We are excited to share two fantastic ways for you to get great apparel and show off your South Kent School spirit!

It is with a heavy heart that I share that George Hodges Bartlett passed away on March 1, 2021. The third Headmaster of South Kent School, Mr. “B” epitomized the values of SKS.

Fifth former and SKSA goalie Arthur Smith shares his tribute to Willie O'Ree.

Among those in the running for “college hockey’s most prestigious award” are South Kent hockey alumni Alex Limoges '16, Pennsylvania State University forward, Keith Petruzzelli '17, Quinnipiac University goalie and Detroit Redwings draft pick, Shane Pinto '18, University of North Dakota forward and Ottawa Senators draft pick, and Jacob Schmidt-Svejstrup '16, University of Maine Forward.

Seniors on the U18 Hockey team had the opportunity to hear from several young alumni, who played hockey at South Kent School and have gone onto college, during a Young Alumni Panel on the evening of Friday, Jan. 29.

Learn about what has been happening over the past months and what is planned for the second half of the year.

The story of Hector’s journey to South Kent is really the story of the broadening of the New England Prep hockey program as artificial ice spread the sport around the country. The Los Angeles Kings had joined the NHL in 1967, and soon many youth hockey programs such as the California All Stars were formed.

The first rink was on Hatch Pond, just off shore from where the crew docks are now. According to the 1927 SKS yearbook, “about the middle of the first winter, the low rink boards disappeared entirely beneath heaps of snow and ice, and the rink itself was a series of mountain ranges. One painful night was spent in an attempt to mend matters by flooding the rough spots with water obtained through a hole in the ice.”

In this season of light, reflection, and renewal, all of us here at SKS extend to you our wishes for a Merry Christmas and happy and healthy holidays.
