In the final minutes of study hall on Monday, Headmaster Mr. Michael Maher sent the following message to students:
Dear Northwood Community:
I have officially declared tomorrow, January 21, 2020, a Headmaster’s Holiday! Jack Dugan ’17, a sophomore at Providence College, a Hobey Baker Award candidate and currently the leading scorer in NCAA Division I hockey, has agreed to help me with my announcement:Our hockey teams and their coaches worked so hard this past weekend, and they deserve some downtime after our hockey tournament. I’ve been impressed with the work of all of our students and faculty this school year and take this occasion to acknowledge their collective commitment. Go Huskies and enjoy the day off!– Mr. MaherTuesday’s Schedule

The “Headmaster’s Holiday” is a nearly annual tradition at Northwood that is much-loved by students and welcomed with mixed feelings among faculty.
Jack Dugan, the Northwood alum Mr. Maher enlisted to help announce the Headmaster’s Holiday, is having an amazing sophomore year for the Providence College hockey team, which is currently ranked #10 in the nation. The Vegas Knights draft pick has been nominated for the Hobey Baker Award due to his strong play this season. He is currently the leading scorer in the nation.
Dugan is the second Northwood alum in two years to be nominated for the Hobey Baker Award, given to college hockey’s top men’s player. Corey Mackin ’13 was nominated last year, his senior year at Ferris State.
