Kendal Newberry '18 Recruiting Profile

My name is Kendal Newberry.  I have been playing goalie for 10+ years. I graduated in the year 2017, 8 months earlier then I was scheduled to and have been working hard to maintain my 3.0 GPA and bringing my ACT above a 23.  I will be looking for a school that I can continue with my passion for the sport of Ice Hockey while attending.  I am 5'6'', weight of 130lbs, and a competitive fitness athlete which packs me with plenty of strength and power.  I finished my Junior year playing on a first year Tier I U19 team and 2 different Varsity HS teams. I have played on both new teams and first year Tier 1 programs over the last few years, and I have consistently averaged over 55 shots a game. I have repeatedly seen the players and Goalies leave these teams due to the pressure.  I however do not quit on my teams and have used these opportunities to better my game and leadership skills by working harder.  I found that any player can play on a strong team,  but it takes a stronger player to play on a weaker team and not give up.  I am that stronger player both mentally and physically that never gives up.  I developed my game well over any of the other Goalies that I have watched or played at this level.  After playing against some of the top recruits in the nation, I have found that not only can I match their skill level but in most cases I can beat them one on one.
