One of the most popular sports at Eaglebrook is hockey, and it’s not just for experienced players. Some new and inexperienced players would like to develop a love for the game, and they form the 2025-2026 Development hockey team.
So far this year, we have learnt the basics of hockey: how to skate, handle the puck, and learn the rules. A regular practice consists of putting equipment on, then, once on the ice, doing some skating and passing warmups. Then, we learn some strategies, like working on our breakouts. Usually, we end practice with a game, like 3v3 matches. In November, we participated in the Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month Challenge, “Movember Challenge.” We contributed 18 miles, and some players were moved by the cause and ran extra! Since we don’t need the full ice, we usually share it with the Thirds hockey team. We usually give the full ice to them on Mondays and Wednesdays, so we go skiing at the Easton Ski Area. Wish us luck for our second game on February 14, 2026!
