Congratulations to Jenison Varsity Girls Hockey team for making history on Sunday as the first girls high school hockey team in West Michigan! The non-funded club sport team, recognized as a varsity sport in its first year of competition, is made up of multiple school districts but Jenison has the most girls, according to Athletic Director Michael Johnston. “This is bigger than a hockey game,” Team Manager Jessica Patera wrote in email about the first game. “It’s about opportunity, growth, and opening doors for future generations of girls who dream of playing high school hockey.” Have a great season, girls hockey!
