Ethan Dorval '12 Recruiting Profile

Hello my name is Ethan Dorval.I am 6'1" and weigh 170 lbs. On the ice I consider myself more of a playmaker  but i also have the ability to finish. I pride myself on getting to the dirty area's of the ice, because it is there that I feel that I will find opportunities to score. Another skill that i have strived to perfect is taking face offs. I am extremely confident in the draw, losing only a few face offs over the course of a season. As a player I find that I perform best in a possession based system; due to my playmaking disposition.  After my junior season, my coach awarded me the captaincy of our team. This means very much to me because I have always valued myself as a leader, often being a captain all through youth hockey. I am a firm beleiver that what you gain from anything depends on how much effort you put into it. With that said, I am a hard worker, usually the last on the ice and always trying to improve. It has been a goal of mine since I saw my first college hockey game to one day play at the collegiate level. This is something that if given the opportunity I feel that I will excell at.
