Vermont girls high school hockey: South Burlington cancels season
Due to the low numbers, South Burlington High School will not field a girls ice hockey team this winter.
The Wolves tried every available opportunity to have a winning season. South Burlington athletic director Mike Jabour called several schools to join forces, but that did not yield positive results.
The Wolves did receive approval for three eighth-graders to play varsity, but that approval came a week and a half before tryouts began on Dec. 2. These players had already committed to their club teams and would not be fully available to coach. Courtney Barrett.

With those three eighth-graders, Barrett had a total of 11 girls interested in playing, but she actually needed at least 10 full-time skaters to have multiple lines.
“It's very difficult to coach varsity ice hockey without 14 skaters because someone goes on vacation, someone gets sick or injured,” Barrett said.
The four to five players still interested in playing competitive hockey will join the Burlington/Colchester SeaLakers through the Vermont Principals' Association membership agreement. The SeaLakers are the defending Division I champions.
The Wolves graduated eight seniors last year, including Burlington Free Press all-state second teamer Sabrina Brunet, and six seniors in 2023. Barrett also said the small number of girls playing hockey at the youth level have games scheduled during both winter break and hockey being an expensive sport compared to others were factors that hurt the Wolves' participation.

In the meantime, Barrett will hold a skills clinic twice a week for the players who have opted not to play with the Burlington/Colchester team, the eighth-graders and others interested in taking the ice. Barrett will help players grow their skills with instruction.
“When I first started six years ago, I had to teach five to seven kids how to play hockey, from not knowing how to skate to scoring your first goal your senior year,” Barrett said. “So I'll have to do a little bit more of that.”
While several hockey teams have joined forces over the years, including Burlington/Colchester, Champlain Valley/Mount Mansfield and the Kingdom Blades, Barrett hopes girls hockey can return to South Burlington as soon as possible next season.
“I'm going to do everything I can to create the future of SB hockey and try to rebuild a program, get some more players involved,” Barrett said. “None of the four or five playing are seniors, at the moment all signs point to a competitive season next year.”
