I look up to a lot and he is the reason I’m even playing. My mom has always been super supportive; she always helps drive me and she always does the most to help me.

TRL: What are your goals for hockey in the future? Why?

CB: My goals are to make varsity, DSE , and eventually play college. I love hockey and I don’t want to stop playing after high school. I hope I can make it to the college level hockey so I can keep playing.

TRL: How do you feel the team will perform this season? Why?

CB: I think we are in a pretty good place to get to the semi finals for sure. We have a couple new players but I think we are balanced out enough to where we will still be able to win. Our team chemistry is really strong this year too so I think that will help a lot.

TRL: What have been some of the best memories you’ve experienced in hockey? Why?

CB: My best memories in hockey are the tournaments that I go to with my teams or just hanging outside of hockey. My favorite memories are when the JV team hangs out or goes to open skates and we all just hangout.
