Michael Kosina '15 Recruiting Profile

My name is Michael Kosina.  I am a Senior at Chaminade High School in Mineola, New York.  I am a right winger and the Captain (which was voted upon by my peers) on the Chaminade Varsity Hockey Team.  I am also a right winger on a travel team, The Long Island Edge.  I have enjoyed every second on both of these teams and love all of my coaches and all of the players.  My priority is my education.  I have learned not only skills on the ice, but also important life lessons.  I am very committed to hockey and have given up other sports and made many other sacrifices in order to play.  My parents have also sacrificed a lot in order for me to play and I am very thankful for that.

Not only have I worked hard off the ice focusing on my education, but also on the ice.  During the season I average being on the ice six out of seven days of the week, this includes about three games per week.  I have grown enormously as a player and have had a great coach who knows the game inside and out.  I fit right into any system and understand all aspects of the game. I have also grown in my skill level by working hard on and off the ice to develop my skill set.  I believe I have much more room to improve my game.  I look forward to developing my skills further.

I hope to continue to develop as a player at the collegiate level.  I am dedicated to not only making myself a better player, but also in contributing to building team skill and chemistry.  I have always been a team leader on and off the ice wherever I have played.  I have always been either a captain or assistant captain on both teams. The main purpose of my game is to do whatever fits my teams needs to make us better.  I look forward to future experiences and many more friendships to come at the collegiate level of hockey.

Thank you for your interest and for taking the time to read this.
