Donovan Carpio

Donovan Carpio is 5 years old, he and his family are stationed in Okinawa, Japan with the United States Navy. Before his family left the states, he started to take interest in hockey and multiple other sports as kids do. Sadly, due to the tropical weather it’s not a sport that is even played. Nonetheless our son Donovan had a good idea to use his baby brothers diaper boxes as goalie boxes and with my help we made hockey sticks out of pvc pipe, cardboard and tape. He’s constantly tries to stay awake long enough or wake up early enough to catch the games live but we cannot due to the time difference. He’s a great athlete and I’m excited to see how far he can go.
