Abby Edstrom '19 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to achieve a degree while I continue to enjoy the sport of hockey.  I want to continue to grow as a student, athlete and as a person.  I am willing to consider any and all opportunities and options to play hockey at the collegiate level.   I would be grateful for the opportunity to play college hockey, obtain a degree and make a positive difference on and off the ice. 

I believe in the importance of balancing my academics, athletics and family.  I am coachable, have a great work ethic, and respect my coaches and teammates.  Creating a positive team spirit, encouraging teammates and sharing the passion for the game are important qualities that I bring to the team.

I am currently the starting, varsity goalie.   With hard work, dedication and determination, I earned the starting position in my Freshman year.  As a Sophmore I helped my team qualify for the 2016-17 Mn State High School Girls State Tournament,  stopping 58 of 60 shots during section playoffs.   I was honored to be named to the 2016-17 All-Tournament Team.

My Junior Year I was an Assistant Captain and helped lead my team to a second place finish in our Section Playoffs.  During playoffs I held a 1.57 GAA and a .939 save percentage, including 37 saves in a 1-0, four overtime shutout victory.  It was a great honor to be named to the 2017-18 All-State Honorable Mention Team. 

I enjoy volunteering within my community and mentouring the youth in our hockey program.  I plan to obtain a degree in Physical Therapy so I can further my dedication to making a positive difference in other peoples lives.
