Pat Binghams Letter of Recommendation for Zach Hertz

My name is Pat Bingham and I am the Head Coach of the Colorado Rampage 16U AAA hockey team. The Rampage is a participating member of both the Colorado Amateur Hockey Association and the Tier One Elite League. I am writing this letter on behalf of Montana native Zach Hertz who is a member of our team. Zach is an outstanding individual who is self-motivated, talented and highly enthusiastic. He is a diligent and committed student-athlete who takes a positive approach to all of his duties and responsibilities. I have had the privilege to coach Zach this season and I have found his work ethic, determination and passion for the game to be exemplary. He was unanimously selected by 20 of his peers to serve as one of the Captains for our hockey team. Under his leadership, his team ranked among the top 50 AAA teams in the nation. This season Zach has proven to be an impact player on an every game basis. He has very good hockey sense, defensive tactics, compete level and offensive skill and instincts which he uses as a defenseman to join the rush and generate offense. He was a top pair defenseman for us this year, playing a significant role on our PP and PK, as well as starting every game. Zach is among the best ‘06 defensemen in the state of Colorado which garnered him attention from several junior hockey scouts watching him play in the prestigious Tier One Elite League. Zach is an outstanding young man in every aspect. He is an experienced leader with extremely strong character and ability. I understand that Zach is unable to attend the Montana State Player Development Camp, however it is my hope that based on his body of work and accomplishments to date that something can be worked out for him to attend the Northern Plains District Camp. It is with great confidence that I recommend him for exemption to the Montana State Player Development Camp.

Sincerely,
Pat Bingham
