Luke Rubin '23 Recruiting Profile

I am a student athlete who just graduated high school, and I just began playing my first junior hockey season with the Maryland Black Bears (NAHL). My primary position is left wing; however, I am a versatile player and can play right wing and center. My strengths are puck possession, my shot, production, and my hockey IQ.  I am a leader on and off the ice by encouraging others and being inclusive. I was selected as Team Captain by my teammates for the past 2 seasons (2020-21 and 2021-22). My coaches would describe me as coachable, hard-working, and focused.

This past season, I played in 54 games and recorded 80 points to include 51 goals. In April of 2023, I signed a NAHL tender with the Maryland Black Bears. The previous season, I played in 60 games scored 57 goals, and had 26 assists for a total of 83 points. In May of 2021, I was drafted by the Youngstown Phantoms in the Phase Two USHL Draft. In May of 2022, I was selected by the Mercer Chiefs in the second round of the NCDC Draft.

I am an outgoing person that makes friends easily, but also knows when it is time to focus and work hard instead of being social.  I am connected to my local community through volunteer work that I have done as a mentor for the Washington Ice Dogs, a local hockey organization that provides the opportunity for all ages and abilities to play ice hockey.  I have also volunteered at my church, my local food bank, and as a camp counselor. 

I am continuously working to improve myself both on and off the ice. My goal is to earn the opportunity to compete at the highest possible level, while continuing my education at a college that is good fit for me both athletically and academically. I plan to pursue my educational interests in the areas of sports broadcasting/media, communications, business, and sports management.
