We had an exciting MLK tournament weekend with our teams competing all over the country including Detroit MI, Boston MA, Providence RI, Philadelphia PA, Baltimore MD, Washington DC, Charleston SC and Tampa Bay FL. We had impressive showings across the program, and now our coaches will continue to work on finishing Player Evaluations. There is a lot to be proud of.
We also look forward to the upcoming merger + incorporation of the City Ice hockey programs within North Park. Starting with the 2024-’25 season, North Park will be in position to extend our full menu of youth hockey development from 6U first-day beginners, to our oldest age groups competing at the highest national levels. We are thrilled to join forces with the NYC Skyliners + NYC Hockey Club families on this venture.
North Park would not be the program it is today without your support of the Annual Appeal. We are filled with gratitude for your continued generosity, which has ensured the response to requests for additional programming can always be “Yes.” “Yes” we should secure that extra sheet of practice ice. “Yes” our practices will be fully staffed with high level professional coaches. "Yes” we should sign up for that extra tournament. “Yes” we should join that new league. And, "Yes” we will roster that child whose family needs tuition assistance.
As a 501(c)(3) volunteer-run not-for-profit, North Park has no overhead or margin. Your tuition goes directly to the programming for our children, on and off the ice. In addition, we work hard to ensure tight rosters, allowing each child to enjoy optimal ice time. Your contributions to the Annual Appeal are crucial to building the cushion to fund the “Yes.”
Thank you very much for your consideration:
We all share in the gratitude.
Sincerely,
The Board of Directors of North Park Hockey Association, Inc.
Squirt Black secured the champion title over MLK weekend at the MyHockey Congressional Cup Midwinter Classic in Washington D.C., battling it out in a PeeWee division. Forced into a higher age bracket due to tournament scheduling issues, Coach Trevor Ion led the team to victory over teams two years older and often much larger in size. In their second game, down two goals with less than two minutes to play, the team rallied to secure a 4-4 tie and clinched a spot in the semifinals. In a show of tremendous fortitude, the Squirt Blacks recovered from a Sunday night loss to the Hamden Dragons (3-5) to beat them in a rematch in the semis, winning 5-3, marching on to the finals. They proceeded to take down the Piedmont Predators for the Championship, earning a 6-1 victory, through a culmination of elegant passing, strong breakouts, relentless defense and sharp goaltending. It was a memorable weekend of resilience, teamwork and strength in our nation’s capital.
PeeWee Green 2012 triumphed over MLK weekend at the CANAM Challenge Cup in Annapolis, MD, defeating the Maryland Junior Black Bears 3-1 in the Championship game. Despite a narrow 3-2 Loss to the same Black Bears team in the first game, they made a dramatic comeback in their second game, erasing a 4-2 deficit in the final five minutes to secure a tie. This momentum carried them to victory in their final round robin game, earning a spot in the championship and a rematch against the Bears. The team's speed, grit, and teamwork enabled them to overcome opponents who were generally older, bigger, and more physical. Congratulations to PeeWee Green 2012 on winning the gold medal at the CANAM Challenge Cup MLK Tournament!
North Park Squirt Blue are Champions of the 2014 Jetspeed Division at the 2024 CCM MLK Weekend Invitational in Boston. The Blue team led by coaches Robert Kucera and Clint Murray won 5 of 6, with wins coming against 2014 Tier 1 competition including Mid Fairfield 2014 AAA, Boston Advantage 2014 AAA, and NJ Colonials 2014 AAA which North Park defeated 2-0 in the Final.
It was an awesome display of skill, grit and determination, as Squirt Blue swarmed their opponents from the opening face off with relentless forechecking and backchecking, crisp, creative passing, lightning fast breakaways, perfect execution of set plays and timely top shelf snipes. All players from top to bottom of the lineup contributed on the scoresheet, and the MVP goaltender had a phenomenal 1.16 goals against average for the tournament.
It was a truly fun and memorable experience for players and families of this special team.
A North Park reunion at the junior varsity Fordham Prep - Xavier High School rivalry game!
Pictured above from the 2007-2008-2009 birth years are 9 of 13 North Park current players + alumni competing for the two schools. Of these 13 freshman + sophomores, 4 attend FP and 9 are at Xavier. Included are Slager Cup lifers, Coach Martin's Circle honorees, and current players from 14U Bantams Black.
In addition to being high school competitors, every single one of the 13 are currently playing high-level travel hockey. North Park works diligently to follow USA Hockey's model for long-term athlete development. Each of these 13 continues to demonstrate their life-long love of the game.
Similar-sized reunions occur when other local + regional high school teams compete, including Riverdale Country Day, Fieldston and Delbarton. In addition to the traditional North Park pipeline to various boarding schools, the local high school hockey landscape continues to grow.
In an exciting contest, Xavier earned a 6-3 victory with 2 late empty-net goals.
