Jacob Furbush '24 Recruiting Profile

I am a defenseman who is defense oriented with the ability to be in the offensive play when appropriate for my AA travel team the Howard Huskies in Columbia, Maryland. I also serve as Captain for the Howard Huskies.  I have been a defenseman and most recently a forward for my high school team The West Virginia Vipers a co-op team that includes players from West Virginia and Pennsylvania. I have been playing in the CBHL most of my hockey career.

 While playing for my high school team, I started as a defenseman as a true freshman on the varsity team and have moved to forward late last season. I can play all three forward positions and both defensive positions and do so routinely. Last summer the Florida Eels invited me to play with their summer team at the Chowder Cup in July (2021) and again this year (2022). Coaches have always complemented me on my ice awareness. I can play either a finesse or physical game.

 I routinely play on local summer tournament teams and have been seeking out other opportunities to advance my hockey skills. I’m dedicated to the sport and always willing to learn.l

 During the summers and regular seasons I assist the high school coaches with the incoming under classmen. I also have my referee’s certificate and officiate 12U but have done middle school tournaments which are 14U.
