The Capitals aren’t the only ones returning to the ice after a long summer . . . The Wilson High Tigers are returning to the ice as well. Coach Adam Davis passed us news of their upcoming tryouts tonight (Monday) and Wednesday — open to all public high school students in the District in grade 9 through 12:
In less than a week, public high school ice hockey is returning to the District of Columbia. The program is still in its fledgling stages in DC, but the Tigers are looking forward to their second season with Wilson High School as the primary sponsor. On September 22nd and 24th at Fort Dupont Ice Arena, the Tigers’ coaching staff will be bringing back our returning players and anticipating the arrival of many new faces.
Coming off a successful season — the team was 4-6-2 and competitive in every game despite having only four seniors and a rookie goaltender — things are looking bright for 2008-2009. With a strong core of returning players we are looking to add depth and enthusiasm. Thanks to local fundraising and the generous contributions of time and money from our team parents, we have the opportunity this season to provide two full-ice practices a week as well as a full schedule of games for our varsity team.
This year’s Wilson team will be open to any player who attends the DC public school system in grades 9-12. We are not just looking for players with significant experience ‚Äî anybody interested in learning how to play the exciting, up-tempo sport of hockey is welcome to join us on the ice. To find out more (including tryout times, required equipment, and expectations) please contact us at hockey.wilson(at)gmail.com.
