Sean Mohr '25 Recruiting Profile

Some say that athletes are born.  Others say that with challenging work and dedication, one can grow into an outstanding athlete. For me, my experiences and character ring true to both. I came home one day and asked my parents if I could play hockey.  I had never been on ice skates nor stepped foot into an ice rink at the time.  My parents signed me up for a learn to skate program and the rest is history.  At five years old, I was selected to participate in my first 'travel' cross ice mini mite hockey program. Here stood number 14 of the Westchester Vipers.  After moving up the age brackets, I took a liking to playing as a defenseman.  I played this position under several different coaches with the Westchester Vipers.  Upon my transition to Peewee hockey, I decided I needed an unfamiliar perspective of the game as well as a new coaching style.  I made a transition to Mamaroneck Tigers AA Hockey team.  Here, I was led by my coach to learn the game as a forward.  As first I was mad.  I wanted nothing to do with the game in this position.  But after three years of playing with this organization, I understood how much more I was able to bring to my game.  Again, growing and furthering a need for more perspectives, I transitioned to Connecticut Junior Rangers AAA Hockey club.   Here I was able to further develop as a defenseman in the bantam division.  Within this division, coaches have led me to develop checking techniques as well as further my game.   

As I have risen to better myself on the ice, I have also done so with my academics.  Throughout elementary school, ideas and concepts did not always come easy.  I had to work at mastering difficult concepts.  I had to study harder to earn the grades that I needed.  Upon entering middle school, I was selected for an advanced class in math.  After seeing my capabilities within this class, I knew that I wanted to further my academics within this type of environment.  Upon entering high school, I already earned two high school regents' credits and acceptance into three honors level classes.  

The challenges that I faced through my hockey career and my academic advancement have built the person I am today.  Things do not come easy but with hard work, consistent effort daily, a positive outlook on each new challenge faced, and the drive to work towards my goals in the future are what is needed.  I see myself attending a four-year college.  I would love to continue my growth as a hockey player at the collegiate level.  Seeing myself as a future referee and coach is the direction I see myself headed.   

I feel as though my outstanding academics, my true character, and the experience gained thus make me an excellent candidate to play at the collegiate level.
