Friends of Navy Hockey As the Navy Hockey team started its play informally on an Annapolis area pond in the late 1960s, so The Friends of Navy Hockey (FNH) began in the early 1990s as an informal support organization of former hockey-playing alumni giving freely of their time to support the team. That early effort has now evolved into today's alumni-led organization which is involved in vir- tually all aspects of the team's operation and development. These contributions range from fundraising, to equipment and uni- form purchases, informal recruiting through a player alumni and player parent network, annual publication of a media guide and schedule poster, and other projects as requested by the coaching staff, officer representative and the team itself. Every year former player alumni from around the world come to the Academy for a weekend of competitive hockey against the current team. The Annual Navy Hockey Alumni Game Weekend is in essence a tribute to the current team from the Long Blue Line of hockey graduates, and a chance to measure the current team in battle on the ice. The goal of FNH is to help Navy Hockey become the best collegiate hockey program possible, and to support the development of the team to whatever competitive level Academy officials and the Naval Academy Athletic Association determine appropriate. That hockey is a genuine warrior sport is beyond question. The sport has been played at West Point and the Air Force Academy at the NCAA Division I Level for generations. FNH recognizes that, in continuing to develop the Navy Hockey program, our organization will in turn allow our alma mater to welcome more of the talented and brightest as they reach col- lege age and seek a forum for their hockey talents, followed by a challenging career in which skills learned on the ice - intense team play, quick decisions, a total commitment to victory - are directly applicable to the warfare specialties of today's naval and Marine officers.
