SECTION 1 ICE HOCKEY HISTORY


The history of High School Hockey in our area spans over 3/4 of a century dating back to Mamaroneck winning the first ever WIIHL championship in 1932. It includes multiple leagues (HVHL, RCPSAL, WRPDIIHL) and teams from New Jersey & Connecticut playing in leagues with the Rockland & Westchester teams in the old days. Much has changed over the years including Rockland leaving Section 9 to join Section 1 in the 80's, Putnam County schools adding hockey and joining Section 1 in the 90's, and one Duchess County school adding hockey and joining Section 1 in the 2000's, but one thing has remained constant. Hockey is one of the greatest sports to watch and has the most passionate fan-base around.

The history seciton of this website is an ongoing process and will grow as time goes on, so please check back often to see what new info we have. This history has been gathered from many sources including current & former coaches, officials, players and long-time fans of hockey in our area, but I wanted to give a special thanks to a few individuals who have been gracious enough to provide me with a great deal of historical info for this site. Those people are:

    • Dean Berardo - Former head coach at Eastchester and Brewster
    • Mike Chiapparelli - Mamaroneck head coach
    • Harold Gutmann - Former High School Hockey beat reporter for The Journal News
    • John Orlando - WRPDIIHL President and former head coach of Suffern
    • John Rostawanik - Former head coach at Woodlands and former assistant coach at Suffern
    • Michael Schoenbach - Minor official in Rockland County
    • Jim Tozzo - New Rochelle head coach
    • George Valis - Minor Official in Westchester/Putnam/Duchess County
    • Stephan Valis - Minor Official in Westchester/Putnam/Duchess County
