For current South Kent students, Gianluca鈥檚 message is clear: your pathway doesn鈥檛 need to look like anyone else鈥檚. The skills developed on the Hillside grit, curiosity, teamwork, and resilience apply far beyond campus, whether in sports, business, the arts, or service.

This past week, South Kent alum Jacob Fowler and the nation鈥檚 top-ranked Boston College Eagles completed an incredible showing at the Hockey East Tournament, going 3-0 and winning the Hockey East Championship. After winning a tightly contested matchup versus the Connecticut Huskies in the Quarterfinals 5-4, Fowler and the Eagles shipped up to TD Garden in Boston and dominated the Semifinals and Finals against UMass Amherst and Boston University respectively.聽

Alfie Jefferis is a stand out student athlete on this Hillside.聽 We are excited to share his perspective on the South Kent experience as he graduates this month.聽 Learn more about Alfie in his talk on our Master Class Series.

Jefferis is the epitome of what a South Kent student embodies and we are proud to have him as an individual who leads by example for his peers both on and off the ice.聽

聽After being a standout goalie for the AAA Hockey team, Alfie will be competing at the U18 World Championship in Poland from April 17-24 as a member of Team Great Britain. Born and raised in Rhoose, Wales, Alfie fell in love with hockey at a young age, as he constantly went to see the Cardiff Devils play with his father. Despite soccer and rugby being popular in his hometown, Alfie Jefferis knew his first love was hockey. Once he started his career, he stumbled upon playing goalie as a skater, volunteering to become his team鈥檚 goalie to fill a vacant spot on the team. Consequently, Alfie took advantage of private sessions through his childhood with close coaches and mentors to improve his game. Because of his hard work, Alfie Jefferis made tremendous strides in his craft, allowing him an opportunity to play in the United States for the New Hampshire Monarchs.

Alfie was recruited to play for the 18U AAA team at South Kent after spending a year with the New Hampshire Monarchs, ready to take his game to another level. From the moment he stepped foot on campus, Alfie instantly gravitated towards the opportunities presented on the Hillside for hockey players and students, especially the close proximity to facilities.

鈥淥nly having to walk a few minutes to the rink and the gym feels like the college treatment, and it鈥檚 really helped me develop quicker than ever. The flexibility of faculty is great as well outside of practice because whenever I struggle with something in class, they are always there to support me at any time, and the relationship is different with them than other places. Being close with them has helped me a lot.鈥�

During his time at South Kent, Alfie has learned more about himself, finding ways to improve his daily schedule. He continues to soak up knowledge gained from coaches and faculty to keep his day-to-day-tasks in check.

鈥淢y productivity has increased quite a bit since coming here. Everything I do here makes me a better person, whether it鈥檚 asking for help in school, willing myself through workouts, or involving myself in the community with Father Klots鈥檚 service trips. Reflecting everyday makes me realize how much I have to appreciate from my experience at South Kent.鈥�

As a person who works vigorously on his mindset, Alfie has grown fond of the teachings from Strength and Conditioning Coach Pat Bonis, instilling ways for students to ground themselves in preparation for obstacles on the ice. He now includes meditation as a part of his everyday routine to make sure he stays in the right frame of mind before stepping between the pipes.

鈥淟earning the benefits of breathing has been great because I now have other ways to improve my game off the ice. My breathing techniques help me visualize making big plays, which has enabled me to grow my confidence.鈥�

18U AAA Hockey head coach Rich Brande has loved the progress Alfie has made during the season, describing him as 鈥渁n outwardly fierce competitor, a great athlete, and the type of kid you want representing your program.鈥� As soon as he stepped foot on campus, he has bought into the doctrines that make so many South Kent hockey players successful.

鈥淭he inspiring community has been a huge factor in my growth as a person. Everyone here is competing to improve their game, but they do it by helping each other, which is something that is keeping me humble before playing on the world stage. If you come to South Kent to play hockey, you鈥檙e going to learn how a team operates on the ice and in everything else you do. I鈥檓 excited to take what I鈥檝e learned into the tournament in Poland.鈥�

Following the Tournament鈥檚 completion on April 24, Alfie will be returning to campus on April 27. For more stories like Alfie’s, visit our News Hub.
