Winter season under way

Practices started after Thanksgiving break and the teams have been working very hard to get ready for the season.

The girls had a very successful scrimmage on Saturday against Mt. Abe and tip off their regular season on Saturday 12/11 at Northfield and have their first home game on Wednesday 12/15 against Twinfield. The girls are young this year and for the first time in a few years Coach Macallister has a full roster of 12. The JV team has 14 players and is gearing up for their season under first year coach Darcie Jones.

The boys had their first scrimmage last night against Lyndon and looked very good. They played hard but more importantly played together. They are also 12 deep and the boys JV has about 14 guys as well. They tip off the season at Fairfax on Tuesday 12/14 and open at home two nights later 12/16 against Twinfield,

Please note that this year all home games will start at 5:30 for JV and 7:00 for Varsity.

The Boys Hockey team, which appeared on the verge of having 10-11 players this year has grown to a mighty 21 boys. Some have not played competitive hockey before, but Coach Loh says everyone has come in with good attitudes and fantastic work ethics. The team looks to be strong and should be very competitive in the Lake Division this year. They have their first scrimmage at U-32 tonight at 8pm and open up their regular season at North Country and the brand new Jay Peak Ice Haus on Saturday at 4pm. No more trips to Stanstead...They open up at home on 12/15 against Milton at 6pm at Green Mountain Arena.

The Nordic Team is low on numbers as in we only have one High School racer as of now...if you are interested in skiing please stop by my office in the next few days and let me know. The first home meet is Tuesday 12/14.

The Indoor Track Team is also a little low on numbers, so stop by if you are interested in throwing events, high jumping, long jumping, or running...we could use a few more...They open up at UVM on Saturday 12/18 at noon.

See you in the stands. GO WOLVES
