Barclay Goodrow '11
Excerpt from Spring 2014 issue of The Link:
Barclay’s hockey adventure started in Aurora at the age of 5, playing Optimist hockey (precursor of Aurora minor hockey), then Tyke hockey for Aurora followed by 2 years with the Aurora Tigers AA team. He decided he wanted to play at the AAA level and played with Richmond Hill when he was 10. Barclay played his final five years of minor hockey with the York Simcoe Express, winning three OMHA championships with the Express, in addition to two won with Aurora.
Hockey was introduced at CDS when Barclay was in Grade 7 and he played for the school team in Grades 8, 9 and 10.
“I have wanted to play in the NHL since I was a little boy and have remained committed to that goal. My teammates, coaches, trainers, have all played a significant role in getting me closer to my goal and I am truly thankful to all of them. My parents have taught me (and my two sisters who graduated from CDS: Martha ’06 and Hilary ’08) to be optimistic and work hard. Setbacks along the way will happen – that’s life. These should not get in the way of achieving what is important. I am focused on the Battalion playoffs now and am, at the end of our season, really excited about starting my pro-hockey career with the Sharks.”

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
