Charles Baker '24 Recruiting Profile

I started playing hockey at 10 years old, and am currently playing for the Dallas Penguins 16u A team. Playing for the Penguins was my dream for many years as I worked my way up through multiple league teams and playing high school hockey. I began playing JV High School hockey in the 8th grade. As a freshman I made the Frisco High School Varsity team. In summer 2022 I knew I had developed enough skill to finally try out for the Dallas Penguins. I attended a three day showcase in June 2022, and was invited by the coach to attend an invitation only camp in July 2022. At the end of the camp the coach informed me that if I wanted to tryout for the team I would have a very good chance at getting a spot. I joined the team as a forward and then played defense during one practice. My coach saw a lot of potential in my defensive play, and started me on defense for the first time in my hockey career. I enjoyed playing D, but our team needed consistent scoring and someone who could win faceoffs. I was moved back to playing forward at the center position where I score consistently and win most of the faceoffs I take. I am also on first line powerplay. I am looking to get a degree in business and psychology to grow and succeed with my clothing line. I'm looking forward to learning more about handling a business and how to make smart decisions so that I can make the most money that I can with the many good business ideas that I have. I want to learn how the human brain works in psychology , the human brain and how it works is very interesting to me and I am really looking forward for what the college or university brings me in business and psychology .
