Andrew Polidore '23 Recruiting Profile

My name is Andrew Polidore . I am fourteen years old and I am currently playing for the Sno-King Jr Thunderbirds 16u AAA. I have my goals set straight regarding hockey and my academics.  I want to play for a Junior team and from there work towards making my way to the NHL.  I am not completely absorbed by my hockey career, however,  my academics are a bit different from other kids.  I have completed extra work over this pandemic, so I will be graduating early.  My ongoing academic interests are Biochemistry and Bio-engineering.  I am very invested in pursuing my hockey dream of going all the way and becoming an NHL player.  I have played hockey all around the world, and have gone to many camps in foreign counties, such as the UAE, Czech Republic, China, Germany, and Canada.  I choose to travel so that I can learn skills that aren't necessarily taught in America.   One of my most recognizable strengths is my speed;  but I am also very aggressive with one on ones, a great passer, and good Ice awareness.  My time on puck is excellent.  Nevertheless, I want to develop my stick handling while I'm skating, and my shot accuracy.  I am determined to make it to the NHL  I just need dedicated coaching support to help me get there.
