St. Anthony Friars | Friars | BOYS

Patrick Rowan is a talented student athlete that harbors the unique combination of poise coupled with a fiercely competitive edge. For the past two years, I have had the privilege of coaching Patrick on the St. Anthony’s High School varsity ice hockey team. I have witnessed the transformation of a quiet and reserved adolescent into a competitive and dynamic leader. He was named captain of the varsity ice hockey team in his senior season because of his leadership on and off the ice and the respect he commands from his peers. His presence in the locker room, on the bench during games, and on the ice during practices and games is unprecedented. Patrick’s teammates look to him for direction and rally around his discipline and competitiveness that is required to compete and win at the varsity level. Patrick also is actively involved with St. Anthony’s and has an impressive 90.3 grade point average. His future academic plans include attending Sienna College in Loudonville, NY where I am confident he will flourish.

It has been my honor to coach Patrick over the past two seasons and my pleasure to recommend him for the prestigious Hobey Baker Award.
