2024 NH High School Hockey
NH D3 Hockey All-State Teams
We see youth hockey teams playing 50-75 games per season here in New Hampshire. Then as the kids grow and become young men and women the funnel narrows. Players move on and make their high school hockey teams, and a major shift takes place. Not only does the competition level increase, but far fewer games are played. Before you know it, a high school career has passed and players have played maybe 70-90 games in their entire high school careers.
These are the days of their lives. Playing alongside schoolmates, neighbors, and best friends, it doesn’t get better than that. So, bringing the very best effort every night, lifting up teammates on and off of the ice, and having all the fun you can have along the way is what it’s all about.
Perhaps, you and your mates make a run in the playoffs, or play for a title. Maybe you graduate as one of your school’s all-time great players.
But most likely, you will graduate with a bunch of players that you will spend the rest of your lives looking forward to the times when you can get together and lace them up for a skate. Or just to sit somewhere together and remember, fondly, the bad, the good, and the hilarious.
So, to those players who are recognized this season on the NH D3 Hockey All-State Teams, my sincerest congratulations. As for D3 NHIAA Hockey, I thought the D3 Championship Game, from start to finish, was the best of the 4 games at SNHU Arena on Finals Day.
Congratulations to all the D3 teams with players considered and placed on All-State Teams. These awards don’t happen in a vacuum. They are not based on solo efforts in a team environment. These things come as a result of excellence on the ice, nurtured over the years by family sacrifice, player sacrifice, teamwork, connection with coaching, and perseverance. Job well done.
Congratulations to Coach Garzia of Kearsarge-Plymouth on the Coach of the Year honor, and what a tremendous season they had.
Congratulations to Berlin-Gorham on completing an undefeated season, and winning the D3 Title. They have been to the D3 Title game 9 times in the last 12 seasons. They won four of those, and lost four of those, and were Co-Champions in the man-made year that everyone wants to forget. I counted 33 State Championships in Boys Hockey for the city of Berlin (Notre Dame, Berlin, Berlin-Gorham).
To all of the teams playing NHIAA Hockey, thank you for another great season of high school hockey. New Hampshire High School Hockey is a great place to play.
