Norwich’s Cam Beecy has been an impact player, both on and off the ice for the Cadets (photo: Norwich Athletics).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For Norwich senior defenseman Cam Beecy, being named as a Hockey Humanitarian Award finalist is just surreal.<\/p>\n

But that is the kind of response one might expect from an Air Force ROTC college student who will graduate in May and begin his training as a military nurse in the Sacramento, Calif., area at Travis Air Force Base.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt definitely is a bit surreal,\u201d Beecy said of his nomination. \u201cIt was definitely not expected, and I feel like I have already won just being nominated and being part of something that I love every day. It has been a natural extension of what I love to do as an athlete and what I hope to be doing after I graduate as a nurse in the Air Force. As I have learned through my clinical training, it is not just about helping with the disease state, it is about helping and treating the whole person.<\/p>\n

“With Positive Tracks, I get to focus on the whole person in young children and do things through sport to improve their lives and situations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether it has been captaining the Positive Tracks team in the Travis Roy Foundation annual whiffleball tournament, coaching at youth hockey summer camps or finding time as a head coach for a hockey team made up of 12-year-old players in North Central Vermont, Beecy has been driven to change the trajectory of middle school aged kids\u2019 lives in his home state.<\/p>\n
