Damion Williams '20 Recruiting Profile

Winning a National Championship and being able to go to the Western Regional High Performance Camp were both rewarding experiences for me in many ways, even though I did win the National Championship I was not a top player on that team and including at Western Regional High Performance Camp I was not a top player there either. With these two experiences I was exposed to better hockey than I am used to playing in Wyoming and I really found out how much better I needed to be to be able to play AAA and beyond that level. So I took those two experiences and trained hard over the summer, the following season my stats improved and I played up on our High School team to win the state championship for the High School team and my Bantam team. Then that summer I got the offer to play for the Colorado Springs Tigers, through this process I learned and experienced how hard work really does payoff. I am willing to work however hard I need to be the best player I can.

I first became interested in hockey when I was four years old, no one in my family had played hockey before me and they didn't even know if my home town had a hockey rink. I come from a town of only 2,000 people so we never had a lot of people on our teams and we just had to play with what we had, as an example my second year of bantams we had only seven people on our team at the beginning of the year and we still played in every game during that season. From the time I learned to skate hockey has been my passion.

Aside from hockey I love spending time outside doing a variety of things, I enjoy horn hunting, fishing, hiking, dirt biking, going for bike rides and long walks on beaches.
