Matthew Doane '20 Recruiting Profile

long Beach Sharks...Personal Statement
Thank you for taking the time to look at my NCSA recruitment page. It was not until I was 10 years old when I decided I wanted to try hockey. I remember driving home from a baseball game one day when I told my mom I wanted to play hockey instead. Her first reaction was, “No, it’s too dangerous.” However, after a year of constant pushing, she finally said, “Okay, but you might want to learn how to skate first.” Over the next five years, I worked really hard to get to where I am today, the NA3HL. Now my sights are set on playing college hockey and hopefully beyond.
Every team, coach or teacher that I have worked with over the last five years have taught me something different. Even though I started late, I used everything I learned to help me progress further. I realize that I still have a lot to learn but because of my dedication and drive, I am ready to take on new challenges and be the best I can be on and off the ice. I love hockey and I love learning the little details of the game that will make me a better player. If there is one thing I can bring to a team it is that I am a great teammate. During games I stay positive and supportive towards my teammates no matter what our situation is. Right now being one of the youngest players on my junior team does not hold me back. I realize how lucky I am to be in this position and I am taking advantage of every opportunity put in front of me to be the best player I can be.
Please contact me or my coaches if you have any questions. Thank you for your interest in me.
