Jeremiah Buckley
At Dartmouth: Jeremiah had a big impact on the ice last year as one of
the top penalty-killing forwards on the team. He is a player every coach
would love to have, due to his tireless work ethic and his habit of doing
the little things that don't appear in the stats. He scored a career-high
three goals last season on a line whose job was mainly to stop the opponent's big guns. His tally against Yale on January 12 proved to be the
game-winner. An extremely intense player, Jeremiah saw action in 29 of
Dartmouth's 30 games last season. As a freshman, he broke into the
lineup in mid-season and finished the year with three points in 21 games.
He lit the lamp for the first time as a collegian in a loss against Harvard.
High School: Jeremiah captained the hockey and baseball teams, earning
six letters between the two. He was the conference scoring champion in
1992-93 when he tallied 55 points and garnered two All-Conference
selections and one All-State honor. On the diamond, he won a pair of All-
Conference honors and was All-Region as well.
Personal: A fan of the Chicago Blackhawks, Jeremiah's favorite player is
all-star center Jeremy Roenick. He lists his favorite aspect of the game as
scoring goals and his other interests include weight lifting, fitness and
tracking investments -- something he'd like to continue as a career. Jeremiah once had the opportunity to play against the Dallas Stars' Mike
Modano in a summer league and was impressed by the NHLer's speed
and powerful shot. Jeremiah is considered by his teammates as the best
defensive forward on the squad.
