NHS Boys Hockey punched their ticket to the state tournament for the third year in a row with a 2-0 win over Rochester Lourdes on Wednesday night. Congratulations to our Big 9 and Section 1A Champs.

The team has qualified for the state tournament beginning next Wednesday, March 5, at the Xcel Energy Center. Specific game times and our opponent will be determined this weekend and communicated with everyone as soon as possible. If we play at 11:00 am or 1:00 pm, we will offer a student bus to attend the game as that is during the school day. If we play at 6:00 pm or 8:00 pm, we will not offer a student bus to attend the game as that is after our school day.

Students wanting to attend the game Wednesday 1pm game at the Excel Energy Center will need their parent/caretaker to complete a google form that will be provided soon. This will serve as parent/caretaker permission for students who will ride the bus or drive themselves. Also, prior to leaving the high school for the game, students will need to show to our staff that they have purchased a game ticket. No other phone calls or emails will be accepted to the attendance office.

We are looking forward to a great state tournament for our boys hockey team - Go Raiders!

We will continue to work hard to create, support and nurture a culture of leadership and excellence at NHS. Please reach out to teachers, counselors and administration if you have questions or concerns.
