Hockey Hall of Famer Glenn Anderson, a six-time Stanley Cup champion with the New York Rangers and the Edmonton Oilers, visited our 6U + 8U Mites and 10U Squirts Spring practices this week as part of the Rangers Alumni outreach. Glenn was very happy to see all the activity on the ice, and he passed along some words of wisdom to the skaters then signed autographs for all.
Character-builder. North Park 12U PeeWees Black fought back from down 1-3 with nine minutes left in the third period to force a tie. Then in overtime, they rolled out the old Czech - Slovak "Number One" for an OT winner to advance to the New York State finals on Sunday at 12:15 pm in Buffalo / Amherst NY.
Our 10U Squirts Black team won the Hudson Valley Hockey League (HVHL) 10U A Championship this past weekend with an exciting 5-2 victory. They followed this up with the successful front end of an AAA home-and-away, continuing their busy weekend. Congratulations to Coach Martin, all the parent coaches, the Commissioners and the entire team for an amazing season
Our 12U PeeWees Blue team won the Hudson Valley Hockey League (HVHL) 12U A Championship this past weekend with a 2-1 victory. A gripping 1-1 tie led to a thrilling five-round, one-total-goal shootout ending with a save on the last shot for the title. Congratulations to Coach Robert, all the parent coaches, the Commissioners and the entire team for an amazing season!
Our 12U PeeWees Green team won their second tournament of the year this past weekend. Their Liberty Cup Spring Classic B2 Championship in the Philadelphia area caps off a very enjoyable year for the team.
In an annual tradition, the 14U Bantams Black team took time out of their busy schedules last week to help coach the 6U and 8U Mites at City Ice, leaving a great impression. As always, the journey from 6U to 14U seems so far away at the beginning and so quick by the end.
Our 14U Bantams Black team won the the Northern Cyclones Martin Luther King Classic tournament in Nashua NH + Tyngsborough MA in the 14U Red group against tough physical local competition. On a stormy sub-zero winter weekend, the team also bonded with a ski trip to Pats Peak in NH, seats on the glass at an NCAA D1 hockey game to watch #10 UMass-Lowell, and outdoor New Hampshire pond hockey / shinny at night.
