(NEW) VARSITY BOYS HOCKEY ADVANCE TO SECTION SEMIFINALS

The Boys Varsity hockey team advanced to the section semifinals with a 4-3 win over Burnsville. After an early goal by the Blaze, the Lightning settled in and came back with three straight goals to take a 3-1 lead into the third period.  Burnsville answered with a goal of their own to cut the lead to 3-2 as the rivalry remained tense at the AVSA.

Bennett Weestrand backstopped 29-32 shots in goal to earn the win between the pipes.  A big shout out to the Eastview Superfans who brought the energy to help put out the Blaze!

OUR CLUB RUGBY TEAMS ARE RECRUITING FOR BOTH GIRLS AND BOYS

Our District 196 Club Rugby program is looking to recruit boys and girls for our respective Varsity (and JV for boys) programs. Absolutely NO EXPERIENCE is necessary! As an emerging sport, all teams have first-year players, from Freshmen all the way up to Seniors. Spring rugby is a great offseason sport for enhancing skills, speed, agility and decision-making, as well as for improving open-field and safe tackling for those of our football athletes who hit the gridiron in the fall. Parent/Player and Recruiting meetings are being held as follows: Girls Varsity @ 4PM Sunday 2/24 at Eagan HS Lecture Room A, and Boys Varsity & JV @ 8:30PM on Monday 2/25 at Blackhawk Middle School in the multipurpose room.  Training begins on the weekend of March 2nd/3rd.  The Boys Varsity season begins with our first match in Belfast (Ireland) on March 22nd, followed by matches in Dublin and beyond before returning for our league kickoff against Hopkins on April 5th.  The Girls Varsity league season also kicks off on April 5th against Armstrong/North Suburban. Check out our Facebook page here for more details.  Registration is available here:
