Personal Statement
Dear coaches,
My name is Jakob Koinegg, I am 19 years old and I currently live in Graz, Austria. When I was just 5 years old I started playing ice hockey in my home town, in Pachern, close to Graz. We were a successful team, playing many international tournaments and many of my former teammates, made it to the pro level. Unfortunately, I stopped playing when I was 11, because of one of my coaches. In 2020 I started playing again, in a hobby league, with many former pro hockey players. In 2021 I applied to play for the "North Vancouver Hockey Academy" and I got accepted, but then Covid hit and they did not allow any international students for this season, which lead to me only going there for half a year to study. My dream is to play as much hockey as possible and where can I get a better chance to do that, than in university. Educational success is also very important for me and my family. Please do not hesitate to contact me.
Your sincerely,
Jakob Koinegg
PS.: I was not able to add my real school to my profile, because it was not available.
