We are thrilled to have been able to hold this event, the first in our new Futures Division – https://nghlhockey.com/futures – in Omaha, and need to acknowledge the tremendous support from Bryan Knaus, the girls’ hockey director at NGHL Member Omaha Lady Lancers. Bryan and his team lead the task of securing ice and referees for us. We also have a huge shout-out to the Lady Lancers 19U team who were volunteer scorekeepers at this weekend’s games.
Congratulations to these division winners…

FALL CLASSIC, ROCHESTER
Teams from New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, North Carolina, Massachusetts, and Maryland joined in for a competitive weekend event. A hotbed for colleges with women’s hockey teams, there was an opportunity for the players to tour some schools. College coaches came to watch 14U, 16U & 19U teams battle it out at Bill Grays Iceplex. Take a look at all the action on our Instagram Story Highlights.
The Futures Division focuses on supporting 10U and 12U teams with competitive events. This division was launched in Omaha over Columbus Day where we welcomed 11 midwest teams. The Fall Classic, Futures East was the first Futures Division event on the east coast.
The east coast Fall Classic was held at Breakaway Ice Center in Tewksbury, November 11-13, 2022. A big 12U Red Division matchup was one of the highlights of Day 1 and Boston Advantage held off the Worcester Jr. Crusaders for a hard-fought 1-0 victory. Caroline Allen’s unassisted first-period tally proved to be the difference in the game as Vienna Noble earned the shutout win in goal for Boston.

![](https://nghlhockey.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/BA-vs-Worcester-2-1-1024x683.jpg)
The Advantage went on to post a 4-0-0 record in the tournament, beating the Vermont Glades twice in a row to earn the championship. They won the first matchup, 2-1, before skating to a 3-2 shootout win in the finals. The championship game was an epic battle, tied 2-2 at end of the game and then went into a 5 min overtime. Teams came out of the overtime still tied and moved into a shootout. BA’s Noble stopped two of three Vermont shots in the shootout to again pick up the win. Makenna Pratt and Sadie Lizotte scored for Boston in the title game. This was a spectacular game to watch. Our NGHL team was glued to the boards watching this play out! These athletes did a great job in handling the pressure of this championship game.

In August Florida Alliance parents Hunter and Cheryl Brown experienced an unthinkable tragedy – they lost their beautiful 16 y.o. daughter McKenna to suicide. As you can imagine, her teammates, coaches and families were in the process of navigating the shock, confusion, and despair of loosing McKenna when they arrived at our Dawg Daze of Summer event at the end of August.
During such a devastating time, conversations of mental health are important and valuable. We were fortunate to have Premier Hockey Federation player and Metropolitan Riveters Captain Madison Packer join us to help with this conversation. Madison has an empathic ear and a lifetime of hockey experience that our players can relate to. Madison is committed to having hard conversations about mental health after her own struggles and wanted to share her story with our players. You can read her recent interview in the UW Badgers news MyWords where Madison candidly talks about her struggles – https://uwbadgers.com/news/2022/6/13/andy-baggot-mywords-madison-packer.aspx Although Madison is not a mental health professional, she is someone our community of players can identify and connect with.
We appreciate her commitment and generosity in sharing her time with the NGHL athletes.

- Coaches Panels– Our NCAA coaches shared their hockey path – each had a unique journey – and talked about NCAA recruitment.
- Sports Nutrition Seminar – You are what you eat. Salve Regina WVH coach Erika Silva-Adams shared the basics of how to fuel an athlete’s body.
- Strength and Conditioning Seminar – Off-ice training is necessary to make it to the next level. Middlebury WVH coach Ashley Salerno holds an ISSA Strength and Conditioning Certification and shared age-level appropriate exercises/routines.
We look forward to having this development program next spring.

The Blue Division Championships were held in St.Louis over Presidents Day weekend, February 19-21, 2022. Games were held at the stunning Centene Community Ice Center, home of the Lindenwood Lions & ACHA teams, NGHL member St Louis Lady Cyclones, and the practice rink of the St. Louis Blues. The Centene Community Ice Center opened in September 2019 and features four NHL-sized ice rinks including the Barn, a covered outdoor rink. This Members-only event hosted teams in 12U, 14U, 16U, and 19U divisions.
We were fortunate to have lots of women’s hockey to enjoy during our stay at Centene – both the Lindenwood Lions WIH and Lindenwood ACHA played over the weekend. Also, a big “thank you” to Lindenwood Lions Coach Kristi Kehoe who hosted a “Hockey in College” talk on Sunday.

HONORING OUR SENIORS
At the end of each season, the NGHL honors our seniors with a rose ? ceremony. Part of our mission is to promote the advancement of elite players to the collegiate level. Some of the seniors acknowledged today will go on to play D1 or D3 hockey, others will play ACHA or intramural hockey. These are all exciting and valuable experiences that will add tremendously to these athletes’ post-secondary education.
We also strive to foster opportunities for women to pursue a career in hockey with the goal of ultimately becoming leaders within the league and member organizations. We sincerely hope that these seniors will use their youth and college hockey experience to improve youth hockey programs in their community, showing the next generation of girls how they can succeed in the sport. Players, there will always be a pair of young eyes ready to look up to you and they will marvel at your skills and experience. Support and nurture them!

CHAMPIONSHIP RECAP
The Red Division Championships were held in Denver, CO over the weekend of February 4-6, 2022. Games were held at the Family Sports Center and the South Suburban Sports Complex – a new 206,000 square-foot sports complex that opened in February 2021 with one of the best views!
Our Members-only event hosted 21 teams in the 14U, 16U, and 19U divisions. We saw some amazing hockey with some nail-biting finishes.
