Continuing their Homecoming tradition from years past, New Trier Hockey players enjoyed a beautiful fall day scattered across the local community in an effort to fight pediatric cancer. On Saturday, October 5th, players from all six teams – Green, Blue, White, Gray, Junior Varsity, and Girls - helped to raise both funds and awareness on behalf of the Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation.

Cash donations, both collected at various local merchants throughout the community, as well as an online campaign, total $14,000 this year (and over $54,000 to date). The money raised will help to make Bear Hugs and other great programs for kids and their families fighting cancer, possible across Illinois.

We are grateful to these local businesses for their support. Hometown Coffee and Juice in Glencoe, Dunkin’ Donuts in Glencoe, The Grand Food Center in Glencoe, Starbucks in Winnetka,  and Wilmette, Panera Bread in Wilmette, Three Tarts in Northfield, Peet’s Coffee in Winnetka, and Walker Brothers Original Pancake House in Wilmette., and The French Market in Wilmette.

As part of our yearly tradition, New Trier Hockey Club collected gently used coats during the holiday season through the One Warm Coat drive. This year we were able to donate 125 coats to Cornerstone Community Outreach in Chicago, which is committed to providing shelter and finding homes for families and individuals who are at the greatest risk of being excluded from necessary services.

Proud of all the players from New Trier Hockey Club & Loyola Academy Hockey Club for raising over $15,000 for Misericordia Heart of Mercy at the annual Quadheader.

“It’s a great cause,” said New Trier Green head coach Bob Melton. “Any time we can raise money for something like Misericordia it’s terrific".

Misericordia supports children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and is located in Chicago.

Thank you to all for supporting a great organization.
 

2017-2018 New Trier Hockey Season

2016-2017 New Trier Hockey Season

See the link below to access the video highlights shown at the banquet.

NT Green beat Providence Friday night in front of a record breaking crowd of 11,192 people with a score of 4-2.

It was a remarkable season for Green who won the Nike Bauer Invitational Tournament, the Chicago Showcase, the Loyola Thanksgiving Tournament, the Hoosier Cup, the SHL President's Cup and finally the State Championship.

"With a 67-9 overall record and no losses to any Illinois team, this will go down as one of the best seasons ever for an Illinois hockey team." - Brad Burton, team manager.

In what has become a Homecoming weekend tradition, New Trier hockey players once again joined forces with the local communities in the fight against pediatric cancer.  On Saturday, October 15th, players from the boys’ and girls’ teams spread out in Winnetka, Glencoe, Wilmette and Northfield to collect donations for the Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation.  Established in 1992 and named in memory of eight-year-old Barrett "Bear" Krupa, who died after a courageous five and a half year battle with Wilms Tumor, the Foundation’s mission is to eliminate pediatric cancer and to provide hope and support to those who are touched by it.  Through its “Bear Discoveries” and “Bear Hugs” programs, the Foundation funds cutting-edge research and provides for the immediate needs of the children and families battling the disease. 

New Trier Hockey’s efforts on October 15th, combined with an online challenge (won by the Blue Team!), raised a remarkable total of $16,500, which easily surpassed last year’s record total.  One hundred percent of the money collected went directly to Bear Necessities and will be used to brighten the lives of Chicago area pediatric cancer patients and to provide essential support for their families. 

As in prior years, the success of this year’s fundraising event would not have been possible without the generous support of residents in the New Trier communities, players’ families and friends, and the following local businesses where players collected donations on October 15th:  Dunkin Donuts in Glencoe, the Wilmette French Market, the Grand Food Centers in Winnetka and Glencoe, No Man’s Land Pizza & Grill in Wilmette, Once Upon a Bagel, Panera Bread in Wilmette, Ridgeview Grill, Starbucks in Winnetka, Glencoe and Wilmette, Three Tarts Bakery and Café, and Walker Bros. Original Pancake House in Wilmette.  Please remember to support those who support the Club and its philanthropic activities!
