Congratulations Mite A1 Team on Winning the Valley League Championship

The Mites A1 team won their Valley League playoff bracket to be named champion of their 10-team division with a 5-0 victory over Framingham. The playoff run was lead by stellar goaltending from Jonathan Zhou, who recorded a shutout in both the quarterfinal and championship games. Christian Zhou lead the team in scoring, with goals in all three playoff games, including a hat-trick in the semifinals. But it was an all-around offensive effort throughout the playoff run, with consistent scoring contributions from several players, including Sebastian Chantreau, Benny Hurley, Chris Hodgdon, Andrew Malone, and Sanjay Viron. The defense, anchored by Elizabeth Doyle and Claire Keating, shut down opposing threats while receiving strong support from Thomas Perrotti, Torsten Cohen, and Joey Swift, while Tommy Gallagher played his heart out to control the pace of play. A huge congratulations to the Mites A1 team on their hard fought and well-deserved championship.

U10 Girls Win Bruins Mini 1-on-1 -- On to the Garden!!

ARLINGTON U10 GIRLS WIN DISTRICT 9 CHAMPIONSHIP IN BRUINS MINI 1-ON-1 DISTRICT PLAYDOWNS TOURNAMENT, ADVANCING THE GIRLS TO THE FINALS AT TD GARDEN!

Congratulations to our Arlington U10 Girls Caroline Spencer, Serena Li, Milly Hartman, and Persey Wheeler, who delivered extraordinary performances this past Monday, showcasing skill, determination, and teamwork that propelled them to victory against some of the district's top players in an updated 3-on-3 team format. The team excelled with aggressive offense and near flawless defense, while goalie Persey Wheeler delivered a “lights-out” performance, not allowing a single goal during regulation time in any of the six games played.

Despite a narrow loss in a sudden-death shootout in their second game, the girls prevented elimination and rallied to defeat Newton and Winchester before facing an undefeated Waltham in a thrilling two-game finale. This included a dramatic five-round shootout win in the first game and a 2-0 championship-clinching victory in the second.

Their hard-fought win secures them a spot at the TD Garden on December 20th, where they’ll represent Arlington in the Bruins Academy Mini 1v1(3v3) tournament against top team each of Massachusetts 10 Districts statewide.

As these talented skaters prepare for this incredible opportunity at TD Garden, Arlington is immensely proud of their achievements. Best of luck to the team as they showcase their skills and represent our community on the big stage!

Go Arlington U10 Girls!

Congratulations Mite AAA Team on Winning the Falmouth Tournament!

AHC's Mite AAA won the championship game on Sunday in this weekend's 2024 Falmouth Thanksgiving Memorial Tournament. After 3 straightforward wins to reach the finals against host Falmouth and then Acton-Boxborough, they had to play a tighter game the second time against Cape Cod Canal including stopping two penalty shots to hang on and win. Playing the same lines all weekend in the 3 v 3 format, Arlington really progressed as players and teammates, making life long memories on and off the ice in the process.

Congratulations PeeWee AAA Team on Winning the Falmouth Tournament!!

Congratulations to AHC's Peewee AAA team on winning the Falmouth Thanksgiving Day Tournament!  Participation in the Falmouth Tournament is a long tradition of AHC that has been attending the tournament for over 50 years.  

This year the Peewee team won the tournament, going 3 - 0, and beating Waltham 5 - 1, Falmouth 4 - 1, and then defeating Waltham 3 - 2 in overtime in the final game to win the tournament.  In the Championship, Arlington went down 1 - 0 early in the second period, but fought back against a tenacious Waltham team to tie the score 2 - 2 at the end of the third period.  Arlington scored the game winner on their first shift, just over a minute into overtime.  For most of the peewee players, this was their first time winning the Falmouth Tournament.  Arlington was lead by goaltender Dante Cusanno, and Zach Sheehan who scored two goals in the game, including the game winner in overtime.
