Holley uses love of the game to make up for lost time

Anthony Holley started playing hockey when he was late into his Elementary school years. Most kids his age had already played 4 or 5 years of travel hockey by that time and had honed their skills up and down I75. One thing those kids didn’t have on Holley was a passion for the game. Anthony has used that drive to make himself into the best player he could and a vital part of the success of the Northview Wildcats.

Anthony came to the Cats for his Junior High School days as part of the Junior Cats. Barely able to skate and get up and down the ice he didn’t figure into the plans for the Varsity program. That wasn’t good enough for Anthony and his family. He attended summer camps and was on the ice as much as he possibly could. He also listened to neighborhood friends and former Northview Captains Jason Gurzynski (95’) and Kyle Hymore (09’) to learn what it was like to be a Wildcat.

Not only has Anthony realized his goal of play Varsity, but he has done so since his Sophomore year and is a Captain for this year. His do anything to help the team win mentality has kept him in high esteem with coaches and teammates. Unfortunately earlier this year his sacrifice for the team resulted in a broken hand while blocking a shot. He missed the first half of the season before returning to play at Findlay. This past Thursday he helped lead on senior night, scoring in a win against Southview.

For his Career Anthony has chipped in 6 goals and 6 assist, but more than points it has been his commitment to being a team player that has proven his value. Congratulations Anthony on being a great Wildcat and good luck with the rest of your senior season!
