Jude Large, a freshman at Abington Senior High School, was recently featured as a PHL17 Student Athlete of the Week.

According to PHL17, Jude has been playing hockey since he learned to walk. These days, he’s on the ice practicing his game six days a week and plans to continue his hockey career at Boston College.

“The feeling of being on the ice is unmatched,” Jude said. “It’s an escape. It’s not reality.”
