Thomas Austin '20 Recruiting Profile

November 2019 update: I have signed an NLI with Chestnut Hill College to play lacrosse.

I am currently Captain of my U18 team while still eligible for U16 (2002).  My family has decided that the distance to the closest Tier 1 team is too far, so we have tried to optimize my development at our local organization, and the Lehigh Valley Phantoms Youth have facilitated opportunities for me.  I have played AA hockey at Peewee and Bantam levels as a first year player in each of those age groups.  I was selected most improved at the Peewee level.  In the off season I am a Varsity starter for my High School Lacrosse team as a sophomore.

I am looking for an opportunity to play at the highest level that I can while also getting the best education that I can.  I will do my best to earn a starting position or work as hard as I can to push the starters to continue to improve and deliver.  The best team for me will be one where we have good chemistry on and off the ice.  The time we will spend with each other in the gym, the locker room and on buses will be significant and should be fun.
