Owen Yancey '20 Recruiting Profile

I first started playing hockey around 4 years old. As a young developing player, I always gravitated towards protecting the net. After playing my first game as a goalie, I knew the position would forever be part of my life.

Academically, my goal is to find a college where I can pursue a major that will position me well for medical school, as well as allow me to grow athletically.  I work hard to maintain honor level grades while maintaining a busy travel schedule athletically. 

 Athletically, my goal is to play at the highest level possible.  As I have grown and developed as a youth, I have always played the highest tier of hockey.  Other sports have also helped me develop athletically including soccer, snow boarding and taekwondo.  A recent highlight of my career was leading my high school team to an undefeated championship season and being named first team all division goalie. 

 I believe my athleticism, puck tracking and perseverance provide me the talent and skills to compete at the college level. I pride myself on my strong character and work-ethic as well as supporting my team and teammates no matter the situation.  These characteristics will allow me to be successful both academically and athletic in your program.
