CONGRATULATIONS to Olivia Robbins, a junior forward on the Upper Montgomery Lightning. A three year varsity student athlete, Olivia was named to the Washington Post All-Metropolitan 2nd Team Girls Ice Hockey Team. This is a tremendous honor and Olivia becomes the first Lightning student athlete to be recognized on one of the All-Met teams.
The 2023 high school spring hockey season has commenced. The Lightning are pleased to welcome seven new student athletes into the program for the spring season. Unlike last spring, this season, the coaching staff will be approaching the spring league games with two main objectives. First, to provide a significant amount of ice time to those participating student-athletes. Second, the coaches will be spending a considerable amount of time with the student athletes in-game coaching and teaching.
UML Team White and UML Team Green are both made up of many of the program’s younger and more inexperienced student athletes paired with the seven incoming new student athletes. Sprinkled in to provide guidance are a few of the team’s varsity student athletes. In many games the Lightning will be playing 13 and 14 year old skaters against opposition teams playing several 18 year old AA student athletes. The coaches are more concerned with Upper Montgomery’s compete level and progression as the spring games continue rather than the outcome of the games.
#Our Time, #UML, #Bleed Green, #Go Bolts!
