Samuel Houston '25 Recruiting Profile

Hello, my name is Sam Houston. My goal is to play college hockey while also working for my bachelors degree. An alumni to my high school wrote a letter of recommendation for me and he said the one word that describes me is GRIT.  I like to think so too.  My whole young life has been about working harder then anyone else to achieve my goals.  Working longer, working tougher, and working smarter means I know that there is no short cut to success.  I know that I am the key to my success.  Every hockey coach I have had will confirm my strong work ethic.  It is my driving force in life. On the ice I will be the one grinding in the corners to get the puck, winning battles and back checking hard. My other greatest skill I have is my speed. Im always the fastest player on the ice and won't let anyone else beat me. I use my speed to get around defenders, forecheck hard, and back check even harder. Not only am I a hard worker in hockey, but I'm also a hard worker in school. I am a straight "A" student who's a leader and a role model in class. In me, you will have someone who is dependable with high integrity, high academic performance and high devotion to athletics and academics. I hope my life is spent in the service of others and our world.  I want to be that player you put out on the ice trusting I'll get that gwg. I want to be that student who the school trusts and refers others to.  Thank you.
