Eastin Normand '19 Recruiting Profile

    I have been playing hockey since pre-Novice level.  My love for the game grew through each level of hockey and  through every late night skate on the back yard rink.  All I want is to keep playing hockey. 

    I am a team leader as I lead by example and apply the coach’s game plan.  I am coachable and hard working.  My Conditioning Coach, Ryan Sadoway, described me in this way:  “Eastin is your typical hockey player. He wasn’t taken in any drafts. He [isn’t] a big name, he [is] just a kid who works extremely hard and loves hockey… He is always one of the hardest workers”.

     In Grades 9 and 10 I was on the Principal’s Honour Roll with Great Distinction (Great Distinction is awarded to students with a 90%+ average). I am currently in my first semester of Grade 11 with an average of 93% and on pace towards remaining on this Honour Roll. I am actively involved in my cultural community and work closely with the youth.

    My parents have instilled the importance of developing a career.  By attending a college / university in which I can also play competitive hockey, I will be able to work towards my career while also playing a game I love.  Playing at a high level will also contribute to my career as I can transfer the hockey/team skills developed to my life outside the hockey rink.
