Ben Darooge, a hockey player and an avid nelk watcher, is one of the funniest guys you will ever meet. If you’re feeling sad, he’s there to make you happy.  If you are upset, he’s there to make you laugh.  He loves BabySantana and Cochise, but also really enjoys any music that he can dance swiftly to.  He plays hockey for the EGR men’s varsity team, and has dedicated a lot of his time into it over the course of his life, especially in the last 4-5 years.  Not just on the ice, though, but in the classroom he does very well.  While he’s no genius, he gets his work done and always puts in the effort that he would consider to be maximum.  What really separates him from everyone else is that he knows how to make you laugh, cry, freak out, or happy at will as he is what many would call an “all-around” type of guy.  He loves journalism and all that goes into it; he loves letting his passions and ideas run wild in the articles he writes!  Something his friend once said to him that really resonates with him, and he always quotes, is “The coder doesn’t make the code, the code makes the coder.”
