Personal Statement

My name is Michael Carden, a Goaltender from Colorado and a Class of '23 Graduate.  I’ve played Ice Hockey for 11 years, participating as a goaltender for 8. I played the 2023/2024 season in the USPHL with the Wisconsin Dells Ducks. I am currently signed with the Mad Hatters for the 2024-2025 season.  Mindset, Dedication, Teamwork, Drive, and Laughter--This is me!  Outside of hockey, I enjoy the outdoors in the great state of Colorado, participating in everything from camping and mountain biking to snowboarding in the winter. Family and school are by far important aspects of my life.  Studying and keeping good grades are something that I abide by, as hockey does not last forever and having a degree is the most important thing for the future thereafter.
