Early life
Kingsmill was born on March 3, 2000, in Smithers, British Columbia, Canada.[1] Although he was born able-bodied, he lost his right leg below the knee in a lawnmower accident when he was a toddler. Kingsmill used a prosthetic leg growing up, which allowed him to play stand-up minor hockey in 2013, 2014, and 2015.[2] Beyond ice hockey, Kingsmill also participated in motocross racing and finished in the top five at the Pine Valley Motocross Association race in 2014.[3] During the 2015–16 season, Kingsmill was one of 120 prospects invited to participate at the Cariboo Cougars Under-18 AAA club's three-day evaluation camp.[4]
Career
As a result of his tryout for the Cariboo Cougars Under-18 AAA club, Kingsmill was invited to Hockey Canada's NextGen Prospects Camp in 2016.[1] During the NextGen Prospects Camp, Kingsmill tried sledge hockey for the first time as he "never really had the opportunity being from a really small town."[5] Within the year, Kingsmill moved in with a Calgary billet family so he could join the Hockey Canada western training hub.[6] While continuing his sledge hockey training, he enrolled at Mount Royal University to complete his Bachelor of Health and Physical Education with a focus on athletic therapy.[7] As a student, he worked with the National Hockey League's Calgary Flames during their pre-season testing.[8]
Kingsmill made his international sledge hockey debut with Hockey Canada at the 2021 World Para Ice Hockey Championships. He helped Team Canada win a silver medal after losing in the gold medal game to the United States sledge hockey team.[9] Following the loss, Kingsmill was named to the Canadian Paralympic team in September 2021 and he shared goaltending duties with teammate Dominic Larocque throughout the tournament.[10] After meeting the United States again in the gold medal round, Kingsmill and his team earned a silver medal for the second time.[11]
