Parker McKee - Full Scholarship Duke Lacrosse – current player
” Coach Moody has the experience and knowledge to help his players navigate through the very difficult college recruiting process.  Our relationship was one of mutual respect.  I admire his passion for competition and his desire to help all of his players get to the next level.  I am fortunate to have had him as a coach and value his friendship.”

Steven Piatelli – Recruited to play Lacrosse at Harvard – current student
“Coach Moody has had a great impact on my life as a student-athlete.  His great competitiveness and drive for his players to achieve their absolute best is inspiring.  I am thankful for the many hours he has spent with me looking at several different college options.  I am grateful for his dedication to me and my family during this very stressful period.”

Ben Barr - Full Scholarship RPI Hockey – former captain
“Coach Moody was the reason why I had an opportunity to play and become a Captain at the Division I college level.  He was in close contact with college recruiters constantly and convinced many of them they needed to take a hard look at me.  One of those looks paid of for me and my entire family.  Not only did I achieve my dream of playing Division I, but I was able to tell my parents they did not have to pay a dime for college.  I am so thankful for Coach Moody and all that he has done.  He is a great coach and has become a true friend.”

Pat Cullity – Full Scholarship University of Vermont Hockey – current captain
“I was coached by Coach Moody for five years as a student-athlete.  He has seen me grow and develop through all the different periods of my academic and athletic life.  His faith in me as a player gave me the confidence I needed to stay strong and continue to believe in my dream.  He was a knowledgeable and tough coach.  His experience and expertise are invaluable.  My family and I are forever grateful for all that he has done to put me in the position to earn a full scholarship and achieve a childhood dream of playing Division I athletics.”
