Ian Edinger is one of the most driven, determined, and skilled face-off midfielders I have ever had the pleasure to coach. Ian has extremely fast hands and a powerful initial move. Ian also excels as a counter mover with a diverse and varied arsenal that he applies to great effect! Ian was our primary face-off midfielder this year, earning himself the title of WPIAL AA face-off midfielder of the year. This was a well-deserved honor, as Ian’s 71%-win percentage was crucial to winning many games. Ian is a consummate teammate and is the first one to pick up his teammates after a mistake or talk strategy and techniques with his fellow face-off midfielders. Ian is wonderfully coachable and is ready and willing to make alterations based on coach suggestions and guidance. My favorite part of coaching Ian is his unwavering work ethic. Ian works on his craft constantly and is always seeking to improve on even the slightest weakness. Ian is an amazing young man with great character and a desire to be his best at all times. Any coach wanting an athletic, powerful, and smart face-off midfielder would be lucky to have Ian, I know we have been!
