Melina Acosta '23 Recruiting Profile

Hockey has been apart of my life since I was 4 years old. I have played many competitive sports, but hockey is what I am most passionate about. Growing up I have always pushed my myself to become a better hockey player with the  goal to play NCAA and compete at the highest level possible.    

    Academically I am an IB student taking university courses looking to peruse a career in architecture and interior design, which is something that has always fascinated me and peaked my interest. 

   I am a well-rounded student-athlete who takes commitments seriously as I also have a part time job as a hockey instructor for young intermediate players. I’m quite passionate about it as I enjoy sharing the love I have for the game to younger kids who look up to me and my goals.
   
   Not only on the ice, but off ice as well, something  that is incredibly important to me is my work ethic.  No matter what I’m doing it’s a priority of mine that I work as hard as I can, as I believe that’s it’s the dedication, hard work, as well as a positive and respective attitude that will help me accomplish my goals in life and grow as a player and a person.
