Girls' Varsity Hockey Album



The Team

The Brewster Academy girls' ice hockey program has experienced considerable success since its inception as a varsity sport during the 1998-1999 school year. The team competes at the NEPSAC division I level in the most competitive high school hockey league in North America. The hockey season runs from early November until early March. The team is on the ice six days a week and plays between 30-35 games each year. In addition to a rigorous regular season schedule, the Lady Bobcats play in the Phillips Exeter Thanksgiving Jamboree, the Watkins Tournament at Cushing Academy, and the Phillips Exeter New Year's Showcase. These tournaments provide great exposure and an opportunity to compete against some of the top high school hockey teams in the United States and Canada.

Every year we graduate players who move on to experience success at the collegiate level. Many graduates have earned All-American honors, have captained their college teams, and have gone on to play at the national level. Former Lady Bobcats are currently playing for Boston University, University of Connecticut, Harvard University, the University of New Hampshire, Union College, Amherst College, Bowdoin College, and Middlebury College.

Home games and practices are held at the newly renovated Pop Whalen Ice Arena. In addition to on ice practices, all players are required to participate in an off ice training regiment. The state of the art weight room and training facility at The Smith Center helps players fulfill their athletic goals.



Philosophy

Fun, Character Development, Skill Development are three aspects that govern how the hockey program is run. Athletes must enjoy what they are doing and look forward to practicing and playing hard. In order to create a positive learning environment, the hockey team participates in team building activities. These activities include going on hikes, working out in the on-campus climbing gym, sharing team meals, and implementing community-based programs. Having the girls focus on and achieve goals that are not directly connected to hockey helps foster a degree of trust and a concept of team that cannot be accomplished only on the ice. For example, this year the hockey team will participate in the Relay for Life. The girls will not only participate but they will assume a leading role in the Relay by fundraising, presenting information during All School Meetings, and running a Skate For The Cure day. The final aspect of the program is Skill Development. The majority of the girls on the hockey team will move on to play either DI or DIII college hockey. With this in mind, each practice, off-ice session, and the summer workout program is designed to maximize development and prepare the girls to play at the next level. Practices focus on individual skill development, understanding and implementing systems, and developing game sense. This approach not only produces outstanding hockey players, but more importantly, self-assured young women of impeccable character.
