Personal Statement
Ice hockey has been a part of my life since I was six years old. From the moment I learned how to "hockey stop" I was hooked. After many seasons and amazing opportunities, I started to believe I could play at a high level. I am extremely motivated to play at the college and junior level. I know this level of hockey is a one time opportunity I'm willing to work hard for.
My teachers, coaches and parents say I have a strong positive character quality that leads by example. I have great work ethic and I am very coachable on and off the ice. I push myself in the classroom and balance the hectic schedule of travel for hockey and school work well.
I hope to attend a college where I can improve and challenge myself in the classroom and on the ice. I am open to all options and want to find the best match for me to develop my skills to the highest level of competition. I have great family support and I am excited about this process and the opportunities ahead of me.
Thanks for taking the time to get to know me better,
Jake Harshman
