The Highland Bulldogs Varsity season has come to an end after a hard-fought 2nd round playoff series against Triad. Our JV season also concluded following a competitive and spirited series against Edwardsville North JV. While the final scores didn’t fall our way, the effort, resilience, and pride these players showed all season long represent what Highland hockey is about. These teams battled every shift, competed with integrity, and represented our school and community the right way. We want to extend our sincere appreciation to: Our Coaches – for the countless hours of preparation, leadership, and mentorship you provide our players on and off the ice. Our Parents – for the travel, time commitment, and constant encouragement throughout the season. Our Volunteers – from fundraising to game-day operations and everything behind the scenes, your time, effort, and reliability make this program possible. Every contribution matters, and we are grateful for all of you.  Our Highland Fans and Students – your energy, packed student sections, and unwavering support at our games made a difference all season long. What makes Highland hockey special isn’t just what happens during three periods — it’s the community behind it. The commitment, sacrifice, and pride from so many people are what truly power this program. We’re proud of our players. We’re proud of our program. And we’re already looking forward to next season. Go Bulldogs.
