Peyton Stevenson is one of three individuals randomly chosen from the hundreds of students attending South this semester for a feature story.

Stevenson is very involved in Parkway South’s hockey team.

“I’m a goalie. I think it’s one of the most fun positions to play. Everyone’s like ‘How did he save that?!’ which is really cool” Stevenson said.

As much fun as Stevenson has in the position, last season he lost playing time due to a major injury.

“Last season I actually had my hamstring completely cut in half by a sharp skate. It ended up requiring surgery and took months to heal fully,” he said.

An injury like that can be career ending.

“I’m just lucky that everything went well and healed right, so now I’m able to play fully again,” Stevenson said.

His first game back was a huge success for him.

“During the game I made a 30-save shutout, which was really exciting since I had been out for so long,” Stevenson said.

He wants to continue his career into college.

“I’m going to Iowa State, trying to play hockey. I’m majoring in Air and Space Engineering, hoping to someday be a pilot or special tactics officer,” he said.
