Full Schedule
Team Overview
Pingree girls’ ice hockey participates in the Eastern Independent League alongside Beaver Country Day School, Berwick Academy, Dana Hall School, Newton Country Day School, Portsmouth Abbey School, and Winsor School. Other common non-league opponents are Groton School, Hebron Academy, North Yarmouth Academy, Proctor Academy, St. George’s School, and Tilton School. The girls play a 22 game schedule and host an annual holiday tournament in December. This tournament is a highlight as it involves local public and private schools as well as a skills competition. Pingree coaches emphasize teamwork and respect, teaching all skills of the game from skating to shooting, and strive for the girls to improve every time their skates touch the ice. We are looking forward to another successful season on the ice!
Pingree girls have gone on to successful college hockey careers at the varsity and club level at: Buffalo State, Connecticut College, Cornell, Middlebury, RPI, Salve Regina, Sacred Heart, Skidmore, St. Lawrence, St. Michael’s Trinity, Union, University of Maine, University of New England, and Williams College.
