At Dartmouth: Buckley had a breakthrough season last year, scoring career highs in goals with seven, assists with 14 and points with 21. Buckley had a career-high three points (1g, 2a) against St. Lawrence (1/18) and had his first multiple goal game of the season at Brown (3/1), scoring twice. In his sophomore year, Buckley was one of the team?s top penalty-killing forwards. He scored three goals on the season, including the game winner against Yale (1/12). As a freshman, he broke into the lineup in mid-season and finished the year with three points in 21 games. Buckley?s first collegian goal came in a loss against Harvard.

High School: Buckley 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 former 'Hawk and 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.

Jeremiah Buckley on Dartmouth
"The search to find an institution that would provide me with greater challenges each day in athletics and academics than I had ever experienced before, was what initially sparked my interest in Dartmouth. Immediately after my recruiting trip, I knew that Dartmouth would provide me with everything that I was looking for and so much more. Not only was I impressed by the beautiful campus and the extraordinary tradition, but I was most impressed by the people. The people I met at Dartmouth were all highly intelligent and well-rounded individuals who all shared a great deal of pride and affection for their school. Through my experience at Dartmouth so far, I too have developed this tremendous pride in Dartmouth and a deep affection for the coaches, professors, and fellow students who have pushed me beyond my potential and have helped me learn and grow."
