About Meryk Bell
Goals:
My immediate goal is to play Junior Hockey with my long-term goal is to play in the NCAA while continuing my education.
I am graduating from high school in 2024 and actively interested in competing at the Junior level.
I would like to continue playing hockey to the highest level while attaining a degree in Kinesiology.
Player Type:
My teammates would describe me as a dedicated team player and an extremely hard worker.
I not only lead by my work ethic on the ice but also off ice whether it is in the gym or in other training.
I believe that through my unwavering defensive positioning, skill as a play maker, and ability to read and react to the game, I am a valuable asset to the team.
I am a positive team member, always there to build up my teammates and support them through the ups and downs of the game.
My willingness to put my team before myself whether that’s taking a hit to make a play or block a shot I’m a guy that the coach can count on.
Who Am I:
I was raised to be polite and work well in a mature setting. I consider myself to be a reliable and consistent defensive player ready to block shots, play the body, take hits and make hits to get the job done.
Strengths:
Some of my most notable strengths are;
My natural defensive ability, my physical size sturdiness & agility,
My coach-ability (ability to adapt to a new system & situations quickly) and strong hockey sense!
What Sets Me Apart:
*I am not afraid to take a hit to make a play.
*I can take a hit well as I am stable, agile and tough but also aware of the best way to get it done without getting hurt.
*I am a superb blocker, when I go to stop the puck it gets stopped even if I have to take out the man!
*I am fast and possess excellent agility, backward and forward control.
*I have excellent stamina operating at 100+% on the ice.
*I am always hyper focused on the game and maintain a high level of game mind-set (& prep) throughout the game.
*I do not lose my temper easily.
Other Things To Note:
Also of note; I am a certified lifeguard, trained in first aid and have a passion for helping others, leading by example and driven by sport integrity.
