Hi there, I have a passion for ice hockey and I wanna continue playing it during my high school years. However, I'm also considering joining a military high school. Does anyone know if these schools offer ice hockey events or matches?
Absolutely, a number of military high schools do offer ice hockey as part of their athletic programs. However, as you might imagine, it varies significantly from institution to institution across the country. It's not uncommon for military schools located in regions where ice hockey is popular, like the Midwest or Northeast US, to have robust teams. Schools may offer interscholastic competitive play, participate in regional leagues, or even just offer it as a recreational activity for students.
Something to keep in mind is their facilities. If the school has its own ice rink or easy access to one, it's a good sign they probably have an ice hockey program. Conversely, a school without those facilities may not.
The best first step would be to research the specific military schools you're interested in or considering. Check out their athletic and extracurricular offerings on their websites. Additionally, feel free to contact their admissions offices, as they should be able to tell you definitively what sports are offered. Just make sure that any school you consider will support both your athletic and academic goals. Best of luck in your ice hockey ambitions!
