Welcome to the 2008-2009 season of the NorthEastern Midget Hockey League! We celebrated a highly successful 2007-2008 season with 17 teams competing in the end-of-season playoffs. Bay State Buccaneers, Griffin Flames, and Wallingford Hawks took the hardware for the Division 1, Division 2, and Division 3 championships, respectively, at the culmination of our 10th season as a League. We now have challenges from Connecticut as they have started their own League as well as consideration of gasoline prices and travel commitments. These issues were addressed at our Executive Board meeting in April and changes have been made to accommodate travel costs (please refer to the Executive Board minutes posted on the website).
We have our Annual Meeting scheduled for September 6th in West Springfield, of which all of you should have received an invitation from Joan Maxam, VP and Secretary of the League. We have many teams returning and some new teams entering into the League, including a second team from the founding organization, Saratoga Blue Knights, as well as the CT Chiefs and the returning NE Falcons. We regret the loss of 3-4 Connecticut-based teams from the League but we celebrate the arrival of new teams who will clearly augment the quality of play for competitive teams and improve on the great product we put on the ice each and every weekend. Good luck to those teams not returning to our League and a hearty welcome to the new and returning teams as we enter into our 11th season of the NorthEastern Midget Hockey League with enthusiasm and continued development of midget hockey in the Northeast US.
