Brandon Price '16 Recruiting Profile
Video
2015 HighlightsPersonal Statement
My name is Brandon Price. I am a Senior at Marist School in Atlanta Georgia. I am left handed, 6'0" tall and weigh 170 pounds.
I am a non-traditional Ice Hockey player in that I did not grow up playing ice hockey or even skating. I was a top ranked 12 & under tennis player who decided I would much rather play a team sport. So at 12, I took skating lessons, played house league for 2 years, then played one year of Bantam A, and then 2 years of U16AAA (NAPHL 2013/14 & USPHL 2014/15) hockey. For the 2015-2016 season I will be playing for the Atlanta Fire U18AAA (NJPHL) team.
My dream has been to be able to play college hockey at a high level while obtaining a first class education at a university with an Engineering or Physical Sciences based academic program. I am a very strong student and I play Ice Hockey and Varsity Tennis. During my sophomore and junior year, I was able to move up and play Tier 1/AAA level hockey. I think of myself as a solid athlete who is a "student of the game", teachable and focused on skills, strategy and execution. I consider myself a leader first; I think every team needs leaders that are focused on communication, execution of our strategies and awareness of what the opponent is attempting to do to circumvent us.
I am one of four boys in my family. My oldest brother is an NCAA D1 swimmer majoring in Mechanical Engineering at Cal Poly. My second oldest brother attends Emory University; he was a top ranked Juniors and High School tennis player and now is an avid rock climber/mountaineer who leads climbs and expeditions. My younger brother is a rising 9th grader who also plays Bantam AA ice hockey and is a very talented musician.
As a student athlete and leader I intend to do my part on and off the ice to help my team to success.
