It is my honor to recommend Teddy Westrick for the Hobey Baker Award. I have had the privilege of knowing Teddy as both his teacher and Head Hockey Coach at Stevens Point Area Senior High School throughout his four-year career, and he exemplifies the character, leadership, and excellence this award represents. Teddy is a true team-first leader who leads by example through his work ethic, composure, accountability, and respect for the game, earning the trust of teammates and coaches while positively shaping our locker room culture. He consistently supports younger players, handles adversity with maturity, and holds himself to a high standard without seeking recognition. Beyond the rink, Teddy has demonstrated strong leadership as a former Class President, representing his peers with integrity and responsibility. Academically, he is an outstanding student with a 3.91 GPA, a rigorous AP course load, consistent High Honor Roll recognition, and a strong class rank, reflecting the same discipline and commitment he brings to hockey and leadership. Teddy’s humility, character, and ability to excel as a student-athlete make him an exceptional candidate for the Hobey Baker Award.
