Ethan Hoover '24 Recruiting Profile

I decided to play 18u AAA again to align myself an opportunity for Tier 2. I accomplished this goal during summer of 2025, made all stars and only had to play one game based on my performance at main camp and signed a contract. I participated in only 1 main camp even though I was invited to 5 others. I am very excited for the next journey and I believe I will be able to compete for a Division 1 team in the future.. I'm a strong candidate because I have continued to show strong improvement each year by focusing on the feedback of the coaches at the end of each year. I encourage my teammates to do their best by talking with them and leading by example. I am a 2 way player because I played forward for 7 years and shifted over to defense,  joinIng the rush at the right time without hurting my team reflects my hockey IQ, I have been told my skating skills is one of my assets. Also,, I am a reliable player, playing over 65 games per season the last 2 years. 

I have a strong catholic school education, reflecting my focus on school I have not missed headmaster list or honor roll in my 2 years in Boston. In North Carolina, my freshman year, I ranked 5th out of 560 students.  I have been training since I was 11 at a gym for speed, agility and weights to continue to improve my performance on the ice.   

Because of my skating and puck handling, I have been the quarterback on PP or right wing based on my vision and IQ.

Mental toughness has improved through out the years, I am a quick learner and coaches rely on me on the ice to establish plays. 

One would not be taking a risk, once you see my play. For this summer I will dedicate myself to get stronger, put on weight by working with Yea nutritionist, Joshua  and improve my techniques on the blue line by learning from ex NHL defenders in the summer of 2025
