Welcome to the St. Jude Knights Hockey Club


January 19, 2010 - A big congratulations are in order for all 6 travel teams that participated in the MLK weekend Big Bear Brickyard tournament in Indianapolis, IN. All 6 teams did a fantastic job in this tournament. The squirt bronze team fought extremely hard and won their first three games with shutouts only to lose a difficult double OT 2-1, shootout loss to the eventual champion Winterhurst Warrior team. The squirt silver team played a level up and played all their games against gold and elite teams but playing at this level only seemed to fuel these young men to step up. They did a great job and lost in the consolation match 1-0 against the Afton Americans. The PeeWee silver Albanese team played well against all their opponents but fell in a very physical loss to the Niles Rangers on Saturday night eliminating them by one point from the championship game. The mite silver, peewee silver and bantam silver all were crowned CHAMPIONS!!! The mite silver team scored 2 goals in the final 4 minutes to force a 4 on 4 sudden death OT where they scored and squeezed out a 4-3 OT victory over the Wilmette Braves. The PeeWee silver Frankenbach team coasted to it's championship trophy with a powerful 5-0 victory over a St Peters Spirit team from Missouri and went undefeated in the tournament with 5 consecutive victories. And lastly the Bantam silver team had a great 8-3 victory over the Winterhurst Warriors in possibly their final St Jude tournament for many of the 2nd year bantam players. Special Congratulations to Matthew Moro #87 (mite), Joe Scurek #5 (peewee) and Brad Matejka #18 (bantam) for their MVP awards!!!!! Mite PeeWee Bantam

December 2, 2009 - Congratulations are in order for 2 Knight teams for their successes in Thanksgiving tournaments. The Mite AA team captured the Championship trophy in a decisive 4-1 victory over the hosting Vikings at the Vikings Thanksgiving tournament. With victories over the Vikings and Huskies in round robin play, the Knights made the championship game and executed. Congratulations boys. 
The Bantam AA team came in 2nd in the Chicago Classic after falling just short against a very good visiting Canadien team. After 3 periods the boys trailed by one goal so Coach McGrenera attempted to overtake the Canadiens by pulling the goalie to give the Knights an extra attacker. Unfortunately, this strategy fell short and the Knights lost 3-1. The team also brought toys to donate to the Toys for Tot program.   |
