Alex Tarves '26 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing hockey at a AAA level since I was 5, and I recently made the varsity team at St. Mark's as a freshman. I have been trained by some of the best goaltending coaches around such as Brian Robinson at Harvard University and Stop-It Goaltending and Des Christopher at Shattuck-St. Mary's. I recently played for the Boston Advantage in the fall for u15. Academics has always been a top priority for me and that drove the decision to attend St. Mark's for high school.  

My goal is simply to play college hockey regardless of whether it is D1 or D3 and keep playing hockey for as long as I possibly can. I like to watch as much of myself and my peers as possible to pick out weaknesses in my game and strengths in others. I like to mostly focus on speed and positioning, as well as rebound control and post integration. I live by the motto that I can always be better and work as hard as I can to improve myself as a person and my game on the ice. 

I have been described by Neutral Zone as having "a great economy of movement" and "regularly in the right position." They also noted "he [me] still has more room to grow into his frame and we like the athleticism and his ability to cleanly move around his crease" and "he was so calm throughout this game where he was seeing high shot totals that we weren’t sure whether or not he had a pulse."
