Building Blue: Build-A-Beast in the weight room with defender Jackson Dorrington

Dorrington credits two coaches on the Huskies staff who are always willing to spend time with him to work on skill development.

Assistant coach Jason Guerriero and director of hockey operations Michael Jamieson are always available for players to do extra work and Dorrington said those two each spend about six hours on the ice each day.

“Those two are definitely invested in our development and they bring the best attitude to the rink every day,” Dorrington said of Guerriero and Jamieson. “We’re always here at 8 a.m. working on skills and skating.”

In addition to her summer studies, practices and time on the ice, Dorrington has found part-time work on campus and spends a lot of time enjoying the summer with her teammates. Dorrington plays a little golf but says his game needs improvement.

As the summer progresses, Dorrington will continue to skate with his teammates at Warrior Ice Arena, where the Boston Bruins practice. He is focusing on his progress in school so he can devote more time to his junior season.

As an upperclassman, Dorrington has high expectations for himself and his team. The goal continues to be a national championship for the Huskies while Dorrington looks to take on more of a leadership role within his club.

The big defender is certainly excited for what’s to come next season and will continue to work hard in the gym so he can play with the confidence that helps his game flourish at the NCAA level.
