Roman Bengert '14 Recruiting Profile

My goals in college are based on both academic and athletic objectives. My dream is to play NCAA Division I Hockey to move my hockey career as far forward as possible, while achieving a degree in Engineering, Sciences or Medical Sciences.

I am driven by a strong work ethic and the ability to balance both academics and athletics. This is what makes me different from the other potential recruits who are competing for my spot because I have the same desire for success in hockey as I do in school. Therefore, I will be more academically inclined, relative to the other athletes.  

While I endeavor to be a leader mainly by example, I am not afraid to stand up and be vocal, both on and off the ice, for what I think is best for the team. My desire for success can be very infectious to my teammates and I feel that I am mentally stronger and more motivated than the most people my age. I am very willing to be held accountable to my team and school for both my efforts and my results, and I will respond diligently to my academic and athletic shortcomings.  My high personal standards of character, academics, and athletics are what separates me from other recruits.
