Connor Cooley '13 Recruiting Profile

I'm a 19 year old, 6'00", and 180 LB defenseman that is looking forward to move onto the next level. I live my life with little to no regrets, am proud of my achievements and confident with my capabilities. Hockey became a huge part of my life when I received my first pair of skates at 4 years old. Since then, my passion for the game has only grown stronger because I am eager to make myself a better player. To help out a team I am on I lead by example and show my team mates what they should be doing in order to be successful. I believe my work ethic, offensive capabilities, and physical play can all contribute to many teams looking for a player like me that fits their interests. If I had my choice, I would definately look for colleges out of state either on the east coast or North West regions near Minnesota. Every time I have traveled to these places for hockey, it seems the game is much more appreciated and loved than here in California. I want to be in a school with a medium to large campus size with students and athletes that want to do the right thing and succeed as well. My desired major would have to relate with design or engineering such as architecture, something along those lines. My goals would simply be to play at the highest level I possibly could play. I want to be the incoming new guy that can help out my team with my skill and hard work. I am also open to NCAA D3 schools who are looking for a solid defenseman. I want to move onto the next level and continue my career with the sport I love at the highest level possible. I attended the AHR Showcase in Chicago over the Easter weekend.  I was offered a tender position with the NA3HL Breezy Point North Stars In late May, 2012 I signed a tender with the NA3HL Breezy Point North Stars. I also was invited to the NAHL Texas Tornados Main Camp. ****This is from the AHR event in Chicago (April 2012)**** Another Scouts Notes: An intelligent puck-moving defenseman with good vision and poise. Never panicked with the puck and he always made good decisions. Type of kid who can slow things down, calm his teammates, and then methodically move the puck up ice.

I will be playing in the NA3HL Top Prospects event in Frisco, Tx from 05-10-13 thru 05-13-13.

I will be playing for the New Jersey Rockets in the Eastern Hockey League for the 2013-2014 season.
