Georgetown Prep Hockey

To the Georgetown Prep Hockey Community,

Below are some notes regarding the 2015-16 Hockey Season!
But first, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Gregg Marinari and I am proud to be your new head ice hockey coach. Most of you know me already from running the preseason skates last season, and from being around the Rockville Rink with Team Maryland. I come from a tradition of high character and success at the college hockey level and am eager to continue that tradition here at Georgetown Prep. I am looking forward to working with you this season. Go Hoyas!

Team Meeting

There will be a team meeting held on September 14th, 2015 in the Hanley Center. The meeting is open to all students, parents, faculty, and alumni. The purpose of this meeting will be to discuss the culture of the hockey club, the details of the 2015-16 hockey season, and student athlete expectations and requirements. Please spread the word.

Off Season Training

If you chose to not participate in the preseason skates, you are expected to achieve at least 10 hours of active time a week during the 8 weeks leading up to the season. This can be achieved by playing another sport, playing club hockey for a travel team, by working out at the gym, or running/plyo’s/training on your own. We have 1 week of practice together before the regular season games start. Please be prepared for the season and come in shape!

Season Information

2014-15 Season information will be available at the September 14th meeting. Season information includes membership dues, schedules, special events, tournament information, equipment requirements, and player expectations for both the Varsity and Junior Varsity teams.

I believe that is all for now. As I stated before, I am very excited for the season and to have an opportunity to work with all of you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind Regards,
Gregg Marinari

Dear Prep Hockey Team and Parents,

I write today to share important news about a leadership announcement in the Georgetown Prep hockey program. Gregg Marinari has been named head coach of the varsity hockey team.

Coach Marinari has an extensive hockey background. Most currently, he directed the well-respected Team Maryland AAA club team. In addition, Coach Marinari served as the head coach for USA Hockey’s summer development and training programs in Colorado Springs, CO. There, he assisted in planning and managing player development camps and coaching education seminars.

A 2004 graduate of Drexel University, Coach Marinari served as the hockey program’s head coach for ten years and served as an assistant coach at the University of Pennsylvania for the 2014 season.

Please join me in welcoming Coach Marinari to the Georgetown Prep family!

Sincerely,

Dan Paro ’79
Athletic Director

Today’s Game has been rescheduled to tomorrow, 2/18 @ 3:00 pm at Mount Pleasant Rink in Baltimore.

The bus will depart Prep at 12:30 tomorrow for the game.

On January 30, 2015, the 2002 Hockey Team was inducted into the Georgetown Prep Hall of Fame. http://www.gprep.org/page.cfm?p=363&newsid=193

2002 Hockey Team
Under the guidance of first-year head coach Brian Maloney, the 2001-2002 varsity hockey team achieved unprecedented success. With a record of 13-3, the team won the program’s first Interstate Athletic Conference (I.A.C.) championship in school history and finished ranked third in the state of Maryland, only behind Mount St. Joseph’s and DeMatha. Prior to the 2001-2002 season, no Prep hockey team had ever beaten Landon. On January 30, 2002, after losing earlier in the season to the Bears in the Purple Puck tournament finals, the Hoyas dominated Landon 4-1 in the I.A.C. championship game. The team was captained by Rory Hyland ’02, Phil O’Donoghue ’02, and Kyle Keller ’03.

Other inductees were:

Matt Whalen ’69
Rick Macsherry ’71
General Gilmary Michael Hostage III ’73
Jack Railey ’75
Brian Cashman ’85
Greg Tomasso ’93
Bret Thompson ’02

Go Hoyas Hockey!
