East Islip Chiefs Hockey Team Celebrates Making Club History
The East Islip Chiefs Hockey Team was recently celebrated for their remarkable season at the May Town Board Meeting by Islip Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter and the Islip Town Board.
In 2022, the Chiefs Hockey Team made club history by clinching Gold at the prestigious CAN/AM Championship in Lake Placid. Last year, they continued to make waves by securing a spot in the 2023 Chipotle-USA Hockey High School National Championships.
This year, the team's winning streak reached new heights with several historic victories. They claimed their first-ever New York State Amateur Hockey Association (NYSAHA) State Championship, a monumental achievement for the program. Their success carried over to the USA Hockey National Championship in West Chester, Pennsylvania, where they finished with an impressive record, earning them the #2 rank in the Nation for Division II.
"Through hard work, resilience, and exceptional talent, the East Islip Chiefs Hockey Team's achievements this season are nothing short of extraordinary, bringing immense pride to our community. On behalf of myself and the Town Board, congratulations to all the players, coaches, and staff for their outstanding performance," said Supervisor Angie Carpenter.
