Cam Friscia ’05, captain of Choate’s hockey and lacrosse teams, competed for the third straight summer in the Empire Games (NY) for his team, Hudson Valley. He led his team in scoring with two goals and five assists in five games. In an August article in Binghamton’s The Journal News, Cam was hailed not only for his considerable physical gifts and accomplishments but also for the “intangibles” he brings to competition. “Cam brings heart to a team,” says his coach Bob Simmons. “That’s his biggest contribution.”
