Summary
Daniel De Ponte, now enrolled at George Brown College in the Construction Trades Techniques program, hopes to work in the electrical trade one day. Graduating from Father John Redmond Catholic Secondary School, Daniel has been an outstanding goaltender for various rep hockey teams. He previously played for the Etobicoke Bulldogs hockey team, also as a goaltender. As much time as Daniel puts into playing hockey, he dedicates an equal amount of time to his school studies. In grade 11, he received the Smodis-Martinez Award for Community Service. In grade 12, he received the Christian Athlete Award and the Father Fogarty Award from the Catholic Education Foundation of Ontario for being the Catholic Student of the Year for Father John Redmond CSS. No longer playing any competitive sports, Daniel is focusing primarily on his studies.
