Personal Statement

I consider myself a rink rat, and I feel that I am driven to improve my skills each, and every time I step on the ice. Some of my most important traits are the vision to read plays developing quickly, physicality, perseverance, communication on the ice, willingness to sacrifice my body to block shots, work ethic that is second to none, as well as a willingness to go to the corners no matter the size of the opponent.  I have a passion to get better, and play at the highest level possible in order to help my team and teammates achieve our goals.  I thrive against better competition, and I am able to elevate my game under extreme conditions.  I have a love for the game, and my goal is to compete at the very highest levels of college hockey.  My family has sacrificed so much that I want to earn a scholarship to show how much I appreciate all of the years of their support.
