The John S Burke Hockey 2008/09 season is underway. With the graduation of nine seniors ( and starters) from last year's very successful Section 9 Championship team , the Eagles will be depending on many new faces to support the team. Although the season has just officially begun as of November 1st , many of the players have participated in six weeks of fitness training to ready themselves for the season. The training , supervised by coach Trezza jr, included running, stretching, cycling, and circuit fitness dynamics.The season jumps right into action with our first scrimmage Monday 9:15 pm at Ice Time vs Lakeland. This is the first of 5 scrimmages that will compliment a 24 game schedule that includes Section 9 rivals O'Neill, Monroe , Newburgh as well as Catholic School teams as Paramus, Chaminade , Stephinac, Farrell, Iona, Fordham Prep, and St.Joes. The Eagles will also participate in two Tournaments: The Albany Invitational ( overnight) and The Ice Hutch Tournament.
All information pertaining to the season has been sent home by way of the players. As we did last year , we will try to keep the web page updated with all necessary information and game highlights.
Anyone that would like to keep a digital picture record of the season is welcome. Last year's video of the season by Mrs. Pizzano was well appreciated, especially by the graduating seniors.
Looks to be an exciting season. Go Eagles......................
