Gabriel De Santis '26 Recruiting Profile

This is why I am a good candidate for the NCAA College Hockey program:

I began skating at 3 years old and started playing competitively at the AAA level when I was 10 years old. I am a left handed defenseman although I can play both defensive positions. My skills as a player is my tenacity, agility and physical play.  Coaches have always liked me because I'm a good listener, respectful and I always work hard, on and off the ice.  Playing in the LHEQ league in Quebec has allowed me to play with and against the best players in the province.  My goal is to play hockey at the NCAA level and further my education and obtain a University degree.

I am currently attending an English high school in Quebec although I completed all of my Elementary education in French.  Migrating from French to English school this past year has been a great experience and one that I was looking forward to.  My friends at school are all English and my teammates in hockey for the most part are all French. Whatever the environment, I have always been able to adapt with ease, as a student or as an athlete.
