Cooper Matthews '22 Recruiting Profile

I started playing ice hockey when I was 8 years old after attending a Wrangler’s hockey game and falling in love with the sport.  Every time I step on the ice, I am reminded of just how much I love this sport.  I started looking at college hockey as a possibility for me just before I started high school.  I know that playing college level hockey is an opportunity that can impact the rest of my life.

On the ice, I work hard to compete at the highest level possible.  I am dedicated to improving and when I am not on the ice with my team, I am often training in the gym, shooting pucks or attending private trainings and camps. 

Academically, I work hard to maintain the highest GPA possible.  I currently am enrolled in an advanced program and take honors classes as well as an extra advanced placement class.  I have met with my academic counselor to ensure that the classes I choose are in line with what colleges are looking for. 

I am looking for an academic college to challenge me academically as well as meet my needs for education in computer sciences.  In addition, I would also love to compete at the highest level of hockey possible.  I hope to use my college experiences both on and off the ice to propel me to be a successful adult and make my parents proud.
