Cooper Bacon '26 Recruiting Profile

I would like to play juniors and play NCAA hockey in college. I am athletic, smart, and have a good work ethic.

Growing up, I played all sorts of sports. Soccer, baseball, basketball, golf, bowling, track, tennis, and hockey. I have ended up narrowing down to 2 sports that I play in high school: varsity tennis and both varsity and AAA hockey. During the hockey season, I practice 3 or 4 times a week, work out 4 or 5 days a week, and play in multiple games almost every week. Towards spring and summer time, I attend lots of private lessons, college-level practices, and other ice sessions like stick and pucks and drop-in games. I also maintain my 4 or 5 days or working out, with tennis lessons, both tennis and hockey camps, and a job.

Throughout my school career, I have often had very good grades and test scores. I have only had 2 B's, coming in elementary and middle school. My high school career has gone similarly. My lowest grades were 2 A-'s, one in freshman year Art, and the other in sophomore year English Honors. Freshman year, I received college credits for my score on the AP World History test. This year, my junior year, I am taking 5 Dual Credit or AP classes, despite having signed up for 6. I was accepted in the National Honors Society and Angola University, an Early College Program at my school. I am on pace to graduate with 65 college credits and an Associate's Degree in General Studies from Ivy Tech Community College.
