Hello families! Have you found it difficult to find a place that your child could just simply play hockey with the friends they live near and see every day in school? Well look no further because the Nipmuc Middle School Hockey team is here to help! For those surprised - YES! - we do have a hockey team thanks to some great Miscoe families over the past years. The season kicks off in mid-October, and the hockey board wants to make sure we've reached everybody that may have interest. There are NO PRACTICES and all games are played at the NESC in Marlboro. The cost is $375/skater or $175/goalie (sweet reversible jersey with last name included!) for parity round + 18 games + guaranteed playoffs. We have a 5th/6th grade team and a 7th/8th grade team, and because your child's main hockey team comes first, we can always use more players to ensure full benches when scheduling conflicts occur. If you have interest or questions, please reach out to nipmuchockey@gmail.com ASAP!
