Media Credit: Austin Wright Jack Dill has played ice hockey for 10 years. He plans on finishing his two year degree at Vol State.

Jack Dill, a 19-year-old student at Volunteer State Community College, graduated from Mt. Juliet High School in 2008 and is planning to take a full time job with the Music City Star next year.

Dill is undecided on his major, but is sure about one thing, his love of sports. He has played ice hockey for 10 years and currently plays hockey for a state-wide and national league. He spent seven years as forward and three as goal tender.

Before getting into hockey, Dill and his three older brothers used to hold "Royal Rumbles" in their backyard. These rumbles were identical to WWE matches except they took place in a backyard.

Dill was forced to stop these rumbles because it harbored high tensions accompanied with vicious fights on the ice.

Dill admired Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson so much that he will never forget what he said after the 911 attacks, "We, who are truly brave, will never live in fear."

Dill admitted that this was not his life motto just a favorite quote.

Instead he says his life motto is, "If you can't skate with the big dogs, stay off the ice."

Dill's favorite hockey team is the Nashville Predators, but oddly enough his favorite football team is the Indianapolis Colts.

His favorite colors are black and red, because of his favorite basketball player Michael Jordan.

Some of Dill's other favorite things include the movie "The Fast and the Furious," the first one, the band Rev Theory, the Nashville Sounds, and of course Vanderbilt football.

Dill also has an interest in cars and openly stated his dream car would be a black Dodge Ram Sr10 with 24's on it.

Although Dill doesn't plan on coming back next year, he does plan on getting his two year degree at some point then doing, "whatever the hell I want…seriously."
