Connor Kasin had a true passion for the game of hockey and was actively pursuing his dream of playing college hockey in the NCAA.
In that pursuit, he put together a short statement about his style of play and what he could provide to college teams who were interested.
My name is Connor Kasin and I have been playing Ice Hockey since the age of four. I am an active, social, and encouraging teammate both on and off the ice. I like to see my self as an active player in the way that I play both with and without the puck. Some things that would make me a good team candidate are my academic ability, leadership qualities, athletic performance, and my character. I can be seen as an overall defensive defenseman when it comes to my style of play. My goals are to get into a great college that provides me with both excellent coaching and education.
We would like to send our condolences to the Kasin family and Connor's friends and teammates as they work through an unimaginable loss.
