Barnstable High School Girls Ice Hockey

BHS Girls Hockey Skate Night 2009
Barnstable High School Girls Ice Hockey sponsored the 4th Annual Skate Night on Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at the Kennedy Rink in Hyannis and it was a rousing success. Over 170 girls from ages 5-14 came out to skate for free with players and coaches comprising the 2008-2009 Barnstable High School Girls Ice Hockey Varsity and JV Teams. This free event offered girls free skating, free skate rental, free hot chocolate, a free goodie bag, and much more. The goal of this annual event is to encourage young girls in Barnstable to learn to skate and/or continue skating and maybe someday play on a Barnstable High School Girls Ice Hockey Team. No skating experience was necessary and no hockey equipment was required, only skates and a smile!

Another Successful Raider Cup Golf Tournament

The 5th Annual "Raider Cup" Golf Tournament was held on Friday August 15, 2008 and for the fifth straight year it was a resounding success. The tournament, benefiting the Barnstable High School Girls Ice Hockey Team & the Richard A. Sullivan Memorial Scholarship Fund, was held on a sun-splashed afternoon at the Hyannis Golf Club and a great time was had by all. Both organizations thank all sponsors, auction and prize contributors, cash donors, and volunteers for another great tournament and we look forward to seeing you at the 2009 tournament.

With a 5-1 win over Milton High School at the Bright Sports Center at Harvard University, the Barnstable Red Raiders won the MIAA Division II Girls Ice Hockey State Championship. Barnstable becomes the first Cape Cod team in history to win a state championship in girls ice hockey. The Red Raiders jumped out to an early 2-0 lead thanks to first period goals by juniors Kristen Logan and Abby VanWormer. Those two goals were all that the Red Raiders would need. Milton scored in the first minute of the second period to make it 2-1, but Barnstable wasted no time and responded with three unanswered goals to bring the score to 5-1. Stephanie Scarpato scored two goals, and Michelle Manning added one, culminating a dominant season by Barnstable's formidable first line of Scarpato, Manning, and Katie Kirwan. Natalie Cohen stood out in net for Red Raiders and, with the championship, won her fifth career MIAA State Championship. Pivotal in Barnstable's win was its penalty kill, which was anchored by defensemen VanWormer, Claire Toffey, and Jessi Barron. The second line of Logan, Lynne Donoghue, and Lisa Cunningham also contributed to the penalty kill and managed to prevent Milton's Molly Golden, one of the state's leading scorers, from rushing the puck up the ice.

The State Champion Red Raiders would like to thank all their parents, coaches, siblings, friends, fans, teachers, school administrators, community members, and members of the press for their continued support throughout this successful and memorable season.
