Personal Statement

L: Leader
O: Optimistic
N: Never Give Up
I state the above because I feel they are a true reflection of my character. I am a 6'1" goalie, who will be graduating in the year 2014. Currently I have a 3.9 GPA and I am a member of the National Honor Society, as well as the Junior Classical League, and I am a Student Ambassador for Cardinal Gibbons High School. I have been playing hockey since the age of four, and have played at a competitive travel level for ten of my fourteen seasons.
I am interested in exploring all division levels in all geographic locations, and I am interested in a career in Physical Therapy.
I most recently played play with the Carolina Lightning Hockey organization. My current stats were 12-3-5 with a .869 save percentage and a GAA of 1.33 I also recorded 7 shut outs. What I offer is a hard working, dedicated player with a "can do" attitude. I am extremely team focused and always looking for ways to improve, both mentally and physically. Ideally, I am looking to become a scholar athlete who excels in his studies, while being able to play a sport I am passionate about. Also, I am looking at a financial need situation to help with my education.
I am not the most talkative, I let my actions speak for me both on and off the ice.
