Jacob is a quiet leader. He leads with his work ethic. He leads with his attitude. He leads with his selflessness. He leads with his passion for this game. Jacob will also lead with his voice and his actions. Jacob’s teammates that play every game respect his, play for his not allowing a missed shift or a change in line combinations to change their attitude. I believe it is because Jacob never complains, is always one of the first to the rink, does extra, is a fierce competitor and is grateful daily.

Jacob is very coachable. He listens and makes changes when we talk to the whole group, when we talk to just to the defensemen and when we talk individually to him. When Jacob plays, he is a player who is a stabilizer – plays simple, doesn’t make many mistakes and is always where he needs to be. His character and integrity are of the highest of order and they do not waiver. He finds a positive in everything and is a fierce competitor who never settles. Jacob is always making sure players are accountable and doing what they should be doing to make the team better.
