Aaron was aware of his exceptional on-ice skills, particularly in enforcing, but he saw hockey as a means to an end rather than his ultimate goal. While studying pre-med at Brown University, a hockey coach suggested that he pursue a professional career. After three years of recovering from extensive injuries, he decided to give it a shot, knowing that going pro wouldn’t be nearly as challenging as what he had already been through. He utilized cinematic mind mapping, a visualization technique, to chart a detailed path toward his objectives.
