NBHL COVID-19 UPDATE 4/6/2020

We want to update you on the plan for NBHL Spring hockey program.

As a Board, we have been following the news from Springfield, the Park District and the schools.  It's fluid and ever-changing and leaves us with numerous questions. There have been many discussions about various options to run a spring season. At this time, we have made the decision to refund all Bluehawks registration fees, including spring league and spring skills. We still hope to run a late-spring program, but since it will be different than what was planned, we have decided to go ahead withfull refunds. 

You will receive 100% of the hockey fee AND registration fee back to your credit card. Processing is taking place now which will be complete in the next few days. You should see credits posted to credit cards between 3-10 days after that, depending on your financial firm's policy and processing.  As previously shared, all activities through April have already been cancelled.  

We would like to run a  4-6 week Spring Program beginning in May with 3-4 ice touches per week. These may include a practice, a skills session, a practice game or 3v3. The scheduled tournaments and other local teams' availability to play games are currently unknown. All future programming will require re-registration. We know the kids want to see their friends and get on the ice, but we will certainly take a safety-first approach.

While difficult, I am always looking for some silver-lining in this 'new normal' ... there has never been a better time for family dinners, learning something new, re-prioritizing of what's important, a clean/organized basement, a new workout, or connecting with an old friend. Hopefully you and your family are finding some silver-linings.  

Please stay safe. I'm sure the NBHL family will survive and thrive in the future, just stay at least a hockey stick away from each other for a while longer.

Brad Walker, NBHL President

Thursday, April 2 @ 7pm, join us on the Northbrook Bluehawks Facebook page for a LIVE Q&A Session with JT Compher and Jesse Compher.

Congratulations Mite 1 on your CUHL Championship!

Jr. Spartans doing what they love!

The Jr. Spartans' Mite 2 team's Bennett T. took part in the "Shoot the Puck" game between periods at the Blackhawks vs. Red Wings game on January 5. He was so excited (and nervous) to do it, and missed scoring a goal by less than 1 foot. He was also excited to wear his Jr. Spartans jersey (over his Kane jersey) on the ice.
