Elliott Herbers '18 Recruiting Profile

I am a 6’0, 190 lb power forward from Sherwood Park, Alberta, who graduated in June 2018. I played two years of Midget Prep for the Okanagan Hockey Academy Edmonton in the CSSHL. My biggest achievements in hockey are winning a provincial championship when I played for my hometown Midget 15AAA team, being awarded Most Improved Player two years ago with OHA Midget Prep, and wining most inspirational player last year with OHA Midget Prep. This year (2018-2019) I will be playing with the Janesville Jets in the NAHL who pride themselves on player development and advancement. I bring exceptional leadership to a team, as I lead by example on and off the ice. I look at every practice and game as an opportunity to improve, and challenge my teammates to get better as well, which is why I have been a leader on multiple teams growing up. I am a fast 200 foot player who brings physicality and a very high work ethic. As a versatile right handed forward, I can either play wing and dominate along the wall, or center and excel in the faceoff circle and provide strong puck support. In summary, I am very committed to hockey and my academics, very coachable, and of high character.

Every coach and teacher I have had will attest to my strong moral fibre, work ethic, honesty, and coachability. I have been taught by my family that these attributes are what is important in my development as a young man.

My ultimate goal is to play NCAA division 1 ice hockey, while simultaneously achieving a bachelor's degree in business. While I would consider any location and size of school, one factor I will place in high importance is the strength of the alumni connection. I am excited to participate in a program that is strongly based in school tradition.
