Try Hockey For Free with Nelson Hockey

Spring Tryouts

WASHINGTON ALL-STAR

2002 birth year added to spring program for the 2010 season.

Registration is now open for any CBHL player looking to take their game to the next level during the spring off-season. Last season, over 250 prospects competed for roster spots including many top CBHL players from Baltimore to Hampton. This season we will be having open tryouts to field birth year teams for 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, U16 and U18.  We strive to provide area youth hockey players the ability to play with other top players from around the region to gain experience, build friendships, and achieve exposure to help them reach the next level in their hockey development.    “My son played forward (and some defense in Boston) for the WAS team last season. He made fast friends with each and every teammate, most of which carry forward to this day. It was truly a fantastic experience for him.  He is VERY MUCH looking forward to the 2010 tryouts, more so than just about anything else in his hockey universe.” -Peninsula Prowl Squirt A Parent.   To register or for more information, please visit http://www.washingtonallstars.com.

Player of the Month

William Margel - Mite Player of the Month

William Margel is a second year Mite A for the Montgomery Blue Devils, and has been competing at the Mite Travel level since he was only six years old.  He was part of last year’s semi-finalist MYHA Mite A team that competed at the International Silver Stick tournament, and has since taken on a leadership role with the club in which he and three returning teammates will head back to St Claire Shores, MI for a second opportunity to capture the title at the end of January.  While William is the team’s leading scorer so far this season, he was taught early on, to be humble and grateful, so don’t expect to see him celebrate too many of his own goals.  Conversely though, he is always the first person to congratulate his teammates after they score.

Although ice hockey has always been his first choice, he possesses a natural love for all sports.  When not on the ice, William plays basketball and lacrosse with his friends and county teams. He is currently in third grade at the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School where he has demonstrated a real pension for math and science, and he recognizes that his dedication to school and his studies are most important.  William is also a fantastic mentor to his brothers, both of whom also play hockey for MYHA.  While William hopes to play for the NHL some day, he would really love the opportunity to start his own camp and provide programs to all children so they, too, can enjoy his passion.
