Personal Statement
DOB: 7/28/2002
Position: Defense/Wing/Center
Shoots: Right
Completing my 3rd year as a Juniors hockey player, with 2 more years of eligibility left.
2018-2019 season played right wing with the Hudson Havoc (USPHL) - 29 games, 2 goals, 6 assists
2019-2020 season played right defense with Willmar Warhawks (NA3HL) - 36 games, 1 goal, 11 assists
2020-2021 season playing primarily defense with the Minnesota Blue Ox (USPHL) but I also jump into Center and Wing positions whenever needed. 37 games to date, 5 goals, 8 assists
I am a strong stay at home defenseman who is a smooth skater, likes to be physical and help my offensive line partners score. My coach would also say I'm very versatile as he can plug me in wherever I'm needed. I can easily switch over to forward positions - often in the same game. I possess excellent hockey sense, hands, maturity and energy that coaches look for in players.
Academically I did well in high school, and enjoyed research, science, math and physical education. I had to apply myself much more in classes with a lot of reading and writing assignments. I am very inquisitive, with a high "need to know", and I am high energy. I was honored to be chosen as class valedictorian.
I am looking to attend college in Fall 2023 and play hockey on a competitive team with strong core values. Team culture and cohesiveness is very important to me when considering hockey teams to join.
In addition to hockey, I enjoy playing guitar, fishing, golfing, kayaking, basketball and have mastered riding a 6 foot "giraffe" unicycle.
I thank you for any consideration, and look forward to speaking with you about how I can best add value to your program.
