Girls Hockey

This year’s Hill Girls Hockey Team is ready for a successful season. “We play tough competition but at the same time, I think we’re a pretty strong team this year,” said Assistant Coach Laura McConney who has been working with the team for the past several years. With a much older group this year, the team and coaches are excited for a successful season with several strong team leaders. “Most of our sixth form are pretty strong, we have a few kids who are going to play division one and a few kids who are going to play high-level division three,” added McConney. 

Boys Hockey

Head Coach Chris Bala noted Hill Boys Hockey’s goal this year is to continue working to develop their skills every day. “In the back of all of our minds is a league championship title, but I think the way we get there is by going to work every day and developing practice and consistency,” said Bala. “If we do that in our practice settings it will spill over into the games and that success will build on itself,” Bala said. The team is really coming together under strong leadership from the sixthth form and is hoping the team can go far this year.

She also added that new players Feir Zhou ’23 and Summer Jin ’23 will impact the middle of the lineup.
