My goal will be to attend an outstanding academic university while playing competitive hockey with a strong program. I am pursuing an International Business Degree. I attend St. Ignatius College Prep in Chicago. I have maintained an Honors with Distinction since the second semester of my sophomore year and am taking multiple AP and Honors classes in my senior year.

I am a left-handed shooting center and believe my playmaking skills, overall hockey sense, soft hands and ability to finish best describe my game. I was moved to center from LW this season to take advantage of my increased speed, ability to move the puck and improving playing skills. Conservatively, I win 70% of my draws and take many of the key face-offs in our defensive zone late in our games.

My St. Ignatius Wolfpack Hockey team made it all the way to overtime in the deciding Chicago Catholic Hockey League Championship Game but lost a 6-5 heartbreaker. Even though I scored two goals in the final game, the pain of coming that close --- and not winning is going to spur me and my teammates to get the job done in 2021-2022.

I LOVE to compete and I LOVE the friends I have made through hockey. It's the GREATEST sport, IMO.
Thank you-
Paul O'Grady / Class of 2022
