It was an exciting conclusion to the 2023 spring high school hockey season. Both Upper Montgomery teams improved throughout the spring. The future is bright for the Lightning. Upper Montgomery has an opportunity during the 2023 – 2024 high school hockey season to accomplish history; making the varsity state playoff tournament for the first time in program history. The junior varsity team should be much improved and should again compete for the junior varsity championship.
UML Team Green finished the spring season strong winning its last two games for an overall record of 3-6. UML Team White had an excellent regular season finishing with a 7-1-1 record before falling to Walter Johnson in the semifinal round of the spring league playoffs.
Upper Montgomery also celebrated the 2022 – 2023 team at the program’s season ending team party.
The team and several student athletes were celebrated for their accomplishments:
The 2022 – 2023 team was the first ever in program history (dating to the 2028 season) to win a varsity division one playoff game. It was a thrilling 2-1 overtime victory over St. Johns.
Olivia Robbins became the first Upper Montgomery student athlete to be named to an All-Metropolitan team when she earned second team All-Met Girls honors for her performance last season.
Team captain, senior George Benedick was honored with the team’s Hobey Baker award. This award is presented to a student athlete that recognizes character and leadership in hockey and academics.
Chris Hassett was presented with both the Henri Richard and Art Ross awards for most goals and points for the varsity.
Henry Honacki was presented with both the Henri Richard and Art Ross awards for most goals and points for the junior varsity.
