Quinn Gavin-White '23 Recruiting Profile

https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/25732/quinn-gavin-white

I am no different than anyone else wanting to play in the NCAA levels, that is trying to get there. I have the academics, I have the skill sets as well. 

I am good candidate mainly because I have had to work at every level I have played and nothing was ever promised or given to me .

In my draft year for the OHL I told  too small to slow , so I decided no one was going to tell me I wasn’t good enough as a player unfortunately I was small and not strong.

I decided once  I grew and when I could I would build the strength when it mattered and since that was two yrs ago, that is what I have been doing .

As a 16 yr old at 5’9 and 155 lbs I decided to challenge myself against 17-20 yr olds in the Nojhl. I struggled in the strength part of the game but continued working out and working hard at practise.

My game had improved and now I had to prove I could play and produce , so at 17yrs old I decided to play my last year of Midget u18AAA with Elgin Middlesex Canucks and it’s here where I proved to myself and others that I had improved my complete  game and was a point per game player and a 200 ft player who could play in every situation.

This season I have been fortunate to be in the same role as a top 6 forward playing in all situations in Jr B for the St Thomas Stars.

At this point I would think I have proven no road will block my determination, no league will change my work ethic and ability to play the next level.

I have grown as a person / player and did this while maintaining an 80% average for grade 12. 

I look forward to the team who is willing to give me an opportunity to continue my growth in hockey and education.
