Ian Raddatz '19 Recruiting Profile

I aspire to be a forester; I love being in the woods and on an ice rink. I love interacting with others and I am a great leader. I would say that my attitude is the difference between me and other players. I am a positive person and I am one of the hardest workers you will ever know.   Also, I love the game of hockey more than anything and there isn't a second of my life that I don't want to be on the ice.

My work as a Level 2 USA Hockey Official (entering my fifth year) allows me to stay on the ice as much as possible, see the game from a unique perspective, and acquire a high level of respect for fellow officials.  Also, my work as a Laura Stamm Power Skating instructor is rewarding, fun, and educational.  I get to travel and teach young hockey players the fundamentals of skating and share my passion for the skills that are necessary for success in the game, and I get to coach with and learn from high-level, experienced hockey players and instructors.
