It llall started a few weeks ago. I've always been interested in local sports, and living close to Gloucester, I heard quite a bit about their high school hockey team. So, I decided to dive in and learn more about it. My first step was simple, just getting a feel for the team's presence online. I found some basic info – the team's page, their roster, and some stats. Nothing too fancy, but it was a start.
Then, I stumbled upon something about a "February Performance camp with Sally Walton." Sounded interesting, so I dug a bit deeper. Turns out, it was an event from a while back, but it gave me a glimpse into the kind of training and development programs they have.

I also noticed they mentioned using cookies on their website. It's a common thing, but it reminded me of how important it is to be aware of our online privacy these days. Anyway, that was just a side note.
The real excitement came when I found out about a fundraising event at Decklyn's. It was a chance to support the Gloucester High School Hockey program. I thought, "Why not?" It seemed like a great way to connect with the community and show some support.
Getting to Know the Team
- Found out Derek Geary is the head coach. Sounds like a solid guy.
- Their mascot is the Fishermen. Pretty cool, right?
- And the school colors are Crimson and Cream. Classic.
I also read something about the history of women's hockey. It's come a long way, but there's still a lot of room for growth. It got me thinking about how important it is to support these teams, no matter your gender.
Through all this, I learned about the Gloucester Rangers, the local hockey association. They seem to be a big part of the hockey scene in the area. I even checked out some info about Gloucester High School itself. It's a grade 9-12 school with English, French Immersion, and ESL programs. Seems like a pretty diverse place.
One thing that really struck me was the importance of making practices and games enjoyable. Incorporating new drills, letting players showcase their skills – it's all about keeping things fresh and engaging. And, you know what I discovered? It works like magic!
So, that's been my little adventure into the world of Gloucester High hockey. It's been a mix of online research, community events, and some personal reflections. I started knowing nothing, and now I feel like I've scratched the surface of a really interesting local sports scene. It just goes to show, you never know what you'll find when you start exploring something new. I feel like I've gained a lot from this experience.
Hope you enjoyed this little journey as much as I did. And who knows, maybe I'll see some of you at a Fishermen game sometime!
