PMHS boys ice hockey blasts Carmel 14-4 in season opener
Fans pack the Ice Hutch for PMHS ice hockey’s first game of the year
PMHS ice hockey came out with a bang in their first game of the season Tuesday with a 14-4 win over Carmel.
After going 8-1 in scrimmages, the Pelicans, led by seniors Jordan Hurd, Henry Smith, Ben Rosenberg and junior Luke Green, were already confident about what the season would bring. They backed it up Tuesday night.
The Pelicans got on the board quickly, scoring in the first three minutes and continued the pressure for the rest of the game. Rosenberg netted a hat trick, as did sophomore Griffin Evans.
“We’ve been waiting for this team to hit the ice for a while, and it was great to be out there in front of a big crowd on our opening night,” Rosenberg said. “Carmel was a good win, and we are confident going into our next games.”
The Pelicans look to keep the momentum rolling as they take on John Jay (Cross River) at the Ice Hutch next Tuesday.

Haha. Interesting as I went to both schools.

Not for nothing, but it should be called the “varsity” ice hockey team. Girls have played PMHS varsity ice hockey in the past and hopefully will in the future. Calling it the “boys” team will discourage girls from trying out and/or playing. As far as I know there is currently only one other very limited interscholastic ice hockey alternative for girls in Pelham, which is a “league” made up of only two teams, one from Rockland and one from Westchester. See https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ice-hockey-section-1s-girls-100049841.html .
Girls should continue to be encouraged and welcomed to try out for and play on Pelham’s modified, JV, and varsity ice hockey teams. Thank you.
