Dear Hockey Fans, Welcome to the 25th Annual Gonzaga National Capital Hockey Tournament! It’s hard to believe that this is the ‘Silver Anniversary’ of The Purple Puck. I have always enjoyed the fast-paced action of hockey and its combination of speed, agility, power, and skill. Few other sports, if any, can produce the same energy and excitement. This year’s tournament features a collection of talented teams that will surely deliver the thrills that only hockey provides. I’d like to offer a special thanks to the sponsors and supporters of The Purple Puck. This wonderful event would not be possible without you. Good luck to all the teams! And may God bless all of you during this holy Christmas Season. Sincerely,

Fr. Stephen Planning, SJ President

OFFICE OF THE HEADMASTER

November 2017 “You find that you have peace of mind and can enjoy yourself, get more sleep and rest when you know that it was a one hundred percent effort that you gave – win or lose.” ― Gordie Howe Dear Hockey Fans, Welcome to another year of Gonzaga hockey. On the heels of the historic MAPHL Varsity Hockey I and Varsity Hockey II Championships last season, this year promises to be as thrilling as ever! The Gonzaga Hockey Team, Coach Bill Slater, and the assistant coaches have been working hard and I continue to be impressed with their commitment to their sport, to Gonzaga, and to each other. Athletics at Gonzaga plays a large part in our goal of fostering cura personalis – that hallmark of Jesuit education – care of the whole person. Gonzaga forms young men who are well-rounded in body, mind, and spirit; young men who learn that giving one hundred percent is more important than wins and losses. The experiences of our students on the ice, in the classroom, and on retreats and Christian service projects, all work together in their formation into outstanding young men. A good hockey player is, by definition, a man for others. 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. I look forward to cheering alongside each of you this year for our Eagles on ice! Sincerely,

Thomas K. Every II Headmaster

GONZAGA COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL

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.

20 / 2017-2018 GONZAGA ICE HOCKEY PROGRAM

“I can’t believe my time at Gonzaga is almost over, it was a great four years with all my Gonzaga brothers in the hockey program.”

For a quarter of a century, high school hockey teams from near and far have ventured to iconic Fort Dupont Ice Arena in southeast Washington, DC 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 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 that 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, DC area.” 2017 marks the 25th anniversary of the local tournament that has become an international destination for top-flight hockey. This year’s roster of participants in the Prep Division is the strongest field in the history of Purple Puck competition. Joining the host Gonzaga Eagles will be defending champions St. Joseph’s Prep from Philadelphia, PA; two-time champions The Hun School from Princeton, NJ; 2012 champion St. Ignatius from Cleveland, OH; 2010 champion Loyola Academy from Wilmette, IL; three-time champion Georgetown Prep of Bethesda, MD; 2005 and 2006 champions Bishop O’Connell of Arlington, VA; 2016 finalist Loyola High School (Montreal Quebec); four time Colorado State Champions, Regis Jesuit of Aurora; and Archbishop Spalding of Severn, MD. The schools that have won

every Purple Puck from 2010 through last year will be on the ice for the 25th tournament this year! 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, five teams will battle for top honors in the Varsity Division – Gonzaga II, Loyola Academy Maroon, Robinson High, Archbishop Spalding II and St. Joseph’s Prep II. The 25th Purple Puck will also feature an expanded roster of girls teams competing for the Director’s Cup – Holy Cross from Kensington, MD; Stone Ridge from Bethesda, MD, and DC’s Georgetown Visitation and St. John’s. There will also be an exhibition game between the Gonzaga Junior Varsity team and the Fort Dupont Cannons. The action across all of these divisions promises to be exciting. While the hockey is the focus of the Purple Puck, it is the people that 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 that have made the first 25 years of the Purple Puck so amazing. Especially John Cotten, who has served as tournament Director since 2010. John’s dedication and leadership have been instrumental to the tournaments success. We are grateful for John’s love of hockey and the spirit with which he welcomes everyone to this annual event. THANK YOU, John, for all you do. Here is to a great week of hockey, and to the next 25 years of this wonderful tradition.

Fort Dupont Ice Arena

is proud to be the home ice rink for the Gonzaga Ice Hockey Team!

n addition to serving as home ice for many of the area’s finest youth hockey clubs, Fort Dupont Ice Arena is also home of the Kids On Ice program, celebrating its 10th Anniversary—quite an achievement. Since our humble beginning in 1996, we have grown incredibly, from serving fewer than 100 kids to more than 10,000 kids annually. But, there’s still more work to do. Your support goes directly to fund this and the other many free programs and classes we offer to the youth of our community, many of whom have little else to look forward to. Please help us by making a tax-deductible financial contribution so our Kids On Ice programs can continue without interruption. You will be helping many children by your generosity: • Your gift of $500 can sponsor a school group skating class, including bus transportation; • $250 can sponsor a school group skating class that does not need transportation; • $100 can sponsor an individual child in a 10-week skating class; • $50 can provide hockey and speed skating equipment we are lacking; • $25 can provide much needed learn to skate equipment, such as gloves and helmets. But more important than the amount is your participation—so please send whatever you can to help us keep our programs going. Donations can be found in the brochure rack in the lobby of the rink, or you can make a secure credit card donation on our web site, www.fdia.org. We will send you a thank you receipt for tax purposes. Did you know • Fort Dupont Ice Arena is operated by a nonprofit organization, Friends of Fort Dupont Ice Arena? • That half of Fort Dupont’s annual budget is met through donated funds from people like you who want to help share the love of skating sports? • That while the Fort Dupont Ice Arena is a federally owned facility, we do not regularly receive government funding for our programs or for facility maintenance? 63 / 2017-2018 GONZAGA ICE HOCKEY PROGRAM

HOCKEY FOR OTHERS

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 that we think support Jesuit ideals. We highlight these special 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 speed-skating 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-the-River youth organizations.

GONZAGA HOCKEY STUDY BUDDIES

With the collaboration and direction from the Fort Dupont staff and the Gonzaga’s Christian services, Gonzaga parents and community school leaders, the program runs weekly at Fort Dupont Ice Arena classrooms. The program provides enrichment to local Cornerstone School 4th-6th grade students every Monday afternoon before practice from November-April. Our hockey players tutor and spend time with the children. Gonzaga families donate snacks, and the one-onone sessions are individualized for the needs of each student.

USA WARRIORS ICE HOCKEY PROGRAM

www.usawarriorshockey.org • www.facebook.com/usawarriors

he USA Warriors Ice Hockey Program was founded in 2008 and is designed to give military members and veterans who have been injured or disabled in the course of their service the chance to play ice hockey in an environment that is suited to their needs. The program supplies injured service and disabled men and women with hockey equipment and trains them in the skills needed to use the sport of ice hockey as a rehabilitation tool to overcome both physical

and mental disabilities sustained in defense of the United States of America. The goals of the program are to: •

Educate, train, and motivate injured, ill and disabled service members and veterans to participate in the sport of ice hockey adapted to their abilities • Offer the game of hockey as a means of developing self-confidence, self-reliance, and concentration for those injured in service, and to assist them in rebuilding the mainstream lifestyles and sense of normalcy they were accustomed to prior to their disability • Integrate people with disabilities with people without disabilities in order to promote awareness of challenges and to encourage teambuilding • Encourage the formation of “USA Warrior Hockey Programs” locally and nationally • Educate the general public about adaptive sports and USA Warriors Ice Hockey and to promote societal awareness of the sacrifices participants made in defense of our Nation. Gonzaga Hockey proud offers our time and donations to this incredibly inspiring group. We have participated in charity hockey game supporting Wounded Warriors Program and USA Warriors Hockey Team, provide in kind donations for USA Warrriors events, and of greatest value, our Gonzaga players have participated with the team for on-ice practices with standing and sled teams.

GLOBAL SCHOLARS FOUNDATION

lobal 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, DC 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. 64 / 2017-2018 GONZAGA ICE HOCKEY PROGRAM
