Personal Statement
My Hockey Resume can be found at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6f5UDqoDtlkREFMR25FX1lueDQ/edit?usp=sharing
I have been playing hockey since I was five years old, and my love and passion for the game continues to motivate me to become a better player. I want that same desire to cultivate my opportunities to continue to play in college. I believe working hard both on and off the ice will provide me that opportunity, as well as the chance to enhance a college program. I will do whatever it takes and I will provide leadership through my actions, not just my words.
While playing showcase tournaments this summer, and playing with my current split season team, I got a taste of what it would be like playing with a team of gifted players, and the boyhood like enjoyment it brings. Playing with 20 others like me will not only make me a better player, but I too will make my teammates better players.
During my school season and as a defenseman, my goal is to get 40 points after getting 28 last season. My team goal is to get our team to the late rounds of the playoffs.
While playing hockey is my athletic goal, I will stay "grounded" and also focus on my academics building my future life which will hopefully include hockey.
