Next Level U Statement

My name is Reese Halliday , and would like to provide an update on my hockey journey and academic aspirations. I’m a 2026 graduate and looking to further my academic and hockey careers at the next level.

I am excited to announce that I will be playing for the NORTH YORK STORM U22AA team during the 2025/26 season, with plans to begin university in September 2026.

My past 2 seasons:

• 2024/25 Season: Assistant Captain for the U18AA Ancaster Avalanche
• 2023/24 Season: Assistant Captain for the U18AA Ancaster Avalanche

Throughout my hockey career, I have primarily played as a centre, a position where I feel very confident and effective. However, knowing the importance of versatility, I have also embraced playing left wing this past season, a role that leverages my speed, scoring ability  and adaptability.

Academic and Athletic Aspirations:

My goal is to attend and play university hockey, aiming to balance high-level athletics with academic excellence. I am not sure what program I would like to attend yet but currently, I have an average of 88% and have been on the honour roll since middle school.

Additional Athletic Endeavours:

Beyond hockey, I actively participate in various sports, demonstrating leadership and a commitment to physical fitness:

• High School Sports:  Ultimate frisbee (team was 12th in the country), Softball, Basketball, Badminton, Girls’ Hockey (Team Captain), I played as the only girl on our Jr varisty co-ed hockey team in grade 9 and then proceeded to play on the Sr varsity hockey co-ed team as the only girl and grade 9 in the league

Key Strengths On Ice:

• Strategic awareness and excellent IQ
• extremely strong and a powerful skater
• Effective back-checking and fore-checking abilities.
