Dustin Truex '17 Recruiting Profile

I am a very hard working kid. I don't give up on anything, I try my hardest wether its on the ice or in school. I plan to study sports medicine and fitness in college because I have a passion for learning about health and being in top physical condition. From the Hockey side of things, I can adapt easily to any coaching style. My goal is to play College Hockey preferably DI but will play DIII if DI doesn't work out.  My speed and acceleration is a big strength of mine. My ice awareness and the ability to know where to put the puck, whether it’s a pass or a shot. I am a team player and will block shots, take a hit to make a play,  and back check.  I enjoy the physical part of the game and never shy away from contact. I like to be a leader and lead by example. I understand what it takes to get to the next level and how much work goes into getting there. For the past three summers I have worked two different jobs so I can play hockey. I am currently working at a grocery store so I can continue to play hockey. I don't take anything for granted.  I realize how fortunate I am to have the opportunities in front of me and intend to work as hard as possible to make the most of them.
