Hunter Virostek '16 Recruiting Profile

Hunter Wayne Virostek born November 4, 1998  in Calgary, Albert.  One of four children and residing in Turner Valley, Alberta.  

You will find me to be dedicated, disciplined, popular, and focused on achieving my goals. Those goals include growing as a human being, team mate, and student, playing hockey and graduating from NCAA Div 1 with at least one major.  Beyond that, professional hockey at the highest level possible combined with a solid education will provide me with a solid foundation on which to build a fantastic life, career, and legacy.

My rookie season in the AJHL was a success (49 games) and I look forward to an even heavier and more dominant work load in the next two seasons. A championship and all the opportunities in front of our team with a new coach, philosophy, winning and selfless attitude, is on the horizon and I will allow me to bring a winning attitude to my college team and family.
