Braden Schmitz '21 Recruiting Profile

My name is Braden Schmitz, I’m a goalie for the Devils Lake Firebirds. I've been in hockey for 14 years. I've enjoyed every second of it. I started to play goalie full time when I was in Peewees, prior to that I was a defenseman. I received MVP my second year in Bantams along with “Player of the Game” numerous times as a varsity player.

During the fall of 2019 I played hockey for Team ND 18U Tier 1. I know I can play at the next level because I’m determined and love the game too much not to give 110% at practice and games.

I have a great work ethic, on and off the ice. I work a full-time job during summer and play softball when I’m not attending goalie camps. I participate in cross fit 4-5 days a week to keep that balance in my regiment.

I know I would be a great supportive player to have on your team.
