END OF SEASON RECAP
Another great season of hockey has sadly come to an end.
 
What a great finish with Illinois Girls Tier II being represented well…..3 teams, 3 organizations (Bruins, Stars, Hawks) representing Illinois at Central Districts Championships, 2 teams (Glenview 16u & Hawks 14u) being crowned the champs and 1 team (Bruins 19u) taking 2nd place with 4 Illinois teams from 4 organizations advancing to Nationals, as the North Shore Warhawks 16u team was awarded an at-large bid.

This accomplishment is a phenomenal testament to what our Girl's organizations and the Girl's hockey community have done to grow and better the sport for our female athletes!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!
