Julie Salvaggio '20 Recruiting Profile

My love of hockey started at age 4 when I played ice hockey with the boys on Northeast Elite in Walpole, MA and Norwood ,MA Youth Hockey Teams. I then also played for Walpole Rebels/Express Hockey. I played year round for two teams each year. In 5th grade I started playing field hockey for Norwood. I remember scoring the first goal of the season on a team of 5th-8th graders. In 6th grade I started playing for Extreme Field Hockey Club year round. In 7th grade I made the U16 Elite team and in 8th grade I made the U19 Elite Team.  I also have played for Northeast Elite Field Hockey Club.

Growing up I played and excelled in many sports including swim team, tennis, track, soccer,basketball, skiing,fencing,ice hockey, field hockey, lacrosse, baseball, gymnastics and golf. I love field hockey the most and have concentrated my time and energy playing. I would like to play field hockey at the collegiate level. What motivates me is contributing as a team player. I excel in school academics taking all honor and AP level classes. I contribute and volunteer in my community and participate in high school activities. I work during the summer as a Lifeguard for Norwood Recreation and year around at Rock-On Adventure teaching rock climbing skills and leading Birthday Parties for youth and teens.
