Travis Baron '25 Recruiting Profile

Dear Recruiters,

I appreciate the opportunity to introduce myself to you and share my passion for hockey and commitment to excellence both on and off the ice. At just 16 years old, I'm a dedicated goaltender, a mentor, volunteer, and a student-athlete with a desire to make a positive impact in collegiate athletics.

Hockey has been my driving force since I first laced up my skates, and as a 7 year old goaltender, with my Dad as my coach. I have embraced the unique challenges and responsibilities that come with guarding the net. My journey has been one of constant growth and learning, fueled by a coachable attitude.

Playing travel AA hockey has provided me with invaluable experiences and opportunities to test my skills against top-tier competition. I take immense pride in my record as a goalie, but I also recognize that success extends beyond individual statistics. It is about the bonds forged with teammates, the lessons learned from victories and defeats, and the continuous pursuit of improvement.

Off the ice, I'm committed to giving back to the sport that has given me so much. As a volunteer, I dedicate time using hockey as a vehicle to inspire and empower young athletes. I also volunteer at the Marine Life Center in Juno Beach. I am particularly passionate about mentoring young goalies, sharing my knowledge and experiences to help them develop both their skills and their character.

My involvement in these activities has instilled in me the values of leadership, compassion, and teamwork—qualities that I believe are essential both on and off the ice. I am grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of others, and I am committed to carrying these principles with me as I pursue my collegiate aspirations.

In addition to my athletic pursuits, I place a strong emphasis on academics, understanding that success in the classroom is just as important as success on the ice. I am dedicated to achieving excellence in both realms, maintaining a balance between my athletic and academic responsibilities.

Thank you for considering me as a potential addition to your program. I am eager to bring my talents, my work ethic, and my passion for hockey to your team, and I am confident that together, we can achieve great things.
