Danny Downey '24 Recruiting Profile

My dream has always been to play college hockey.  I learned to skate when I was 5 years old & haven't stopped since.  My career goal is to study business as I hope to one day become a real estate agent.  

Being on a team means everything to me.  My first coach at the age of 6 used to joke & say, "Danny Downey would give away a kidney for his Team!". I spent my childhood traveling around every weekend from tournament to tournament with my Dad.  He passed away suddenly last year in 2022 & I continue to play & hope I am making him proud.  He was my best coach of all.

My biggest hockey accomplishment was last season (2022-2023) when my Varsity Hockey Team Clarkstown won Sectionals for the first time ever.  We won in double OT against our biggest rival.  

My hockey training has given the ability to play all positions which includes defense, wing & center.

I am a 2-sport athlete.  Hockey is my main focus & I play lacrosse in the spring to stay conditioned.  I am an honor roll student at Clarkstown South.
