Noah Nevins '27 Recruiting Profile

Who you are when things go your way, is easy. Who you are when things don’t work out, shows your true character. After sustaining an injury during tryouts for my current season, I was unable to compete, this took me away from my AAA status, moving to AA for the season. Although disappointing, I used It as an opportunity for growth. I committed to a 5 day, hockey specific, training & conditioning program throughout the summer and worked hard to rebuild myself so I can blow up my current season & come back stronger than ever to AAA next year. I have continued to play in spring / summer tournaments at the AAA level, leading the charge in points, and am the #1 AP for the AAA team this season. 

Hockey is my passion, I’ve been playing since I was 3 years old, and know it’s what I’m meant to do. 

Here are quotes from Jeff Toole, Director of Hockey Operations at the Hamilton Steel AAA hockey club (formerly Hamilton Huskies coach), sent to my Mother when we moved from Hamilton to Burlington:

“it really was a great pleasure coaching Noah this season!  He is a great young man on and off the ice. You raised a young man you can be very proud of which is more important than anything he could ever do on the ice.” 

“He is an intelligent player who sees the ice really well. He displays a solid understanding of the teams systems and structure. Noah has great hands, and makes many nifty passes. He is a very unselfish player.”

“Noah has very good size which he uses well to protect the puck.  He also looks like a young player that is going to be a big kid.”

“As mentioned earlier his character as a highly coachable player and teammate is incredible.  He is a galvanizing player that is a "glue" guy among his teammates always showing respect for all he comes in contact with.  He is a hard worker who is always giving you his best effort.  The kind of player you wan to have on your team and play with!”
