JJ Mueller '24 Recruiting Profile

I started hockey at 9 years old, very late start as most would say. I‘ve always been determined to gain knowledge and skill from the game and always looking to get better. When I first started hockey I played house league and learned the game there for a year. I eventually played at the Joliet Jaguars where I moved up every year until i got to the highest level. I increased in skill very fast and by the time i was 13 I played Central States hockey. After 2 seasons with the Chicago Hawks I tried out for Chicago Fury. I’m now playing first line on my AAA team and i am a hard working player. I‘ve always tried to make my way up on every team I have been on. I’ve learned i’m a coachable player and I will do anything my team needs me to do. My strengths are my speed, edges, and hands. I put in a lot of work to improve every day and I’m on the ice around 7-8 times a week. My weaknesses of the game is my Iq, which i’m still raw to the game but have been noticing my iq is increasing at the end of this season, and i’m looking to improve my smarts with the game.

Currently I will be staying at Chicago Fury playing 16u next fall. After AAA my main goal is to continue the game and continue to improve. I would like to go tier 1 juniors or Division 1 but i’m open to any level of play I can get. What I want in the future is the highest level of play with the best education, and I would like to study Sports Medicine.
