On Sunday January 17th the Amherst College Women’s Hockey Team hosted a Junior Jeff’s Event at Orr Rink in Amherst.

The purpose of the event was to facilitate a relationship between aspiring hockey players and educate girls about what it's like to play hockey at the collegiate level.

35 girls ranging in age from 4 to 14 years old, from both the Amherst Hockey Association and the Connecticut Jr. Falcons turned out for the great event.   Each "Junior Jeff" was paired with a big buddy from the AWH team for a 1 hour on ice session that included drills, games and a shootout.  Following the ice session the girls were split into three age groups to tour the locker rooms, play an off ice dry land pre-game warm up drill "Four Square" and to view part of the NCAAA National Championship video form the 2009 season.

The event was a great success and everyone had a great time.  AHA wants to thank the Amherst College Hockey team for the great hospitality and a great time for all.

We also want to encourage everyone to attend Women’s game at Amherst College, they play Bowdoin this weekend and all are welcome to attend. Here is a link for the remaining season schedule. https://www.amherst.edu/athletics/teams/winter/icehockey-w/schedule
