Jamie Wood, Head Coach
Women's Ice Hockey
Elmira College (NY)

I am often asked what I look for when recruiting players for our program. Obviously there has to be a certain talent level to play at the college level, but ice hockey coaches cannot build a program on talent alone. A student athlete needs several qualities to be successful at the college level. Some of the things our staff looks for are:

Passion for the game. The best hockey players are the ones who have a real love of the game, and a desire to make it a big part of their identity in college.

Do you dream about hockey? Do you think about it, watch it, love it and want it to be a big part of your daily life?
