Ayden Badrikian '26 Recruiting Profile

My name is Ayden Badrikian and I live in Wilmington, MA. I was born in 2008 and I am currently a junior at Austin Prep (Reading, MA). I have attended Austin Prep since 6th grade and played on the freshman hockey team and continued to play through 7th grade. As an 8th grader I played on the Junior Varsity team. For the past 3 years, I have played on the Varsity team and was part of the starting lineup for the past 2 seasons. In addition to playing for Austin Prep, I played for the U16 tier 1 Boston Advantage Hockey team this past fall. I have also played on the 2008 Islanders Elite Hockey team. 

For the past few years at Austin Prep, I have taken several honors classes to challenge myself. I am also part of a small group of students that are picked for the Green Key Ambassador Program. A Green Key Ambassador hosts shadow days for students, campus tours to all potential students and parents as well as other school activities. I also have students who are accepted to Austin Prep email me questions about the school, daily life, and athletics over the summer.

My goal is to play college hockey. I continuously work hard in order to maximize my skills, speed and strength. I am thankful for my parents who got me to love the game at such a young age. Hockey is my true passion.
