- 2018 Highlights
Personal Statement
My name is Declan Rooney and I am a 2000 birth year goaltender from Colorado. I just finished my first season of Junior Hockey in the RMJHL (Tier III) and I am looking to move up to Tier II for the next season.
My goal is to play college hockey, and I am currently pursuing Junior Hockey to increase my development opportunities as well as exposure to college teams at the higher levels. I believe I bring a calm, level head to the teams I play on and give the team a chance to win every night. I take pride in my ability to stay calm in high pressure and adverse situations and try to be a leader with my actions rather than being a large vocal contributor. I'm very focused on my skating and positioning to ensure I give myself the best chance to stop the puck, and I am constantly reviewing game film to ensure I do not make the same mistakes repeatedly.
I take my academics very seriously and having the opportunity to continue to study while playing hockey is important to me. I want to compete at the highest level possible while also being able to have an excellent education.
