The 44th Northwood Invitational is here, and it is an important occasion for the Northwood Community. The three divisions – Prep, Varsity, and Girls – will compete at the Olympic Center from January 13–15 in hopes that all three Northwood teams can hoist the championship trophy.
Thirty-one teams will compete this year, with twelve in the prep and varsity divisions and seven in the girls. Many people dedicated a great deal of time and energy to make this tournament possible. Coach Gilligan, who also serves as the athletic director and coach of the girls’ team, has organized an amazing tournament. In addition to his other responsibilities, he found a way to make all this possible for not just the players but also the families and spectators.
Every team on campus wants to raise the trophy, but the Girls’ hockey team is especially driven to win another Northwood Tournament and repeat as back-to-back champions. Assistant Captain Laura Dyke ‘25 says, “The girls have worked hard, and I’m super excited for this upcoming weekend. This is something everyone looks forward to.”
While everyone typically has an incredible time at the tournament, it is essential to note that both the Girls’ and Prep teams are having their senior night on Saturday, the 13th, so come out and show the seniors some support! Go Huskies!
