EJEPL CHAMPIONS! Greater New Haven Warriors Squirt A team defeated the Midstate Mustangs in the EJEPL championship game on Sunday, February 3rd in Aston, PA. Congratulations to all the players and their coaches on a great weekend of hockey and for bringing home the GOLD!!!!

Squirt A1 finished as the runner-up in the MLK Ice Breaker Tournament in Lewiston, ME.  After going 2-1 in pool play, Squirt A1 advanced to the semi-finals and beat the Maine Coast Storm 3-1 to advance to the finals against the Lewiston Auburn Maine Nordiques.  The kids fought hard and left it all on the ice in the final game that went into 2 five minute sudden death overtime periods, 4 on 4 and then 3 on 3.  With 3 minutes left in the second overtime, Squirt A1 lost 3-2 and received the runner-up banner.  

On Saturday night, the team attended a Montreal Canadiens Alumni game sponsored by the tournament.  Assistant Coach Jeff Naples got to skate with Guy Carbonneau, Stephan Richer, and several other Canadiens alumni.   

Great weekend for the team. 

GNH Warriors are PeeWee A1 Champions of the 2018 Simsbury Holiday Tournament defeating Simsbury 6-3. 
The team went 2-1 in pool play to avenge their only loss against Simsbury.

Mite A played in the 2018 Simsbury Holiday Tournament on December 27 and 28th and defeated the Southern Stars, Simsbury Mite A and the LI Gulls to win the Championship!!

This year, the Greater New Haven Warriors Youth Hockey League decided to donate toys to the children at the Milford Boys and Girls Club and Toys for Tots through the help of WTNH Gr8 Holiday Give. For two weeks, the Travel teams and Mite Development participated in a friendly competition to see which team would donate the most presents.   The teams donated over 150 toys. The Bantam A team donated 35 toys, which was the most of any team. Additionally, for his birthday, a Mite Development player asked all of his friends to donate a toy to the cause in lieu of birthday gifts. On Thursday, December 13, WTNH highlighted the GNH Warriors players and their giving spirit on the 6 o’clock news.  Appreciation goes out to the parent managers, who helped communicate this great event to our families. Abundant gratitude to all the families that contributed. It was great to see the Warriors' families come together, and donate this time of year to families less fortunate.

The Mite A team played in the Battle of the Biscuit Jamboree this weekend and won the cup! They were undefeated! Congratulations!!
