Reese Duncan '26 Recruiting Profile

My strong work ethic started as a young girl cleaning cabins at my grandmother's resort and planting flowers at a local nursery. As the years went on, my strong work ethic mirrored my passion in sports & in the classroom by achieving the "Most Improved Player" award in volleyball & hockey, scoring our winning goal at state with the bantams, making high honors throughout my high school & middle school years in academics, and helping people throughout the community by volunteering my time. I feel I would make an exceptional candidate for any college hockey team that is looking for an outstanding athlete and individual that will bring a strong sense of motivation, compassion, and confidence to the team. 

Comment from Wisconsin Selects Coach Dan Bauer-

"Hey Reese, Coach Bauer here. Just finished watching some of the weekend games. Really happy with your attention to detail. You have made several great backdoor passes, like the one to PaisLee, from behind the net, in game one. Your backdoor awareness is great and has led to several goals for us. Then the third goal, it all begins with your board battle that gets the puck out to Penny who finds Morgan for a breakaway goal. I feel like your physical game, engaging in more puck battles has really improved. Keep that up. Most often, you quietly play a very solid game for us and sometimes it goes unnoticed. But when I watch video, it is all there. Defensively, you have only been on the ice for one goal scored against us, that is outstanding."

Comment from former teacher Ellyn Schneider-

You lead by example.  You aren't bossy, you aren't overly outspoken, but yet you have this way about you that attracts others to you. You lead by example...."
