Welcome to the 2008- 09 Hockey Season
2008-09 High School Hockey Schedules Needed
I am in need of all Boy's and Girl's Varsity High School Hockey Schedules as soon as possible as I am updating the schedule link of the site. You can fax to 701-746-2753 or e-mail to bjggfk@hotmail.com.
Greetings Hockey Fans!
The 2008-09 High School Hockey season is just around the corner and we here at ndhighschoolhockey.com are already gearing up for the season. After the first year of the new and improved site we are continuing to make improvements for the upcoming season which will build on what was rolled out last hockey season. We again are teaming up with Gary Shields and Nick Perez with Dawson-Kidd Advertising and Booya Web Design as they have provided the layout design of the site and the technical aspects of the site. Along with Gary is Daniel Kramer who has done all the developing of the site and links on the site. I am very excited to continue the partnership with Gary and Dan and know our site will be even better than last year which had 123,000 hits from November to March.
What's New
We are pleased to announce that in the 2008-09 season we are adding the North Dakota Jr. Gold High School League to our site. The Jr. Gold Teams in our state will now have the same great coverage as our Boy’s and Girl’s Varsity High School Teams. Lee Haugen, Grand Forks Stallions Team Manager, has stepped up to the plate to take the position of Jr. Gold Statistician for the web site. In addition to getting onto ndhighschoolhockey.com for your up-to-date Varsity Boy’s and Girl’s stats, standings and scores you will also gain access to all the same information for the North Dakota Jr. Gold League. NDHighSchoolHockey.com is your one stop shop for all your high school hockey teams and leagues here in North Dakota.
North Dakota Hockey Live
We are also working hard to roll out adding webcasts of live Hockey games during the season via NDHighschoolHockey.com. Currently, we are working with different companies to bring you 1-2 games per month and would do a few games per year in each of the Girl’s, Boy’s and Jr. Gold Leagues. We are researching live webcasts where a number of people can log onto the site and watch the games live with play-by-play and then after the game we will have these games archived on the site so you can go and watch after the game is actually played. This will be a very exciting addition to the site but this also takes a lot of work and dollars to produce a webcast so we are exploring our resource options and potential sponsorships for the site as well as live web cast games.
As a reminder I want to let everyone know that Gary Shields is part of my staff along with Dan Kramer. If you are contacted by either individual during the fall and winter they are representing me and NDHighschoolHockey.com. This site is independent and is not funded under the North Dakota High School Activities Association, but is recognized by the NDHSAA and Mr. Dave Carlsrud of NDHSAA as the official High School Hockey Stats web site. The North Dakota High School Hockey Coaches Association also has made public that NDHighschoolHockey.com is their official hockey web site as did the N.D. Jr. Gold Board this past September. We are very excited for the upcoming season and with the addition of the Jr. Gold League and the possibility of adding webcasts to the site we feel we are giving great coverage for the hockey athletes in our great state as well as giving all coaches, media, families, hockey fans, former players and coaches, sponsors, officials and scouts an opportunity to follow all the teams, players, scores and standings for all of our High School aged players here in North Dakota.
Good luck to all teams, coaches and players this year and make sure to stop by on a regular basis to NDHighschoolHockey.com for all your hockey information during the season.
