Mary Deyell '17 Recruiting Profile

I am a very hard worker. If I sense my skill lacking, I will work as hard as I can on my own time. I have a strong work ethic and conside myself to be very coachable. I listen to directions and am a leader, not a follower. I lead by example, and try to set the bar high. I have over a 4.0 GPA, and work just as hard on my academics as with hockey. I have had straight A's since middle school, even with taking strenuous classes along with partaking in a variety of sports and extra curricular activities. I play with my heart. I'm not a show off, I believe a great assist is better than a goal. I like to see my team mates succeed as well. I am determined on and off the ice!

I average about 2-3 points a game, and give over 110% with every shift I take. I am out there fighting for my team, and for myself. I never give up nor hang my head after a mistake. I keep fighting to the end. I believe that every person makes mistakes, which provides us with a lesson in itself. Never would I ever yell at or blame a teammate during a game, for we are a team.

I have taken over 9 years of karate which has taught me valuable life morals. I have learned the true meaning of honesty, integrity, and perseverance. I have been able to apply those three words to everything I do.

I play two other sports besides hockey including soccer, and softball. I enjoy playing sports and staying as active as possible. Hockey, however, is something that has brought me so much joy, and pleasure. I get into the game and enjoy every second that I play. I am constantly trying different moves, and am working to improve my shot. I go outside just about everyday, and take shots in my driveway. I am more than willing to commit myself to hockey.
