About the Moorestown Quakers Ice Hockey Club:

The Moorestown Quakers Ice Hockey Club was formed in the Fall of 2000 by a group of passionate Moorestown hockey enthusiasts that wanted to provide Moorestown youth the opportunity to play ice hockey to represent their community and schools in local competitive leagues.  Over the years, the club has grown and commanded a respect in the region for outstanding talent and sportsmanship.  The Quaker teams have enjoyed great success through a variety of league and tournament championship wins.  Our teams proudly represent Moorestown as a "club" team.  Although we are not directly affiliated  with the Moorestown Township Public School District, we enjoy a cooperative relationship.  A number of players on our teams bring travel team experience.  Limited opportunities for "out of district" player participation exists from time to time.  Many of the Club's players go on to play college and semi-professional hockey at a variety of levels in the United States and Canada.

Our non profit club fields tiered teams (i.e. A, B, C divisions) at the Varsity, Junior Varsity and Middle School levels based on talent and turnout levels in the Fall and Spring seasons each year.  Currently, the Varsity and Junior Varsity teams compete in the South Jersey High School Ice Hockey League, an independent scholastic hockey league organization.  The Middle School teams compete in the South Jersey Middle School Ice Hockey League organized by Flyers Skatezone.  The Middle School program is used for player development to feed into the high school program.

In New Jersey High Schools, Ice Hockey is a sanctioned sport by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association.  Many public, private and parochial high schools across New jersey compete in ice hockey as accredited schools under competition governed by NJSIAA similar to many other high school sports.  Eventually our club would like to see ice hockey become a Moorestown High School sponsored sport and sanctioned by NJSIAA.

The club was originally called the Moorestown "Quakes" Ice Hockey Club (short for "Quakers" but rumored by many to refer to the hard hits of earthquakes)  in reference to Moorestown's Quaker founding and history.  The Moorestown Township Public School District mascot is "The Quaker".  In 2005, as part of an effort to become more integrated with the Moorestown Township Public School District, the club's name was changed to the Moorestown Quakers Ice Hockey Club.  Although the majority of our players go to school in the Moorestown Township Public School District, we also have players from other area schools as well.

The Club proudly represents all in Moorestown who love the game of ice hockey including players, families, friends and fans.

Sanctioned Ice Hockey at Moorestown High School?

 

 As many of you know, various discussions over time have been had about getting ice hockey as a school-sponsored sport at MHS and sanctioned with NJSIAA.  At our annual banquet on 5/16/08, Ron Schwinn provided a brief update on this topic and handed out a short document providing some background and status. 

We are interested in player and parent feedback, opinions and questions on this subject.  Comments and questions can be directed to the email alias:  mhsicehockey@moorestownquakes.com.
