Next Level U Statement
My name is Mara Edward, I am interested in continuing my hockey journey by playing at a Post Secondary level over the next 4 years. I would greatly appreciate speaking with you about the prospect of joining your Team and attending your school.
As a dedicated and passionate athlete, I am eager to contribute to the success of your program and continue my hockey journey. I was hoping I could speak with you about my future plans for the next four years and how I might be able to contribute to your team.
I have twelve years of competitive hockey experience with the Kingston Ice Wolves Association.
Throughout my time with the Ice Wolves, I have developed a strong foundation in the sport, competing at the Tier 1 level and consistently striving for excellence on the ice.
A significant milestone in my hockey journey was being chosen as the team Captain for the Kingston Ice Wolves Tier 1 Team during the 2023-2024 season. This experience not only reinforced my leadership skills but also instilled in me a deeper sense of responsibility and accountability both on and off ice.
In addition to club hockey, I have played three years of varsity hockey at the Triple AAA level in Ontario. One of the highlights of my varsity hockey career was being chosen for the Coach’s Award for both the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 seasons, a recognition that underscored my dedication, work ethic, and commitment to the team. I was also honored to be selected as an Assistant Captain for the 2023-2024 varsity team.
As a player, I pride myself on my strong skills and discipline in teamwork, leadership, and coachability. I am a versatile and adaptable athlete, capable of thriving in high-pressure situations and rising to the occasion when it matters most.
As a right defenseman, I possess powerful skating skills and excel in both offensive and defensive roles. I am a playmaker who excels at moving the puck out of the defensive zone quickly and with precision, making me an asset on both special team power plays and penalty kills.
Beyond hockey, I have a wide range of interests that keep me active and engaged. Growing up on the St. Lawrence River, I developed a passion for boating and water sports, truly embodying the spirit of a “river rat.” My love for water also extends to recreational swimming. I enjoy running and biking, which complements my athletic pursuits and keeps me in top physical condition. I have been actively training for 3 years with a personal trainer 3-5 times a week to ensure I am following a solid off ice workout to build up my strength and conditioning. In addition to my love for sports, I have a strong passion for family time, travel and music, which helps me to relax and recharge.
I am eager for the opportunity to speak with you personally and demonstrate my on-ice skill set and my strong commitment to teamwork. I am confident that my passion for the game, coupled with my dedication and work ethic, would make me a valuable addition to your team.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I would truly appreciate any possibility to meet with you and your team to discuss your program and how I may contribute to its development and continued success.
