Nick Maricic of Rancho Cucamonga has already made some fairly unconventional decisions in his 21 years - and seen them pay off with wild success.
As a youth in the mid-1990s, Maricic wasn't alone playing street hockey outside the Epicenter. "The Mighty Ducks" movie franchise was hot and hockey was hip.
He defied convention by sticking with the sport once the film franchise faded. Maricic, a goalie, picked up roller hockey, then ice hockey, then left for Michigan after his sophomore year at Damien High School at age 16 to join the U.S. National Development Team.
