Humans of Northwood: Cooper Plotts ‘26

“I’m from Ponte Vedra, Florida, which is about a 3.5-hour flight from Lake Placid. I played for South Kent School in Connecticut before I came to Northwood. I chose Northwood for the Prep hockey team being very strong, while also having good academics.

“My favorite part about Northwood is playing hockey every day and playing against some of the best teams. I also love having all my friends here and being together all the time in the dorms.

“My favorite place to eat in town definitely has to be Luna’s. The best thing there is the penne a la vodka with chicken.

“My plans after I graduate from Northwood are to play junior hockey. After juniors, I would like to play NCAA hockey, where I would want to major in business or psychology.

“The best memory I have at Northwood is getting to hang out with all my friends in the dorms. It is an atmosphere you can’t describe, and you become so close with the guys. I also love playing golf with my friends in the spring. It’s always fun after class to go straight to the course.

“The best advice I could give is to be in the moment. This means not focusing on what has happened before or what will happen in the future. Focus on the present and be in that moment and enjoy it as you only get one try at it.”
