Playing career

Haczyk was born in Secaucus, New Jersey and grew up in Jersey City before moving to Nutley at age seven.[1] He was a fan of the New York Rangers as a child.[2] Haczyk attended Seton Hall Prep where he won two state championships and won the Gordon Conference MVP award.[2] Haczyk then played one year for the New Jersey Hitmen of the EJHL. He moved to the Green Bay Gamblers of the United States Hockey League for the 2005–06 and 2006–07 seasons.[1]

In 2007 he enrolled in Niagara University. Haczyk played for Niagara for four full seasons, not missing a regular season game for his entire career at Niagara. For the first three seasons at Niagara Haczyk often served as a short-handed specialist and was known for his skating speed. In the 2010–11 season he served as the team captain. After scoring 18 goals in his first three seasons at Niagara, Haczyk scored 27 goals in the 2010–11 regular season.[1] During the month of January 2011 he was chosen as the Hockey Commissioners Association's player of the month in part due to a 21-game scoring streak.[3] While at Niagara he maintained a 3.9 Grade Point Average and graduated a semester early with a major in Accounting.[1][4]

After finishing his career at Niagara, Haczyk began playing for the Trenton Devils at the end of the 2010–11 season. He also signed a contract with the Devils' organization for the 2011–12 season.[5]
