Lauren Taber '23 Recruiting Profile

Hello, I am from Howards Grove located near Sheboygan, Wisconsin. I currently play for the Fond du Lac Warbirds due to a co-op that I requested that started my freshman year(2019-2020) and I wear jersey #20. My hopes after high school are to dive into my studies of becoming a Physical Therapist while playing the sport I love. Growing up and learning how to play hockey make this sport near and dear to me so I hope to play for as long as possible.

My education is a priority as well because of my ambitions of becoming a Physical therapist.  Although I had to adapt to new learning styles because of COVID-19. I have learned how to self-motivate myself and keep track of time management while keeping up with my good grades. I believe this started when I first started playing hockey and learning how to skate.

I first started learned how to skate at the age of 7. Since hockey was not provided through the school I began playing with the Sheboygan Laker hockey association. As I moved through the level of hockey I played all different positions, but once I was in Peewee's I was placed at defense. After Peewee's with the boys, I decided to transition to Fond du Lac to play with the Fond du Lac Thunder U12 team. Once I was adapted to the team culture I was placed as a forward. As a forward, I excelled with my technique earn 3 hat tricks during the season, and helping lead my team to 3rd place in the state tournament. At the end of my season with the Thunder, I was contacted by the Milwakee Jr. Admiral abscission and started participating in their spring program and later tried out for the U14 team and made the team. After learning how to play at a high level it help me prepare for the next year when I started playing for the Fond Du Lac Warbirds.  My freshman year with the Warbirds was an amazing experience and learned how to play with only 11 players. I help my team take runner-up in sectionals that year. Now I am in my current year with the Warbirds and can not wait for the rest of the season to come.
