Marcus Niemi '21 Recruiting Profile

I just finished my senior season,  I was the varsity starter since mid-December of 2018. In my senior season I was first team all conference and honorable mention all state.  I went 9-7 with the shortened season due to covid. I helped guide my team to the sectional final. In my junior season our team played the third most difficult schedule in Wisconsin.  I played in 24 of 26 games and was selected second team all-conference with a 2.52 GAA and a save percentage of .913.  

As a sophomore, I entered the season as the varsity back up goalie until the senior starter got injured during the season, I then took over as the starting goalie. Throughout my high school career, I have been emphasizing skill development on the ice in the summer as much as possible and continue to work all aspects of my game. I believe that with the proper development of my skills, my skill set can translate to the junior and collegiate levels.

One of highlights of my hockey career occurred in 2015-2016, winning the state championship in the WAHA Pee Wee 1A bracket with the Green Bay Bobcats. I played every game in the net in 2015-2016 and posted a 30-8-4 record overall record, including 13 shut-outs.  During the three games of the state tournament I only allowed one goal on 80 shots.

I am looking for a university/team that will help me continue to develop my hockey skills and help me get a quality education for my future after hockey. Since I have played hockey at a high level for a while, I believe you won’t find other players at my position who will study the game more or work harder in practice to improve their skill s than me.  I am looking for a school that has a great hockey program and has academic programs in the field I plan to study.
