Ryan Gade '26 Recruiting Profile

All the way from playing soccer to playing hockey was a big change but it may have been the best change of my life. Winning our state championship as a Squirt really set me off, that was when I realized I wanted to play this sport for the rest of my life. I continued on and my second year of Squirt hockey and I helped my team to another state championship. During these years I learned a tremendous amount about the game, and I continued to learn and feed on the knowledge to this day. 

Since then, I have been on good and bad teams, but I never stopped learning I always strived to make myself the best hockey player I know. Even when I wasn't learning new things I learned morals of sacrifice, dedication, and respect even when losing. My goal in life is to play the sport I love and to study to the best of my ability while I do it. Even from the youngest time I remember I have always strived to be my best from playing on a CSDHL team when I was younger to now playing up on the U18 CSDHL team. Even since I was a Squirt winning a state championship, I never questioned my dedication or motivation and I hope you don't either, I will be the hardest working player on and off the ice you've ever met.
