The first installment of Spartan Spotlight features the 2009 Elite Seacoast Spartans.  Throughout the second half of the season we will be spotlighting teams from the organization to find out how they have navigated a tough season due to COVID-19 schedule restrictions. Thanks to Team Manager Sara King for the team write up on the 09 Elites.
The 09 Elite team is not just a great hockey team, they are a family.  Our current group of kids are from all over New England with several traveling well over an hour to play on this team.  The dedication and enthusiastic spirit of the coaching staff is what makes up the heart of the team.  Team practices are individually created around what skills the team is working on developing.  The practices are however always laced with fun to make the kids want to push harder for themselves and the team.
The 2020-2021 season has definitely thrown the hockey world a curve ball, but this team is making the most of it.  The team practices together whenever possible and has even had XBOX NHL tournaments against the coaches!  This season is all about giving the kids the ability to continue to develop as hockey players but also learn how to navigate our ever changing world.  Through the coaching staff and team camaraderie the players have been able to still enjoy what they love the most, HOCKEY!
We look forward to seeing how our 09 Elite team finish off the season.  If you would like your team to be featured on Spartan Spotlight, contact Matt Lane at mlane@seacoastspartans.com
