Christian Bifano '24 Recruiting Profile

My name is Christian Bifano and I'm a hardworking, team-first ice hockey player both on and off the ice for Cushing Academy. I'm an athlete who appreciates and respects the game of hockey. Hockey has been a major part of my life since I was five years old and my passion for the sport drives me to spend extra time with my coaching staff in an effort to raise and improve my game. Knowing that, at the end of the day, I made a difference and gave it my all can help me to be an example to others and keeps a smile on my face. What I offer to a team is the promise to always work hard, giving 110% every game, all game, regardless of the score, and to never give up. I pride myself on being the first to go to the rink and the last to leave.

In my first year away from home at boarding school, I am seeking to grow into a well-rounded young adult, taking pride in elevating my interests both academically and athletically. I am a believer in myself and knowing that I'm capable of playing ice hockey at the collegiate level only makes me more passionate for the sport I love. I am proud of my accomplishments this year: making honor roll in the classroom and being nominated as an assistant captain on our boys Varsity B team. I am honored by and cherish both the opportunity given to me by the coaching staff and, equally, the trust of my teammates who value my presence and positive attitude.

My collegiate goals are to attend an institution where I am both challenged academically and am able to play hockey at a high level. I consider myself a person who is motivated to excel at everything I do; I constantly strive for excellence. As a student, I am very conscientious about my work and seek out all opportunities to help me succeed. These characteristics carry over and make me the player that I am on the ice. Looking forward to my future collegiate career, I am open-minded as to the size and location of the university, amongst other factors. I desire to find a place that fits me best and will allow me to continue these pursuits.
