Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS Hockey Club Wins State Championship 

Post#1 » by G R E Y » Mon Feb 26, 2018 3:56 am

Not sure if this is the right place, but I thought it deserved some recognition. Eleven days after the devastating school shooting that killed 17 and left a dozen injured, this young group of players chose to play and won as the underdogs. It's a great story of resilience and light; they dedicated the win to the victims. Once again something related to this school had me in tears, this time happy ones.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas won the Lightning High School Hockey League Tier 1 state title with a 7-4 victory Sunday over Jesuit.

Fourth-seeded Stoneman Douglas upset top-seeded East Lake 3-1 in an elimination game Sunday morning before rolling to the victory over Jesuit later in the day.


Stoneman Douglas won the championship 11 days after the shooting deaths of 17 people, mostly students, at the school.

"We came into the game knowing we had to give it our all to get the win, and that's what we did, and now we get to bring the trophy back to the best high school in America," Stoneman Douglas forward Joey Zenobi told WBBH-TV in southwest Florida.
