NoVA Ice Dog News

Interested In Coaching This Fall/Winter?

03/10/2020, 2:45pm EDT

By NVHC

The NoVA Ice Dogs are currently seeking coaches for our fall/winter 20/21 travel (CBHL 10U+ and Girls 10U+) programs. Because these programs require tryouts (currently scheduled for April 25-29, 2020), we need to identify those coaches who will serve as leads and assistants for tryouts (and will then be assigned as head and assistant coaches for teams once players are sorted and selected). Similar to our Spring Selects program, we will be using our new application system for all coaches, standardizing our process across all programs. Coaches must complete this application regardless of previous experience with the Ice Dogs!

Interested candidates can follow the link below to complete the application process. The cut-off date for head coach applications is Friday, March 20th. The cut-off date for assistant coach applications is Friday, March 27th. If you’re interested in providing coaching assistance during tryouts, we would also appreciate receiving applications by the 27th as well but will accept applications for practice coaches throughout the spring and summer.

Applications will be reviewed by the NoVA Ice Dogs Hockey Committee (CCHL Director, CBHL Director, Girls Director, Growth Director) and the 8U Program Director and initial coaching decisions announced prior to the conduct of tryouts. Final assignment of head and assistant coaches within an individual program will be determined by their player’s placement following completion of tryouts. All coaches selected as potential Travel coaches (pending player decisions) will be expected to participate in and support the travel tryouts that are scheduled to occur April 25-29, 2020 at the Mt Vernon Ice Rink.

The application process should take 5-10 minutes for potential assistant and practice coaches our 10-20 minutes for potential head coaches. Click here to begin the application process: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/20-21_winter_coach_application

NoVA 14U Blue Wins 2019-2020 Joe Loschiavo Memorial Cup Division I Tournament

NoVA 14U Blue ended a memorable season as champions, winning the 2019-2020 Joe Loschiavo Memorial Cup 14U Division I Tournament held in Frederick, MD over February 29 and March 1.

During the Capital Corridor Hockey League (CCHL) regular season, NoVA Blue earned a 8-1-3 (71GF 30GA) record, with its sole loss to NoVA Red and two ties against NoVA White. Together NoVA Red, Blue and White finished the CCHL regular season first, second and third, respectively, to represent the CCHL 14U Southern Conference in the CCHL Division I Tournament.

At the tournament in round robin play, NoVA Blue faced the top three qualifiers from the Northern Conference: the league’s top defense, Easton White; the league’s top offense, Howard Navy; and scrappy Baltimore Green. NoVA Blue played hard and earned a berth in the elimination round as the fourth seed with a 1-1-1 (6GF 7GA) record and 13 points under Buffalo Scoring System.

In the semi-finals, NoVA Blue put forth its best game of the entire year in a back-and-forth rematch against NoVA Red for a hard fought 2-1 victory. In the first period, Blue scored first from a strong side deflection sent from the point, and Red responded immediately with a powerful drive from the ensuing face-off. Midway into the second period, Blue went ahead with a well-placed backhander along the ice to just inside the far post. Both goalies played exceptionally well stopping all shots near and far for the balance of the game.

In the finals, NoVA Blue pounced on Howard Navy gaining a 4-1 lead by the second intermission. Howard Navy responded unconventionally by pulling the goalie and applying incredible offensive pressure for nearly the entirety of the final fifteen minutes, but in the end, the scoreboard showed 5-4 in favor of NoVA Blue. Champions!

Throughout the tournament, NoVA Blue was led by elite defenseman and team captain, Rodrigo Mattioli; indefatigable center and alternate captain, Liam Chmura; explosive forward and alternate captain, Noah Gizzarelli; potent scorer, Vincent Cirenza; and outstanding net minder, Brendan Short.

NoVA 14U Blue was a very young team, comprised of just three second year bantams (1) and eleven first years (2), including a first time player (3) and a core group (4) who have had tremendous success playing together over the past four CCHL seasons, tallying three Southern Conference championships, two Division I championships and one as finalist, for a combined record of (52-6-8).
