The Northwood Invitation is a tournament that Northwood hosts every year at the Olympic Center, hosting 19 teams across three divisions. The Prep, Varsity, and Girls teams will all be competing throughout the weekend. The games begin on Saturday the 18th, and the championship games will take place on Monday the 20th.
Last year the Girls team beat Appleby College in the Championship game, while the Prep and Varsity teams both fell short. This year all three teams are confident that they can bring home a championship.
As far as must-watch games go, the Prep Boys have Senior Night against Nichols on Saturday at 5 PM, the Girls have Senior Night against Rome on Saturday at 3:15 PM, and the Varsity’s game against CP Dynamo on Saturday at 11:45.
“I’m excited to play in the Northwood tournament because I love the fact that our team is hosting it, and I have never been a part of a tournament hosted by my team,” said Charles Pigeon ‘26. “Unfortunately, last year I had to sit out with a collarbone injury, so I am excited to help the team bring home a championship this year.”
“Last year, being a first-year student, I experienced my first Northwood tournament, and it was great to have so many people from school come support us,” Sophia DeAnzeris ’25 said. “Being on a team that previously wasn’t affiliated with my school, it was a lot of fun to finally experience a home ice tournament representing the school, especially in the championship game. I’m most excited to have the chance to be back-to-back champions this year and play in my final Northwood Tournament.”
