Jack Russin-Morgan, an exceptional 8^th grader at Fairgrounds Middle School, has been named Nashua PAL’s 2024 Street Hockey Player of the Year. Jack’s athletic talent, combined with his leadership on the court, set him apart this season. Playing both forward and defense, Jack was a key player for his team.

According to his PAL Street Hockey Coach, Officer Ben Stusse, “Jack is a demonstrated leader, and I quickly began counting on him as a co-coach for his team. He inspired his teammates: If another kid was looking tired, Jack would go talk to him and encourage him to keep going. His fantastic attitude led his team all the way to the championship!”

Stusse’s comments were echoed by Jack’s coaches from New England Stars and NYSL (Nashua Youth Soccer League) – Jack is the kind of player every coach dreams of having on their team. He arrives at the rink with a smile and an unmatched enthusiasm for the game. Jack consistently puts his team first, works hard, and listens attentively to feedback, showing a maturity beyond his years. His sportsmanship is evident both on and off the ice, and he’s known for stepping up to encourage his teammates and help build them back up after any mistakes. His former coaches praise him for his leadership, positive attitude, and unwavering effort. Coach Sean, New England Stars, said it best: “Jack always holds himself to a high standard on the ice but never forgets to put his teammates and friends first. Jack exemplifies every quality you’d expect in a young man receiving this award.”

A multi-sport athlete, Jack also plays soccer and works part-time as a referee for NYSL. His interests include camping, gaming, rollerblading, going to the gym, and spending time with friends and family.

With his leadership skills, sportsmanship, and passion for the game, Jack is truly deserving of this recognition. Congratulations, Jack, on being named Nashua PAL’s 2024 Street Hockey Player of the Year!
