Michael Miglietta '17 Recruiting Profile

The meaning of hockey is different for everyone but for me it is something that I keep close to my heart. I am a hard working individual who brings my work ethic to the ice, weight-room and classroom. The reason for this extreme dedication is simply my great love for the game and to be on the ice against an opponent, driving to achieve that next level of hockey, or if it is on a test that challenges me to do better or to learn new concepts in the classroom.  Furthermore, within my schooling I have a 90 percent average and do well in each of my classes.  I take great pride in mentoring my fellow classmates, and to lead by example by my participation in class.  The reason why I do well in school is because within my family I am aware of how important education is and because of this I want to reach my full potential. Within hockey, my coaches have always wanted me to take on a leadership role both on and off the ice, as well as, I have always received comments from my coaches complimenting me on my work ethic and coach ability. In addition, my work outs off the ice consist of four week cycles that alternates exercises (mostly those that work on strength and power), as well as, before and after each exercise I work on my endurance, core, agility, and flexibility. I believe that the NCAA is an excellent fit for myself because it will allow me to compete at the highest levels of hockey, as well as, allowing me to receive an excellent education to prepare for my future.What differentiates me from the rest of the goalies out there is my compete level; no matter how hard you push me I will always give my hundred and ten percent effort.  This inner drive is the source of my speed, reaction time, and work ethic both on and off of the ice. I look forward to discussing your NCAA program as well as being an integral part of both your hockey and academic programs.
