Our Chinook Squirt team took 2nd place this weekend at the Rushmore Thunder in the Hills tournament, and we could not be more proud!

We played up a division, had only two lines of skaters while facing teams with much deeper benches, and battled through a set of back-to-back games yesterday to make it to the big one this morning. They pushed all the way to the end and finished the championship game with a hard-fought 9–11 score.

This is a perfect example of why we work so hard to bring hockey to the Northern Hills. Every mile, every late night, every practice, every piece of progress at Hillsview is for moments like this.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, shared our mission, donated, volunteered, and believed in what youth hockey can become here. We would not be able to give our players these opportunities without you, and we are so grateful.

And a huge thank you to board member and supporter Gregg Fullerton for capturing these incredible photos of our team! (Families, check out
