What is it Like to be a part of Cape Ann Youth Hockey? This.

Posted on by Nichole S.

Such a tremendous video! Back in November, Cape Ann Youth Hockey hosted teams from Montreal, Canada for the annual Sal Grasso Friendship Tournament.  As we’ve shared in the past, this tournament has a long, rich history of friendly, yet competitive hockey between our hometown teams at all levels and the Westmount teams.   Thanks to some organizing by Patti Nocella and the phenomenal work of https://luxelifeproductions.com/ we are now thrilled to share this video highlighting the weekend.

It is easy to see just how special our hockey community is and that teammate bonds are as special off the ice as they are on.  As a league who does not often have the opportunity to play on home ice…this tournament is also special because it gives the Cape Ann community the chance to rally, cheer, and support these skaters…and for an entire weekend at that.  And, rally and support they did.  The smiles, camaraderie, laughs, and high fives are priceless.  The volunteers, organizers, coaches, parents, families, rink staff, fans…and skaters…all play important roles in this tournament and it is thanks to all that this group of hockey players are creating childhood memories to last a lifetime.

Please enjoy this video….and enjoy this peek into the life of our CAYH hockey community.

Bravo By the Sea

Posted on by Pat D

As you know, we attended last week’s Crush Cancer event at Tonno. Many local businesses contributed to the fundraising and we will be trying to support these places whenever we can. Today we decided to go to Bravo By the Sea in Manchester as they were very supportive of the Crush Cancer efforts. We met Ella and Nick and had a lovely late lunch. Jim got the chopped salad and we ordered a meatball pizza. Delicious! Friendly! Nearby! Winner Winner. Thank you Bravo for your support.
