Sam Faber ice Hockey All Star playing on the World Stage
Sam Faber achieved more than most players only dream of men or women ,playing on empire teams , Elite AAA teams, the US National 22u team, winning a gold medal in china, UNH college all-star top scorer and now playing for a pro women’s team in Boston, let’s take a closer look at this Hockey phenom
What got you started playing hockey?
My dad played hockey all the way through college. I have an older brother Matt who also played and who I wanted to be just like when I was younger. I remember my dad carrying me into New York Islander games when I was younger and that’s when my passion for the game began.
I started playing ice hockey when I was 10 for a boys travel team. I played roller hockey before that, but realized if I wanted a future in the sport, ice hockey would be the way to go.
What teams did you play for?
I started playing for the boy’s travel organization PAL Blue Knights from Squirt all the way through the Bantam levels. I then switched over to girls and traveled up to Westchester to play for the Sound Shore warriors. My junior year in high school I decided it would be best to go to Northwood School in Lake Placid, NY for the remaining two years of high school, so I could get noticed by colleges. After many college visits, I decided UNH was the place I wanted to play my four years.
Give a description of the travel experience? How Far, how did you get your schoolwork done, who takes you to games, and do you stay over night?
Playing travel ice hockey is definitely a big commitment. My family was separated almost every weekend because my older brother Matt was also playing travel hockey. One weekend my mom would be with me and the next weekend my dad would be with me and the other with my brother. Schoolwork was a process, but in order to play I had to keep my grades up. With this being said I did everything I could to get my work done, whether that meant wake up earlier or do it in the car on the way to practice, I figured out a way to get it done.
Tell us about playing in college, did you have tryouts, or get recruited? Is the level higher then your regular tryout team, what were the practices and games like? What is it like living away from home in the dorm?
Playing in college made all the hard work and dedication to the sport of hockey worth it. Representing your school at the division 1 level is a feeling that I had never felt before. The competition was by far the best I had seen at the girl’s level and the speed of the game was so beyond what I could have imagined. Playing college at UNH was the best four years of my life not just because the hockey was great, but because of how close you become to your teammates. We were all there for the same reason and I met some of the best friends in my life because of playing on that team and I wouldn’t trade my experience for anything. We did have try-outs at UNH for anyone who wanted to walk-on, but I was recruited and offered a full-scholarship to play there. Practices were extremely intense and the anticipation for each game was amazing. Being away from home was ok for me because I did the two years away at prep school, but it is definitely an adjustment that just takes time. It is a lot easier when you have a team because you already have a friend base and don’t feel like you are all alone.
You made the national team, how was the experience? What kind of training did you do at camp? What was your daily schedule like? Where did you travel to?
Making the national team was the biggest accomplishment of my life. There is nothing in the world like representing your country in the sport that you have grown to love so much. Putting on that jersey was indescribable and winning the Gold Medal at the World Championships felt like a dream. I could not believe it was really happening to me. At USA camps we had testing, both on-ice and off-ice (gym) testing, to see how we have progressed from the previous camp. After testing, we would have team lifts which were extremely intense. In order to be a part of the USA hockey program you needed to be at your best and they did everything they could to provide the players with the best training they could. With the U.S program I traveled to Canada with the U22 team and Harbin, China for the 2008 World Championships with the women’s national team. This was the most eye-opening experience of my life and by far my biggest hockey accomplishment.
What was the schedule of games and how did it compare to any other team you have been on?
Schedule of games differed on the tournament, but it was similar to the other teams I was on. We had a game at least every other day.
How did you feel not knowing anyone and was it intimidating?
It was definitely intimidating the first few times at the USA hockey camps, but overtime you meet new people and realize everyone is there for the same reason and that’s to compete with the best people in the country to play the sport we all love. I was lucky because my best friend Kacey Bellamy was always in the program too, so it’s not like I didn’t know anyone there.
What is your training, national team, UNH, bluestreak? Give an overview of your equipment, what you like and where and why?
Off-ice training is a necessity if you want to play at a high level of women’s hockey. At UNH we had lifts three times a week, along with quickness and agility work. Over the summer is where you really need to keep your training up because you are not on the ice everyday. Endurance is an important part of hockey, so sprint work along with lifting to keep your strength up is very important. I don’t like getting new equipment. I am comfortable in my shoulder pads from when I was 10 and just do not like breaking in new stuff. Bauer skates and sticks are my personal preference.
Now in Boston you are playing women’s pro…how did you make it? What do they provide for you?
This pro team out of Boston was a dream come true. I had graduated the year before this team was made and was no longer playing. I was still involved in hockey because I was the assistant hockey director at Sportorama in Monsey, NY, but a part of me was missing without playing. I wasn’t ready to give up something I worked so hard for my whole life and then I heard about this new team. I started training again and went to tryouts not quite sure what was going to happen. Realizing I could play again with 3 former teammates and play with girl’s I used to call enemies, but had the upmost respect for was something I just couldn’t pass up. So far the experience has been great and I feel so lucky to be a part of such a great team on and off the ice. The team provides us with a place to play after college, equipment, and all travel is covered.
What are your plans for the future, college, coaching, playing?
I want to stay in this game in some way or another. I try and just live in the moment, but playing again I realized that I want to do whatever I can to hopefully be on the national team again. I am actually coaching right now for the Boston Shamrocks U19 girl’s team. I absolutely love coaching, so after I am done playing I want to continue to give back what I have learned from my experiences to young aspiring players.
What advice can you give to young players so they can be noticed and their training can give them a chance to play at the select and college levels?
My advice would be to believe in yourself. Confidence is such an important part of life and if you believe you can do something and set your mind to it things will work out. Never stop working hard. Talent only get’s you so far, trust me hard work is a necessity to play at the high levels. My last thing would be to listen to the people that care for you, take in people’s opinions and use them to benefit your own game and your own life because it’s only going to make you a stronger
