Warrior Interview #7

The Merrimack College Men’s Hockey team has been knocking down the door when it comes to recruiting players. Merrimack currently has 23 commits and are still out recruiting many possible future warriors. On Friday November 23rd Merrimack received a “big” commitment from 6ft 5 defensemen Jacob Modry. Modry who is a ’99 born defenseman currently plays for the Wenatchee Wild (BCHL) and as of now has 3 goals and 10 assists in 28 games played so far this season.

I was lucky enough to catch up with Modry yesterday to ask him a few questions on his commitment to Merrimack. Here are some clips of the interview:

Q: During your recruitment process what stood out to you when looking at Merrimack versus what other schools had to offer?

A: “What stood out most about Merrimack was how close the guys were and that everybody plays hard and has a high level of compete in their game, I went on a visit to Merrimack and I got the opportunity to meet the coaches and players and get a feel for the school. I enjoyed it and learned a lot about the program and knew that Merrimack was the spot for me.”

Q: When you received an offer from Merrimack did you know right away that’s the school I want to go to or did you wait a little bit before deciding on Merrimack?

A: “As soon as I went on the visit to Merrimack and had the offer to play here I knew that this would be the spot for me, I discussed with my parents and decided quickly to commit!!”

Q: Where do you see this program headed in the next couple of years, it’s a new coach and a lot of people say that he is very determined to bring home a couple of championship banners when meeting with coach Borek did you also get that same sense?

A: “I really do believe that this program has a chance to do big things in the future! Coach Borek is a great hockey mind and I loved how determined he is to win!”

Q: What do you think is the biggest asset that you will bring to the Merrimack team?

A: “The biggest asset I can add to the team is that I am a big puck moving defenseman, I take pride in my first pass and I play a fast transition game and can get up the ice and add some offense!”

O'brien commits to Merrimack Written By: Noah Cusack-Margolis 3/15/19              A while back Mark Hillier committed to Merrimack from SAC (Saint Andrews College). Just a few days ago teammate Devlin O'brien committed to the Merrimack program for 2021 the same year Hillier is predicted to arrive at Merrimack. Standing at only 5 feet 10 inches and 175 pounds, O'brien is not afraid to take the hit to the body and isn't afraid to fight for the puck against the boards. O'brien is expected to make a very big impact to the Merrimack team right away. Coach borek has been doing an amazing job when it comes to recruiting those grade A players. Currently Merrimack has 29 commits who's projected arrival years are from 2019 to 2021. I was lucky enough to talk to the SAC means hockey coach Mr. David Manning to ask him some questions about his thoughts on Devlin O'brien: Q: How would you describe him as a player?
