“Hockey at South Kent is about far more than competition, it’s about commitment, discipline, and becoming part of something larger than yourself. On Senior Day, we celebrate not only what these young men have given to the program, but who they have become through it. Their time on the ice has helped shape their character, resilience, and sense of purpose, and we are deeply proud of them,” said Head of School, Brian Sullivan.
Connor Court, Director of the Hockey Program, added, “These seniors represent the standard of South Kent Hockey. They’ve invested countless hours, pushed through adversity, and supported one another with humility and toughness. Senior Day is our opportunity to honor their leadership and thank them for the culture they’ve helped build, one rooted in hard work, accountability, and love for the game.”
Families, alumni, and friends are encouraged to attend both ceremonies and games as we celebrate these seniors and thank them for the legacy they leave behind.
