Girls Teams | Ice Hockey
We are proud to offer girls ice hockey beginning this year. Our open-air rink has hosted women's hockey teams for many years and now welcomes our own ANC girls to the sport.
As a new sport, we do not yet have a competition schedule. We will spend this inagural year in speed and skill training, testing our skill in scrimmages and intramural games.
In the proud tradition of excellent ANC athletic competition, we have high hopes that our fledgling team will soon be holding their own against local women's ice hockey teams.

Scores and Recaps
02/15/2012 V ANC 1 v Hill School 2
It was another good game with Hill School. It was a tough first period with Hill getting 2 goals in close succession. ANC rallied in the second period and fought into Hill’s zone more, and they defended well, ending that period with no goals scored on either side. Then in the third period Defense Kendra Kuhl (Captain) rushed in front of Hill’s net and powered in a goal right over the goalie’s shoulder. The girls pushed themselves even harder for the rest of the game, but were unable to pull off another goal. The girls did a great job of clearing the puck, and getting in position for shots and rebounds. This was the last game of the season, and ANC girls had a banner inaugural year. They ended the season with 4 wins, 2 ties, and 5 losses. Great job! Everyone is already looking forward to next year’s ice hockey season. Watch out!
02/14/2012 V ANC 1 @ Upland Country Day School 4
ANC girls met up with Upland again, this time on Upland’s ice. The girls fought hard and, though it was mostly a defensive game, they did work their way into the offensive zone. In the second period Defense Helen Bochneak pushed into Upland’s zone and tossed one into the net high for a goal. Goalie Heather Schauder saved 10 of the 14 shots on goal. Defense worked hard throughout all three periods, and the forwards all improved at hustling back into their zone to help clear the puck. The girls have come a long way since their first game against Upland, and that was clear in yesterday’s game. What a tremendous season for this new team -they’ve pulled off 4 wins and 2 ties in 10 games. That’s an accomplishment!
02/08/2012 V ANC 1 v Lawrenceville Prep School 2
On home ice ANC girls battled back and forth with Lawrenceville maintaining a 0-0 score until the end of the second period. Then Defense Kyla Rogers whipped into Lawrenceville’s zone and went top shelf for ANC’s first goal of the game. The girls continued to fight for shots on net, working the rebounds as much as they could, but came up empty. Lawrenceville got two goals in the third period. The second goal came just seconds before the end of the game, leaving ANC no chance to even up the score. The girls were disappointed to end their winning streak, but kept up their spirits. We look forward to our last two games of the season to have some more fun on the ice! Tuesday, 2/14, 4:00pm (@ Upland), and HOME on Wednesday, 2/15, 3:00pm v Hill School. Come support the team!
2/1/2012 Varsity ANC 0 v. Hill School 0
Our best game to date! Evenly matched in size and talent we battled to a 0-0 tie giving Goalie Heather Schauder her third shutout in a row. It was a team effort with few defensive lapses on our part. After going 0 wins, 2 losses, and one tie in December -and only scoring one goal in that time period -we closed January with 4 wins and one tie, and lots of goals.
1/27/2012 Varsity ANC 5 v Bucks County Ice Angels 0
Even more impressive than the ANC girls’ 4th win in a row and the 2nd shutout is the way the team has so clearly improved in skill, strength and confidence with each game. Captain Kendra Kuhl scored 3 goals for her first hat trick and Alternate Stacey Cronlund powered through with 2 of her own. Center India Hitchcock holds on to the lead in assists, assisting the captain in one of her 3 goals. Each team member had at least one shot on goal, and each shift managed to keep the puck in the offensive zone much of the time. We’re putting on a great show! Come see the girls play their next two home games: Wednesday, Feb 1st at 3:15 and Friday, Feb 3rd at 4:30pm.
1/21/2012 Varsity ANC 4 @ Bucks County Ice Angels 2
3rd win!!! It’s an unbelievable achievement. ANC girls did it again. The Angels came on very strong in the first period. Goalie Heather Schauder kept us in the game by blocking all of their 7 shots on goal. ANC rallied by the second period, and our first two shots were goals. Defense Kyla Rogers scored two goals, as did Defense Helen Bochneak. Three wins in a row –we’re on fire! Come watch us play hard and have fun, and cheer us on! Our next two home games are: Wednesday, 1/25, 5:00pm & Friday, 1/27, 6:30pm.
1/20/2012 Varsity ANC 2 v Princeton Day School 0
Our second home game of the season, and we won! A big group of devoted fans bundled up and watched ANC girls bring home their second win. Captain Kendra Kuhl stepped it up for the home crowd and scored both goals. Forward India Hitchcock assisted the Captain on one goal, and now leads the team in assists! Goalie Heather Schauder got her first shut-out, and was rewarded with a swarm at the end of the game. All the girls have hit their stride and are great competition for the teams we play –watch out!
1/18/2012 Varsity ANC 5 @ Lawrenceville Prep School 1
Historic First Win for ANC Girls...ANC Girls have been busy advancing their skills and improving their teamwork over the past month, and at Wednesday’s game against Lawrenceville, all that hard work showed! The teams were well-matched, and it was a great game. Center India Hitchcock had two assists and a goal and Gage Blair scored her first goal as she crashed the net. Veteran player, Captain Kendra Kuhl, scored another two, and one of the team’s solid defense players, Kyla Rogers, scored the fifth. Goalie Heather Schauder maintained her command between the pipes, and stopped all but one shot on goal. All the girls worked incredibly well together and should be proud of their overall improvement. Most importantly, as usual, they all had fun – on and off the ice!
12/14/2011 V ANC 0 @ Upland Country Day School 4
Yet another first… what a fun time! ANC Girls played their first home game Wednesday, 12/14. They were cheered onto the ice by ANC’s very own fantastic Varsity Boys hockey team! Both Upland and ANC were announced on the ice followed by a beautiful rendition of the Star Spangled Banner by ANC Junior, Grace Cowley. The girls skated their best yet at this game, competing against the experienced Upland team. Goalie Heather Schauder blocked an incredible 28 of 32 shots on goal! Defense Kendra Kuhl (Captain), Kyla Rogers and Helen Bochneak tirelessly supported their goalie with speed and dexterity. They were later joined by Stacey Cronlund (Alternate) and she combined her skills with theirs on defense. The team worked every second to defend our goal in this challenging contest, and the forwards pushed even harder in the third period, repeatedly clearing the puck out of our zone. Center Raika Nuñez had her first breakaway! The girls pulled off a few shots on goal of their own, one while on a penalty kill. Congratulations!!
12/12/2011 Varsity ANC 1 @ Princeton Day School 1
ANC Girls Ice Hockey played an exciting game against Princeton Day School Monday, 12/12. We came out strong with 5 shots on goal to their 2 in the first period. We pushed even harder and had 8 decisive shots on goal in the second period. Princeton came up with 6 shots on goal, and one found its target during a quick changeover. In the last period we stayed strong, and with only 1:44 left in the game Kyla Rogers jammed the puck through the goalie to score the first ever ANC HS Girls hockey goal! Goalie Heather Schauder blocked 13 of 14 shots! The final score was a very satisfying 1-1 tie. More “firsts” for this new team –our first tie and our first goal! Congratulations, girls!
12/9/2011 Varsity ANC 0 @ Pingry School 7
The ANC Girls’ ice hockey team just experienced their first-ever game last Friday, and the team was fantastic! Experienced and novice alike gave it their all. Goalie Heather Schauder stopped an amazing 25 shots on goal! Despite a final score of 0-7, the girls worked so well together and had lots of fun. Team spirit is alive and well, and we’ll see even more of it today at the girls’ next game at Princeton Day School and even more when we have our FIRST HOME GAME this Wednesday, 12/14, at 4:45pm!!
