Personal Statement
Hello, I’m Grayson Podey. I am interested in playing Junior, NCAA or ACHA hockey. I have been playing hockey since 2013. I’ve played the past two split seasons with the Tier II Casco Bay Mariners. We were State Champions in fall 2022 and attended the U16 National Championships in Buffalo NY in spring 2023; getting knocked out in the quarter finals. This is my fourth year playing varsity hockey with the Messalonskee Eagles, Messalonskee High School, Oakland, ME. In 2023 we won the Class B Regional Championship and were the runners up for the State Championship, losing by just one goal. This year the Messalonskee Eagles are once again leading the Class B North league. AS a senior this year - I am tied for 8th place for all Maine Boys hockey Classes A and B combined for points (10), and the only D in that group. I am tied for 6th place for Class B points (10) and third in points for assists (7) in the same class (12/31/23). I have also played high school lacrosse and soccer (JV) and golf and tennis (JV & V). Academically, I am ranked 6th overall in my graduating class based on my GPA. I have taken the following Advanced Placement (AP) classes: US History, Literature, and Principles of Computer Science, and I am currently taking AP Statistics, Computer Science A and Language and Composition. I am interested in majoring in Computer Science in college with a minor in music (jazz or concert).
