Jacob Piros '19 Recruiting Profile

Throughout my life I have always faced challenges whether it being living in a small town where there is little to none hockey presence and commuting forty plus minutes to the rink, starting hockey at a later age, or even my battle in 2018 with cancer.

Nothing more in my life means the world to me more Than hockey. My passion for the game is tremendous. I consider my work ethic second to none. The reason being  is that I just purely love working hard to out-best everyone and get the satisfaction of doing something the right way. This applies to everything from school (where I worked to earn a 4.01 GPA and ranked 18 in my senior Class) and going above and beyond in workouts,  my nutrition, job tasks, and helping out in my community such as being involved in the  National Honor society. I also consider myself a huge team guy  because I know that if I want to reach my goals, I know we as a team have to collectively reach our present ones so that we can all get better. In addition I love bonding with my teammates and making them laugh.

Of course, I love staying after practice and tweaking my game each and everyday so that I can get better and reach my goals. Those goals being to play at the highest level of junior hockey that I can and committing at the highest level of college hockey. Also, in college I would like to pursue mechanical engineering and minor in marketing. However, to do that it takes time, hard work, and discipline in order to get there. I love this challenge and it's what motivates me every day.
