Maxwell Miotke '18 Recruiting Profile

For as long as I can remember I have always been a competitive, motivated person, inspired by my passions and goals to perform at my absolute best. My dedication and desire to push myself has driven my competitive edge, whether it’s on the ice, in the classroom, or at home playing a friendly game with my family. At school, my grades reflect my work ethic, standing tall in the upper percentile of my class. I’ve met so many people who believe that doing the minimum to get by is good enough … it’s these people that have only inspired me to stay focused and work harder. My parents have always stressed that hard work and determination will give you the ability to achieve anything, and it’s advice like this that I have carried with me all my life.

My love for hockey is unlike any other and I never want to stop playing the game. I started to skate when I was three years old and have never looked back. I’ve developed not just a love, but a passion for hockey and always strive to do better, develop my skills, and look for new ways to challenge myself. I’ve played at high levels all throughout my life, and although I was never the biggest player on the ice, I have always played with the biggest heart. My goal is to take my heart and talents, strengthen them, and continue reaching for the next level, which is why I aspire to be a division one college hockey athlete and am willing to do whatever it takes.
