The Ridgefield Roundup | Jan 17-19

We’re excited to introduce the Ridgefield Lions Newsletter! A new way to share what’s happening across our program and bring our community a little closer together, on and off the ice.

Each week, we’ll highlight team accomplishments, upcoming tournaments and events, and moments that showcase the effort, growth, and sportsmanship that define Ridgefield hockey.

What you can expect:

  • •  Key updates from across the program
  • •  Team and age-level highlights
  • •  Upcoming games and events, so we can cheer each other on
  • •  And more!

We plan to share this newsletter regularly and evolve it over time, and we’d love for it to reflect the broader RAHA community.


THIS WEEK'S HIGHLIGHTS

 🏒 Peewee AA Shows Heart at MLK Invitational

Our Peewee AAs took on strong competition at the 200x85 MLK Invite in Boston, finishing an impressive 3–1 before a hard-fought semifinal loss. After falling behind 5–1, the team rallied in the third period all the way back to a 5–4 final, battling until the very last whistle.

AROUND THE LEAGUE

🇺🇸 Mites Take the Ice as Anthem Buddies

Monday was a special one as our Mites joined the Ridgefield High School Varsity team on the ice as Anthem Buddies. Moments like these are a great reminder of the full hockey journey: from first strides to Friday (or Monday!) night lights.

Ridgefield Girls Hockey PWHL Anthem Buddies Experience

On December 21, 2025, Ridgefield Girls 8U and 10U teams enjoyed a special Anthem Buddies experience with the PWHL and New York Sirens, creating a memorable moment for our players and families. Our athletes proudly stood on the ice during the national anthem ahead of the Sirens’ game, soaking in the excitement of professional women’s hockey and the energy of the crowd. The partnership was an inspiring opportunity for our young players to see the next level of the sport up close and celebrate the growth of girls’ hockey, making it a wonderful holiday-season highlight for our Ridgefield hockey community.

🐐 GOAT USA Lions Gear Has Landed!

After a long wait, the custom Ridgefield Lions GOAT USA merch has officially arrived... and the excitement is real. Players are already sporting their new gear around the rink and around town, showing off their Lions pride wherever they go.

If you haven't picked up your order, be sure to pop over to the pro shop this week!
