Damien Xiong was born on October 24, 2006. He was born in Maple Ridge, BC but raised in Vancouver. He has been playing hockey for 8 years and began playing with the Vancouver Thunderbirds. He transferred to the North Shore Winter Club where he would play until his Peewee year. What he loves most about hockey is playing at a high level of competition and the friendships that he builds with his teammates. His favourite players are Brayden Point and Sidney Crosby. His favourite team is the Pittsburgh Penguins. He believes in multisports so along with hockey he also plays football and lacrosse and has been playing them just as long as hockey. Damien is excited to be playing with the Golden Panthers for his Bantam year.
