PREP

The Prep team rolls into South Kent hungry for two wins. They enter this weekend 5th overall in the Prep Hockey Conference (PHC), and 2nd in the East Division. South Kent is 1st in the East Division, and 4th overall. Earlier in the season, these teams played in Lake Placid and split 1-1. Coming off a championship weekend at the St. Andrew’s MacPherson Tournament, the Huskies are looking to keep their momentum headed in the right direction as the season comes to a close. They will play South Kent at 4:15 pm on Saturday and at 11:15 am on Sunday morning. “We are super excited for this weekend. Any time you get to play South Kent, you know you have to bring your game and be prepared to play physical. This weekend is huge for us in terms of the league standings, so we are bringing our best,” said Cooper Plotts ‘26.  

VARSITY

The Varsity squad is looking to stay hot as they come off a 3-1 league weekend. They are 11-2 in the New Year, and things are looking promising. The Huskies have played South Kent three times this season and are 1-2. This weekend is guaranteed to be a battle and will be very competitive hockey. They play South Kent at 7:00 pm on Saturday night and then 2:00 pm on Sunday afternoon. “I know the boys are fired up for this weekend. We have been playing very well in this half of the season, and this weekend will be a measure of our toughness and ability to work together,” said Jack Pitts ‘27. 

16s

The 16s are looking to end a 4-game losing streak against a very competitive and fast South Kent team. They played South Kent earlier this season at the PG Fall Classic and lost 6-2. However, they have improved since then and are looking for revenge against South Kent. They will play at 2:00 pm on Saturday afternoon, and then at 9:00 am on Sunday morning. “Last time we played them, we weren’t ready as a team. This time I feel that we have gelled really well and are prepared to go into battle together. It would be huge to sweep South Kent at this point in the season for our confidence as a team,” said Russell Astuto ‘27. 

This weekend will be a test for all three teams, and the expectation is 6-0.
