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.”

Each student brought something unique and special to the play. It was wonderful to watch each student’s creativity and confidence grow throughout the rehearsals.

Two South Kent School alumni have recently signed with teams in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Elijah Hughes ’16 was selected 39th in the 2nd round of the 2020 draft by the Utah Jazz. Myles Powell ’16 has signed an unaffiliated free agent contract to the New York Knicks.
