A proud history and bright future!

Our program has never been stronger in terms of its financial strength, quality of coaching and shared vision for player development.  Our decision last year to merge with the Boch Blazers allowed Charles River to land in a consistent and convenient home for years to come. In doing so, we also tapped into an outstanding hockey program that offers high quality developmental opportunities including on-ice skills, off-ice training and specialized instruction.  We are also planning to combine our websites for administrative efficiency of operations and communication. Throughout the spring, we will try to identify other areas where we can benefit from closer alignment and coordination with the boys program.   Be assured, however, that we will preserve the unique identity of Charles River Girls Hockey.   We hope to have many more families with sons and daughters playing in both programs.

We plan to compete at the highest level that each team can reach.  We will do that with each coach focused on bringing out the best in every player on his/her Charles River Blazers roster.  We also believe the opportunity to provide life lessons that have value beyond the rink are unlimited.  That is a key part of the mission and vision shared between Charles River and the Boch Blazers.  It has been an amazing 15 years and we hope you will join us in making the next season a special one.  Please read below for more details regarding tryouts, coaches and the associated costs for each team.

On Columbus Day, while most were enjoying the unseasonably warm weather, the U16 Blue Major team was busy earning a victory in the championship game of the 2011 Fight Like a Girl Against Breast Cancer tournament held in West Warwick, RI. In order to get to the championship game, the team beat the NJ Quary Cats on Saturday, 1-0. Then on Sunday they defeated the NJ Titans 2-1 and tied the West Bay Islanders 1-1. The championship game was a hard fought battle and both CRGH goalies, Michaela Clark and Courtney Davis, were able to shutout their opponents while Marisa Gerhig scored the lone goal of the game with assists by Kelci Finn and Rosamond Carr. Congratulations to the Charles River U16 Blue Major team for defeating the West Bay Islanders by a score of 1-0 to win the tournament.
