After a hard fought weekend in their second season, NHE's U16 girls go on to win the NHAHA Tier 2 Championship. It was a battle that ended with a score of 2-1 with goals from Maggie Farwell in the 1st period and the game winner from Ashley Smail half way through the 3rd. Congratulations to players and coaches!

Excited to see what our U16 and U19 girls will do once regionals are here in the spring!

NHE's Squirt 1s were able to send representatives to compete in a fun Boston Bruins 1v1 challenge over the weekend at the TD Garden. Great fun for all involved!

If you follow local high school hockey (both girls and boys), you’ll notice that the articles in the news are filled with NHE players having great seasons.  We wanted to shout out to our NHE players on the Exeter team that are having a great season.  Congrats to Keegan Knight, Liam Walsh, Henry Fraser, and the rest of the team on their exciting season.  Read about their latest win against Bedford High School on Seacoastonline here.

NHE Midget Coach and Board of Director member Pat McDonough was selected to take the helm of the University of New Hampshire’s Women’s Club Hockey Team.  The Wildcats compete in the highly competitive American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA).    

Pat is a homegrown coach who competed with NHE Midget teams when he was a youth player.  He pursued his passion of coaching shortly after graduating high school.  Over the years, he has coached NHE teams at the Mite, PeeWee, Bantam and Midget levels and earned his USA Hockey Level 5 Certification in 2014.  He was an Assistant Coach for Portsmouth High School from 2011 to 2017. 

From 2017 to 2020, he led the Concord High School Girls Varsity squad amassing a record of 43 wins and 17 losses and culminating with being crowned the NHIAA Division I Co-champions in March 2020.  In 2019 he was selected to coach a girls U14 team at the New England Development Futures Camp.  In March 2020, Pat was recognized as the NHIAA Girls Hockey Coach of the Year for the 2020 season.     

Pat will continue to coach and run skill sessions for the Eagles and looks forward to helping develop NHE’s emerging girls’ program.  Well done, Pat!  

In their inaugural season the U16 NHE Eagles girls team has started the season 3-0 with back to back shutout victories this past weekend over the Seacoast Spartans and Boston Jr. Huskies! The team’s goalie, Rylee Smith, has been outstanding in net allowing just 2 goals over the first 3 games. Lacey Carciero leads the team in scoring with 4 goals and three players are tied with 3 goals apiece – Jenna Connelly, Halle Greenleaf and Peighton Ridge. Hannah Coleman, Kate Deans and Jane Whitten lead the team with 3 assists each. The team is firing on all cylinders and Head Coach Jamie Deans has high expectations for his team in both their Eastern Selects Girls Hockey League as well as in the Granite State League. The team will be tested over the next two weekends with games at the Junior Crusaders, East Coast Militia and New England Wildcats leading into a Columbus Day Weekend Tournament against other top local teams.

Boston, MA: NHE’s Squirt 2 team took the TD Garden ice on Sunday, December 1st in front of a huge Boston Bruins crowd. As the Bruins and Canadiens left the ice after the first period, the Squirt 2 team skated on to the ice and for the next 3 minutes, were cheered on by the roar of the crowd as they passed the puck, scored a few goals, and soaked in the biggest of hockey stages. Likely motivated by the strong showing of the NHE team, the Bruins turned a 1-0 deficit into a 3-1 victory.

After the game, the team and parents were treated to a special meet and greet with Bruins star Brad Marchand. The Bruins scoring phenom took photos, answered questions, and signed autographs for the NHE family. Connor Clifton also took the time to sign a few autographs, and the team also had a chance to See Zdeno Chara up close.

Congrats to the players and their families for a special night full of memories.
