Daniel Raskin '25 Recruiting Profile

                                                         Personal Statement.

 Hi,

I am Daniel Raskin and I am from Chicago, Illinois .  First and foremost, education is an important factor that i take into account. I want to go to a college that will prepare me for success in life.  In addition, I would really like  to play college hockey because it would be an awesome experience, and it would better me as a hockey player and as a person .  I believe that I will have a positive impact on the institution that I attend, both as a student and a player. 

As a student, I have many strengths.  I always make sure my assignments are  completed on time.  I work hard to get good grades and succeed as a student.  I am certain that I will do the same in college.  

As a person and player, I am someone who can be a leader on the team and I am someone who will pick the team up if everyone has their heads down. The game is not  over until the clock hits zero, no matter the score.  I always give it my all.  I have great ice vision and I understand the game very well.  I can make plays when needed and help win games.  One of my strongest qualities is my skating ability.  I am a very agile player and, as a defenseman, I think it is great to be able to do that. In addition,  I am a very offensive minded defenseman and when I have the chance I skate it up and make something happen.

Finally, I will always give 200% on the ice no matter what. Off the ice,  I am no different,  I am always working to improve and giving it 200%. It could be in the gym or at home or if i'm shooting and stickhandling -  I am always working hard to achieve my goals.  Speaking of goals, my main goal is to attend a good college / university where I can prepare myself for adulthood and play hockey at the highest level possible.

Thank you.

Daniel Raskin
