OFFICE OF THE HEADMASTER

November 2018 Dear Hockey Fans, Welcome to another year of Gonzaga hockey. On the heels of the historic “back-to-back double” MAPHL Varsity Hockey I and Varsity Hockey II Championships last season, this year promises to be as thrilling as ever! Please join me in welcoming Coach Sammy Gerdano as our new Head Varsity I coach. He and the assistant coaches have been working hard to prepare for this year and I continue to be impressed with their commitment to their sport, to Gonzaga, and to each other. I wish also to thank Coach Bill Slater for his years of service to the team as Head Coach. We are grateful that Bill will continue to provide support to the Hockey program for years to come.

Athletics at Gonzaga is about being generous with one’s God-given talents, and life lessons like dedication, commitment, and sacrifice. On my collegiate teams, we would often remind one another that, “we don’t play for what our jerseys say on the back, we play for what they say on the front.” To me, this quote demonstrates the total team mentality required of a successful athletic program and the mentality we see demonstrated by our young men on the ice each year. A good hockey player is, by definition, a man for others.

Gonzaga forms young men who are well-rounded in body, mind, and spirit; young men who learn, that there is no success without great effort. In fact, they learn this effort is far more important than wins and losses. The experiences of our students on the ice, in the classroom, on retreats and through Christian service projects, work together in the formation of our young men.

This year’s hockey season promises to be another great one. I hope you will join me in cheering for our Eagles on ice!

On behalf of our students and faculty, Gonzaga’s hockey players and coaches, I want to thank you for all your support of this program and for helping to make athletics such a positive experience for so many boys at Gonzaga. The lessons our students can learn in a program such as this will last them a lifetime, no matter where they go.

Sincerely,

Thomas K. Every II Headmaster

GONZAGA COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL

G

ONZAGA is the oldest educational institution in the old

Federal City of Washington, opening its doors to lay students in 1821 as the Washington Seminary, under the charter of Georgetown College and the direction of Father Anthony Kohlmann. The school, within sight of the Capitol and an easy carriage ride from the White house, flourished for several years.

On one famous occasion, President John Quincy Adams came to Commencement and examined the boys in Latin and Greek.

However, the school had no endowment, and the rules and regulations of the Society of Jesus did not allow the school to charge tuition. Since tuition was necessary to keep the school open, the Jesuits left in 1827. Although the rules against charging tuition were changed just a few years later, the Jesuits did not return until 1848. The Seminary was instantly successful, and the next year, President Zachary Taylor was present at commencement, a sure sign of the school’s good standing.

In May 1858, President James Buchanan signed an Act of Congress that changed the name to Gonzaga College and granted the school a Federal charter. Gonzaga was indeed a college, and actually conferred some bachelor’s degrees before phasing out the baccalaureate program by 1900. The school moved to its present location, North Capitol and Eye Street, NW, in 1871, to be near Saint Al’s, which the Jesuits had built in 1859.

The school occupied space that had been a former orphanage (this accounts for the strange shape of some of the classrooms).

Renamed Kohlmann Hall, this building housed the Jesuit community as well as the high school. The move was nearly disastrous; so few people lived in the area that enrollment dropped precipitously, leading to real questions about the school’s survival. The neighborhood gradually expanded, with new homes appearing in what had been fields.

The number of students applying to Gonzaga increased, and by its 75th anniversary, the school was ready to expand.

The campus expanded with the 1896 dedication of Gonzaga College Hall, which today houses the oldest continually operating theatre in Washington, D.C. A magnificent addition, it still preserves all the scene-changing equipment from that era, and is a virtual museum of theater in its own right. In 1912, Cardinal Gibbons presided over opening ceremonies of the new “Main Building,” now known as Dooley Hall. The façade, matching the theatre, provided a stately image in the busy neighborhood traffic of Eye Street.

This began a long period of peace and stability for Gonzaga.

The surrounding area became solidly Irish Catholic, bringing prosperity to school and parish alike.

The school’s curriculum was based on the universal Jesuit plan of ratio studiorum, found in every Jesuit school in the world.

Emphasizing the classics, the curriculum followed a logical progression of studies. Large numbers of Jesuits taught, and there were few lay teachers. Tuition remained at less than $200 per year until 1956.

By the early 1960s, Gonzaga’s neighborhood changed, and inner city tensions escalated. When Saint Al’s parochial school closed, the building was taken over by Gonzaga and is now Cantwell Hall. When the city erupted in riots in 1968, fires burned all around the campus, but the church and school were spared.

Soon after those riots, however, a bleak period followed in which enrollment dropped and the school once again, began to fail. By the early 1970s, there were serious discussions around closing Gonzaga, or moving its location to the suburbs. Instead, the Maryland Province of Jesuits declared its total commitment to Gonzaga as a school part of and serving the inner city. Positive steps to save the school soon followed, including the dedication of Buchanan Field, Gonzaga’s first home athletic field in 1974, and the addition of the Carmody gym three years later. The 1980s saw the addition of Forte Hall and incorporating Arupe Hall (the building that houses the Academy of Notre Dame) to the campus. Much of this activity and revitalization was directed under the watchful eye of Father Bernard Dooley, Gonzaga’s president for 20 years, who died in 2006. His tenure was capped with the magnificent restoration of the Great Church of Saint Aloysius.

Today, Gonzaga has its largest student body ever and is physically as well as financially sound.

In recent years, the school has again substantially updated and renovated its playing fields and campus, which includes Cantwell and Ruesch Hall, a state-of-the-art academic facility with science, music and technology centers. Its location, which twice in the past appeared to seriously threaten the school’s continued existence, is one of the primary reasons for its success. Throughout the years, Gonzaga has reaffirmed a deep commitment to Jesuit education, and it has chosen to do so in the heart of the inner city, on a street shared with leaders of business and government, and on a block where it ministers to the least fortunate in society. This commitment to remain in the city, to be in media res, at the heart of things, has enabled Gonzaga students to understand the meaning of being Men for Others. A Wall Street Journal editorial referred to the school as “the premier Catholic high school of Washington.” Its excellent academic program and the fervor of its spirit make it a special place indeed.

Ad Majorem dei Gloriam.

THE PURPLE PUCK

F

or 26 years, high school hockey teams from near and far have ventured to iconic Fort Dupont Ice Arena in southeast Washington, D.C., each holiday season to play the game they love, see our nation’s capital, make new friends and reconnect with old ones. It is the mix of high-level competition, camaraderie and an unparalleled setting that make the National Capital Area Hockey Tournament, known as the Purple Puck, so special. With views of the skyline of the world’s most powerful city, Fort Dupont Ice Arena will once again host this annual event, which started in 1993 and has grown into one of the preeminent holiday hockey tournaments on the East Coast.

At its inception, then-president of Gonzaga College High School, Father Bernard J. Dooley described the Purple Puck as “both the first Gonzaga-sponsored hockey tournament and the first hockey tournament for high school teams in the Washington, D.C., area.” This year’s tournament marks the 26th anniversary of the Purple Puck, which has become a prominent destination for top-flight hockey.

This year’s roster of participants in the Prep Division is one of the strongest fields in the history of Purple Puck competition.

Joining the host and 2017 runner-up Gonzaga Eagles will be first-time participants St. Ignatius College Prep from Chicago, Illinois; 2016 champs St. Joseph’s Prep from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; two-time champions The Hun School from Princeton, New Jersey; and 2010 champion Loyola Academy from Wilmette, Illinois, to join strong local representation: 2006 champions Bishop O’Connell of Arlington, Virginia; Archbishop Spalding of Severn, Maryland; and St. John’s College High School of D.C. As hockey has grown, so to has the Purple Puck. This year is no different. In addition to the fierce competition of the Prep Division, six teams will battle for top honors in the Varsity Division— Gonzaga II, St. Joseph’s Prep II (Pennsylvania), Archbishop Spalding II (Maryland), Bishop O’Connell II (Virginia), Robinson High, (Virginia), and Langley High (Virginia).

While hockey is the focus of the Purple Puck, it is the people who come back time and time again that make it special. The Purple Puck is still a volunteer-run operation, and that is part of what makes it a success each year. On behalf of Gonzaga College High School and the Gonzaga Hockey Program, we want to extend our heartfelt thank you to every parent, player, volunteer and fan who has made the first 26 years of the Purple Puck so amazing. The success of the Purple Puck — and the spirit that participating teams experience — ­ are a testament to the kind of families who make up the larger hockey community, and those who make up the Gonzaga hockey family. Here’s to a great week of hockey and to carrying this wonderful tradition forward for years to come!

God blessed me with the opportunity to come to Gonzaga and play with the best high school hockey program in the area. I will definitely come back to the Gonzaga hockey community.”

FORT DUPONT ICE ARENA is proud to be the home ice rink for the Gonzaga Eagles Ice Hockey Team!

I

In addition to serving as home ice for many of the area’s finest youth hockey clubs, Fort Dupont Ice Arena is also home to the Kids on Ice Program, offering opportunities for kids from ages 5-18 interested in hockey, figure skating, synchronized skating and speed skating. Since our humble beginning in 1996, we have grown incredibly, and now serve more than 10,000 kids annually.

2018 will go down in the history of Friends of Fort Dupont Ice Arena as one of its busiest and most successful years. Here is a short list of highlights.

• Early in the year we saw Kids On Ice alumna Maame Biney participate in short-track speed skating at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeong Chang, South Korea. She has become such an inspiration to so many of our participants and skaters around the world. Her infectious laugh and thousand-watt smile — a reflection of the joy of her father — Kweku Biney, is sure to motivate many aspiring skaters to reach their dreams.

• Saturday Kids On Ice® skating classes continue to grow, with our PLUS programs full of skaters making that extra commitment to expand their skating abilities.

• Schools Skate for Fitness, Summer Camps, and DPR experiences all saw a notable increase in participation.

• Our Dupont Dollars enrichment program, now in its second season, continues to attract skaters to participate in a wide array of activities off the ice, including Mindfulness Sundays Yoga & Ice among so many others.

• A group of our figure skaters traveled to the “end of the world,” Ushuaia, Argentina, on a cultural and skating experience they will not soon forget.

• And, last but not least, Neal Henderson, the founder and coach of the Fort Dupont Cannons, was nominated for the NHL’s inaugural Willie O’Ree Community Hero Award in June 2018.

All of this would not be possible without your kindness. For us to continue to provide such amazing experiences to deserving kids, we simply need more help. And as all of our programs continue to grow, we need your support even more.

Please consider donating to the programs at Fort Dupont Ice Arena or volunteering your time and talents. Thank you for your support!

e are both proud and fortunate to be part of a Jesuit school. We have faith in Gonzaga’s mission and the opportunities it affords our sons and want to do what we can to be an “ally in the cause of Jesuit education” by helping local organizations we think support Jesuit ideals. We highlight these programs.

FRIENDS OF FORT DUPONT www.fdia.org ort Dupont Ice Arena is the home ice for Gonzaga Hockey, as well as a number of other high school and college programs. Owned by the National Park Service, the arena is the only public indoor ice rink in the city of Washington. Friends of Fort Dupont Ice Arena, Inc. (FOFD) is the nonprofit organization formed to manage and revitalize the rink, located in southeast Washington, DC. In addition to managing the ice arena, FOFD oversees a community skating program which serves over 10,000 neighborhood boys and girls each year. Kids On Ice (KOI) has grown to include elementary and advanced figure skating, instructional ice hockey and, most recently, speed skating. Additionally, KOI offers free skating opportunities to students from 5 to 18 at more than a dozen District of Columbia elementary, middle and secondary schools. Hockey and speedskating equipment are provided for those enrolled in those programs.

Instructors include qualified volunteers supervised by professional figure skating, ice hockey and speed skaters. Many area skaters — including local high school ice hockey players — serve as volunteer assistant instructors. During the summer, the rink administers youth skating camps in cooperation with the District of Columbia Department of Parks and Recreation, local Police Boys & Girls Clubs,YMCAs and other East-of-theRiver youth organizations.

GLOBAL SCHOLARS FOUNDATION http://globalscholars.foundation/ he recipient of the 2017 Purple Puck Tournament donation, the Global Scholars Foundation is an education and youth empowerment program of H Street Community Development Corporations. The program strives to provide the youth of its program with the necessary skills to become neighborhood change agents and global influencers. The program provides students ages 14-17 from DC public schools and DC public charter schools an opportunity to broaden their understanding, respect and global competency by learning the culture and language of other countries. Scholars are immersed in a one-year intensive study – delving deeply into the history and culture of select countries. Before our scholars travel anywhere, they set about touring Washington, D.C. to discover their own rich history and the treasures in their backyard. During the course of the program, students travel to other states within the U.S. to absorb regional culture, visit museums, and see exhibits. Scholars also attend literary events featuring local writers; hear elected officials share their vision for the city; and are inspired by teachers and community leaders who support their vision. The teens develop an appreciation for cultural differences; they begin to understand global issues like international conflict, health care, education and environmental concerns. They begin to see themselves as a part of something larger, a part of global solutions.
