The Bozeman High School varsity hockey team will compete at the USA Hockey National Championships, March 17-21, in Reston, VA.

“We are thrilled to be invited to this national tournament.” says Dave Weaver, BAHA Hockey Director. “It is an honor to compete at this level, and an experience this team will never forget.”

The Montana Amateur Hockey Association, the organization which oversees USA Hockey sanctioned programs in the state, approached Missoula, Helena, Billings, and Bozeman with the invitation. BAHA’s Hockey Director Dave Weaver, who led teams to eight different National competitions while at Galactic Ice in Pennsylvania, did not hesitate to accept on behalf of the team.

“This team has worked hard all season,” said Head Coach Derek Porter. “It is a great opportunity and I couldn’t think of a better group of kids to represent Montana.” Along with Hockey Director Weaver, Coach Porter, assistant coaches, and managers make up the support system helping send the team to the championships.

Weaver explains that team managers are organizing the trip and working to raise funds to cover travel and communal expenses. The team has created a GoFundMe site to accept individual and corporate donations, and will be holding a raffle during BAHA’s annual Winter Classic tournament during Valentine’s Day weekend.
