2021 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I was born and raised in South Carolina, learning to skate at the age of four. I started playing travel hockey with the Charleston Jr Stingrays at the age of seven. At the age of 12, I was named Assistant Captain of my AA travel team as one of the younger members of the team.
My family moved to New York in August 2020 in order for me to have more opportunities to play the sport that I love, hockey. This past season I played for the 16u TB Cheektowaga Warriors. We won our State Championships and went to National this year. It was a great experience.
This coming season I am looking forward to playing for the American Hockey Academy AAA team. I'm very serious about hockey and my academics. I want to be the best player, teammate, and student that I can be.
In hockey, I am a player who wants to see his team succeed and win. I believe if a team works together, they can accomplish anything. In the off-season, I play lacrosse and work out with physical trainers to help improve my athletic abilities. My dream is to play D1 college hockey. I am a leader and believe that I make a positive impact on the teams that I play for. I will continue to work on both my academics and my athletics in order to accomplish my goals.

- CJ Mielcarek is a long bodied defensemen who has enormous potential. His skating and stick handing abilities greatly complement his size. He Is not afraid to be physical, possesses above average hockey sense, and has the ability be a difference maker across the offensive blue with his heavy shot and individual skill level. I have coached CJ on and off the ice for the last 6 years and can clearly see his commitment level and passion for the game. He is polite, energetic, and self driven, and would be a great asset on any team. -Hunter Bishop
