Ken Johnson grew up in Northbrook, played as a Spartan, and continued on to play Division 1 at Miami of Ohio.  Ken has had hockey in his blood ever since while working with the Falcons, Winnetka, Glacier and CYA among others, in addition to coaching and running numerous summer camps.   He has taught players from Pre-Mite through Professional and has been involved with all aspects of growing and running various hockey organizations. 

We look forward to Ken’s contributions to competitive youth hockey in Northbrook.   Please help welcome Ken when you see him around the rink!

We’re fast approaching our 15th Annual Northbrook Hockey Golf Classic.  The annual golf outing is a great way to help support the hockey program and have some fun with friends.

Again this year we will raise much needed funds for need based hockey scholarships for Northbrook hockey players. 

The flyer provides a few details and in the near future you’ll receive more information on participating and also the opportunity to help sponsor the event.

So Save September 20, 2019 somewhere.   Write it on your calendar, enter it in your phone, or just write it on the kitchen wall….. September 20

On June 1st, the Amateur Hockey Assoc. of Illinois (AHAI) passed a rule that will permit tryouts to begin eight days prior to Labor Day Holiday. The reasoning was a desire by clubs to move tryouts away from Labor Day weekend. This will impact our preseason schedule as follows:

Pre-season skates will begin on August 17th.   Tryouts for travel teams will begin on Sunday, August 25th and conclude no later than Friday August 30th.  Optional ice will be available 8/31.  The SportsCenter will be closed for the holiday weekend 9/1 and 9/2.

All Bluehawks travel teams will be playing in the Northern Illinois Hockey League (NIHL) for the 2019/20 season.

Northbrook Hockey League is continuing a wonderful tradition. All Northbrook Hockey Players, coaches, parents and siblings are invited to march with the club in this year's 4th of July Parade!   

Details:  Meet on Cherry Ln just west of Westmoor School at 2:00pm.  The parade starts at 2:30 and features 72 entries. We are in spot #62.  If you are dropping off  your child, the best spot to do so is at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, 1133 Pfingston Rd. The parade ends at Meadow and Shermer.

We'll have some t-shirts, but don't forget to wear your Bluehawks/Spartans hats, shirts … and bring water.

The season will be here before you know it and jerseys need to be ordered in time for your player.
If you were already fitted for a jersey and ordered a new one but still need to pay please contact:
