Christian Beckett '19 Recruiting Profile

My passion for hockey started at a very young age.  I began skating on the pond behind my grandparent's house soon after learning to walk.  Hockey has been a great way to connect with my dad who introduced me to the game.  Hockey is a bond that we have shared since I was four years old.  It quickly became apparent that I loved the game and playing on a team and being part of that atmosphere.  Hockey has taught me how to lead and take charge, as well as, how to play a support role and be a dedicated teammate.  I have learned how do whatever it takes to be a team player even if that means going down and blocking a shot. My high school coach has instilled in me the character taught in Romans 12:1 regarding being a living sacrifice for your teammates on and off the ice.  

My goal for the remaining time in high school is to do everything with excellence.  Academically, I want to graduate with a GPA of 3.5 or higher and do well on my standardized testing.  I want to continue to be a part of building a great hockey program at my school.  I desire to continue to lead our team as a captain and be a witness to those around me.  My aspirations for college is to find a school that has a great business program that would equip me for my career.  I would like to find an institution that challenges me academically but also provides me the opportunity to continue to play the sport that I love.
