Nolan Musti '22 Recruiting Profile

    I was at a young age when I fell in love with hockey.  I began my athletic journey as a travel soccer goaltender and transitioned to hockey at the age of 10.  Having never skated before and being behind my team mates I dedicated countless hours on and off the ice to catch up to their performance levels. Throughout the years I continue increasing my athletic ability and strengthening my mind and body. Although my first athletic priority is playing as an ice hockey goalie, I continue to play soccer as well as added track to my resume.  I have played hockey for 5 consecutive years, on both successful and struggling teams, supported my teammates by being a 2 time captain with multiple tournament wins and continue to show well rounded stats.  With the support, encouragement and guidance of many coaches, mentors and teammates,  I am committed to do the work it takes to play college hockey. 

    An ice hockey goalie, such as myself, needs to posses quick reflexes, acute positioning, strong endurance and agility, keen puck tracking skills and a positive mindset on the ice. We must also perform well off ice in both skills training and academics.  I believe what makes a great collegiate athlete is showing on ice leadership and goal tending skills in addition to work ethic on and off the ice between training and studying.  As a multi sport athlete I continue to hone my athletic abilities, leadership skills and team player mentality.  I believe would be an asset to your college ice hockey program and will continue to focus on the skills needed to contribute to your team's success.
