Austin Petersen '22 Recruiting Profile

What makes me stand out, stand out beyond the thousands of other kids that you see that want a chance to play beyond to the next level? I’ve dreamt of playing at the Junior level or better yet college level Hockey and one day the NHL since the day I won my first tournament. I have always been told since the day I stepped foot on the ice that I had a “Natural Ability ” I have a strong understanding of how the game is played from a young age and fundamentals comes easy to me. I’ve always been told I’m a very coachable kid and that I’m easy to work with because I’m willing and susceptible to trying and retrying anything. My coaches always knew when I was young if I was mad (usually when my goalie got messed with)  look out or if they needed an enforcer, they put in me. That changed as I aged and changed teams and coaching styles and organizations.  But each and every Coach and Assistant Coach and Teammate and organizations has molded me into the Man I am today.  I’m the kinda Guy who has learned the Value in,  if your willing to put your time and effort into me I’m willing to put in a 100% for you. I’ve never been a super overly cocky player but I’m confident in my abilities and I know I have a strong game.  I continue to work hard and I’m a quiet kid that doesn’t get caught up in the hype. I wanna play hockey and build a personal empire.  I don’t come from wealth but I’m willing to do the work to get where I want to be.
