Timothy McManus '26 Recruiting Profile

Hockey, lacrosse, and football are the three sports I play. Hockey is my favorite, and I hope to play it in college. My father got me into hockey when I was four, and I joined a team when I was five. Since then, I have made many great friends and mentors through hockey. I have played at the elite level since mites and reached the E9 championship three times with two different teams in eight years. My U16 team also competed in the state championship last season. The secret to our success was the strong bond and the mutual motivation among our teammates and coaches. I have also been on teams that lacked that connection and performed poorly. I value the relationships I have built through hockey, and I always prioritize the team's goals over my own. I have seen the results of this approach, and I trust it works.

I have worked hard to improve my game and become the best player I can be. My parents have supported me all the way and helped me attend many camps and clinics where I learned from top coaches and players. I have a strong work ethic, a competitive spirit, and a team-oriented attitude. I have also balanced my hockey commitments with my academic responsibilities. I want to play hockey at a college that values both athletics and academics, and that will challenge me to grow as a player and a person. I hope to use my education and hockey experience to pursue a career in the sports industry. I have the skills, the character, and the potential to be a valuable asset and leader to your program and school. I am eager to learn more about your program from you and your coaching staff and, hopefully, contribute to your program's success soon.
