Today is a great day for hockey! My name is Vincent Reiley and I am a senior at Calvert Hall College High School in Towson, MD. I am writing to express my interest in joining your ice hockey team as a goalie for the 2024-2025 season and beyond.
As a goalie for the Ice Cards (my high school team) and Tomorrow's Ice Selects Premier 16U AA team (my club team last year), I have gained valuable experience and honed my skills on and off the ice. I am a calm, steady netminder who rarely gets frustrated or shows emotion. I pride myself on my stoicism. I am also a strong communicator and work well with my defensemen to shut down the opposition's offense. I am there for my team every game.
What sets me apart from other recruits is my passion and drive for the game. I am constantly working to improve my skills and am always looking for ways to contribute to the team's success. Specifically, I have played over 80 games each year for three years between my high school and club schedule. In the off season, I train three times a week with Coach Bryan Canter of Defending the Crease Goaltending in Abingdon, MD.
In addition to my athletic abilities, I pride myself on being a dedicated student-athlete. I have maintained a 3.7 GPA (4.0 adjusted) throughout high school while balancing the demands of being a member of the high school ice hockey team, my club team, and the highly selective, intensive Honors program at Calvert Hall named the “McMullen Scholars”. I understand the importance of maintaining a balance between academics, athletics, and I am committed to continuing my academic success in college.
In addition to my passion for the game and dedication as a student-athlete, I also have specific collegiate goals and aspirations that align with the mission and values of your program. I would like to pursue a career in dentistry, specifically orthodontics.
As a member of your team, I am confident that I can make a positive impact both on and off the ice. I am committed to being a dedicated and hardworking teammate, and I am willing to put in the extra effort to help the team succeed.
In summary, I believe that my combination of athletic abilities, academic dedication, and collegiate goals make me a strong candidate for your team. I am eager to be a leader both on and off the ice, and I am dedicated to representing the school with integrity and sportsmanship and help the team achieve its goals.
I would be honored to have the opportunity to join your team and contribute to the success of the program. Thank you for your time and consideration.
