If Caden’s life was a country song, it would be called “Gone Fishin”.
Caden loves to grab his fishing rod and head to the lake. His favorite place to fish is Mille Lacs and like a true Minnesotan, his favorite pursuit is walleye.
When the lake freezes over, he goes ice fishing. When he isn’t playing hockey, that is. Skating since he was 4, Caden is a captain of the varsity hockey team. His pre-game ritual involves eating a salad and then putting on his hockey gear from left to right. What would happen if he started with the right side first, you ask? “I probably wouldn’t be able to skate,” he said.
Caden volunteers for the non-profit Letters of Love, participates in DECA marketing competitions, and works a summer job parking boats. This fall, he will attend Ohio State University to study business.
And any chance he gets, he heads to the lake to fish. Fishing requires patience and persistence. Some days you get a catch, other days you don’t. So you cast your line again and enjoy simple pleasures like a cool breeze or the call of a loon.
In the uncharted waters of life, Caden is off to a great start.
