Samuel LaRocco '21 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement
My greatest strength as an athlete is that I'm always striving to be better and will not give anything but my best on the ice.
I have the same discipline in the classroom and have earned the respect of my coaches, teachers, teammates and other students with my solid work ethic and positive attitude.
Within a short time I've improved my goaltending skills because my parents see my dedication and are willing to get me to as many camps, clinics and open ice as possible. I listen to suggestions and am always seeking ways to get more skilled.
My hope is to work in the field of sports science but I also love geography and mapping. Should I have the opportunity to be a collegiate student athlete, obtaining a degree will be of primary importance. I understand the discipline it takes to excel in both aspects and I'm willing to commit myself to both hockey and academic excellence.
