cc Hockey Alumni AppreciAtion nigHt

Catholic Central welcomed home over 50 alumni hockey players for a good dose CC camaraderie and fellowship on January 21. Alumni and their families gathered at USA Arena on the Mitchel Kiefer Memorial Rink, the home of Catholic Central Hockey.

The evening began with CC’s JV White and Blue teams playing before Varsity Hockey battled the U of D Cubs. The varsity game concluded with a hard fought 3-1 victory for the Shamrocks!

Prior to the varsity game, we honored our CC Hockey alumni with an informal pre-game on-ice recognition ceremony. These CC men continue to be wonderful examples and patrons of CC, supporting the rich tradition that is Catholic Central Hockey—a program dating back to 1934. We are grateful and blessed for the presence of team members across the decades, including alumni from CC’s first state championship team in 1959!

Throughout the day and during a post-game reception, alumni, family members, current players, and coaches enjoyed hospitality, food and beverages in CJ’s Brewing Company at USA Arena.

A special thank you to Mike Giordano and Tom Nugent ’78 for their time, effort, attention to detail, and love for CC Hockey, our players, coaches, parents, and alumni. They bleed Mary, Alma Mater Blue and White, and we all are better for it! Both men are true examples of Goodness, Discipline, and Knowledge in action. Go Shamrocks!
