Tripp Clarke '19 Recruiting Profile

Dear Prospective Coach:  

My name is Tripp Clarke, I am a 5'10, 165 lb Ice Hockey Goalie from Upstate New York.  I have been playing hockey since I was five years old, my father taught me to skate, and I have loved it ever since.  I have been working diligently to improve my game and continually set the bar high for myself.  In 2016-17 season I played at the AAA 16U level with the Syracuse Stars as their starting goaltender.  

I have been selected and participated in USA hockey's 14U and 15U,  and 16U State Development camps and I was chosen as an alternate for the 2016 National Development Team.  My goals are to play Division 1 college hockey and I take my academics just as seriously as my athletics.  I have achieved honor roll every semester I have been in high school.  I earned my varsity letter as a freshman, playing on the varsity hockey team and I am a three sport athlete.  I participate in soccer, hockey and baseball.  This spring I have been elected as a captain of my JV baseball team.  

I am interested in pursuing a career in criminal justice, I am drawn to this because I believe in giving back to the community.  I have also completed all of the community service hours needed to graduate from my current high school.  I am a mentor to younger goalies in our club, I am also a baseball umpire and a soccer referee.  I believe in being a strong leader for my community and my team.  As a goaltender my team relies on me to be their anchor and to stay calm and cool in sometimes volatile situations.  

My work ethic is paying off and I will continue to work with my goalie coach and team to reach my goals.  I look forward to speaking with you and learning more about how I would fit into your program.

Thanks for the opportunity!
