Parker Diaz '22 Recruiting Profile

I played hockey since I was 3 years old, and traveled all over the country and Canada as I got older.  I loved playing , the competitiveness, my teammates and the physicality.   I thought I would always play hockey - until I picked up a lacrosse stick and I never looked back.  I think my time spent playing hockey helped me in my lacrosse career as I see the field very clearly, am a great passer, and love to score.  It also helped my physical game in lacrosse because I realize the importance of contact and defense.

I currently attend the Hackley School, a college prep school.  Last spring, I started on the varsity lacrosse team in 9th grade and had 12 goals and 22 assists and we won the NYSAIS championship.  In addition, I am currently on the varsity basketball team at Hackley.   I play the violin in the chamber orchestra at school, and volunteer at  Abbot House where I work with children dealing with immigration, foster care or adoption issues.  I have maintained a stead A/B+ average in all my classes including taking advanced Spanish and Calculus, 2 higher level classes.  I am scheduled to take the ACT in July.

I play for the Westchester Predators club lacrosse team . This last season we played in the Adrenaline Platinum Cup, NAL, FLG Big X, and NXT  Philly invitational tournaments.  In addition, I  scored in the all star game I was chosen for in the Maryland Lacrosse Showcase, and was MVP in the APex Showcase in October.  I am very optimistic about both of my teams upcoming seasons, and look forward to showcasing my talents.
