Personal Statement
My name is Brendan Reetz and I am a 5' 9 Forward/Defenseman. I would make a good candidate for a team because I can adapt well to change and can play wherever I am needed. I have been a forward the majority of my career, but I have also played defense at the high AA and AAA levels as well. Right now, I am currently playing Defense for Shady Side Academy who plays in the MPHL league. Last year I played right wing and center for SSA. I am a team player and work well with others on and off the ice. I have been named Captain on a few of my prior teams. I would like to play college hockey and hopefully earn a scholarship for my academics and/or my hockey skills. In school, I have always maintained A's and high B's in my classes, and coming to Shady Side Academy, a school known to be more challenging, was not an issue. I have been playing hockey since the mite level and really love the sport. I have been told by multiple coaches that I have a high hockey IQ because I can see the play in my head before it happens. I enjoy passing and setting up a play as much as scoring a goal. I like to stay active and have played baseball, soccer and lacrosse over the years. I am a hard worker and enjoy a challenge. I am very excited about my future and hoping to play hockey for years to come.
