Cole Sheffield '22 Recruiting Profile

My season thus far with the MJHL Dauphin Kings has been nothing short of exciting.  We are now at the halfway point in the season and I cannot wait to continue my growth and efforts as part of this excellent team as we enter 2023.

We have had our ups and downs as a team through the fall but continue to learn and get better as the season progresses. I feel that I have been playing well in trying to give my team a chance to win in every game. The month of October was particularly strong for me, with 5 wins in 6 games, 1 shutout, and a save percentage of 0.967. 

My dedication, combined with my determination and competitive nature, extends to academics where I am equally competitive in obtaining excellent grades to increase college and university opportunities. This makes me an excellent candidate for a Division 1 hockey program in the NCAA, where I intend to pursue studies in sports medicine. 

My current and former coaches would describe me as a role model and leader with an intense level of focus both on and off the ice.  My ongoing development includes an invitation to the London Knights OHL Training Camp (2021), attendance at Eli Wilson Goaltending Camps (2017, 2018, 2021 prospects camp), Elite Hockey Camps at Notre Dame University (2017, 2018, 2019), and Hockey Canada Goaltender Development Program (2018, 2019). In 2019, I was invited to the Axis Identification Camp hosted by Mike Valley and Rick Wamsley, where I was ranked first in my age group. I continue to train the mental side of my game working with Pete Fry several times each week. 

I am confident that my commitment to academics and hockey will allow me to succeed both on and off the ice. My intention is to play out my Junior Hockey eligibility while exploring opportunities to play NCAA D1 hockey.
