Whitman Hanson Pembroke Girls Hockey

Wm Flynn coaches varsity girls' Whitman/Hanson/Pembroke (WHP) hockey,  and uses game videos shot by Deanna Hatch, Sports Director for Pembroke Community Media Center, as a training tool. 

Saturday night's Jan 26th WHP vs. Falmouth Clippers game was especially momentous for the team, since Falmouth ranked first in the Southeastern MA Girls Hockey League South Division I.

“I was so proud of all the girls efforts,” Coach Flynn said, referring to WHP's performance that night.   “They played as a team, and it showed.” 

Flynn continued, “Had they played this way against Marshfield,  the outcome would have been different.”  He was talking about three days earlier when at 5 pm on January 23rd, WHP lost to Marshfield by only one point at the Bridgewater Ice Arena(BIA).

“Thanks to Deanna for game films,” Flynn said. “They let us better prepare in advance for upcoming games.”

Hatch's daughter, Mel,  keeper for the team, offered her thoughts on the Falmouth game which evenly finished at 2-2, had 6 penalties for each faction, and one 3rd period goal for each team.  “The girls looked really well and they pulled together when we needed it most. It felt good to give Falmouth their first tie.”

Deanna Hatch likewise was especially enamored by the team, and afterwards exclaimed “Oh my gosh.  It was an amazing game.  I've never been so proud of those girls.”  Hatch went on to call the Falmouth Ice Rink event “a true nail-biter.  I am so glad to have the game on film, because that's something you just can't get back once it's over.”

The Falmouth game also was a critical landmark for player Jane Morrisette who made both a 2nd period assist and a 3rd period goal, earning her 100th and 101st high school hockey career points.

“I feel excited,” Morrisette said. “I think as a junior it was a great accomplishment, and I hope to keep racking up the points.”

 Morrisette plans to play both field hockey and ice hockey again her senior 2013-14 year.

WHPs next game is at 1:50 pm tomorrow, Feb 9th against Norwell at the Bridgewater Ice Arena(BIA).

Deanna Hatch Films Girls' WHP Varsity Hockey for Pembroke Community Media Center

“One, two, three, W, H, P!” is the cheer the Whitman/Hanson/Pembroke girls' varsity high school hockey team shouts prior to the start of play for their games which this year all are being filmed by Pembroke Community Media Center volunteer, Deanna Hatch, using professional-grade cameras and tripods.

The resultant edited videos start and end with original “Welcome to the Show” music by Kevin MacLeod, have graphics identifying key plays and penalties, and keep viewers in step with the action. 

According to Deanna, “We put a lot of time into recording and editing each game and getting the DVD's to Coach, and everybody appreciates that.  Other parents may not realize how much time goes into each video, but they know it's a lot of work.”

 Deanna's daughter, Mel, is one of two keepers for WHP which claims the Bridgewater Ice Arena(BIA) as its home rink.  William Flynn is head coach. WHP is in the Southeastern MA girls' Hockey League south Division I, and has the motto:  “Three Towns + Two Schools = One Team.” The three towns are Whitman, Hanson, and Pembroke; and the two schools are Whitman/Hanson and Pembroke High School.

 Dan Mastrogiacomo, Dana Battista, and Adelia DeSisto  are assistant coaches this 2012-2013 season which spans from the beginning of last month, December 8^th, to February 20th's final game against Mansfield which will be played at 3:30 pm at Hobomock instead of BIA.

 There are still 14 games in this 23-game-season between now and then, starting tomorrow at 6pm with WHP meeting the Barnstable Red Raiders at Kennedy Memorial Skating Rink, 141 Basset Lane, Hyannis. 

If you're wondering how Deanna is able to travel to each and every game, join the club.  She's been heard saying “I can never get enough of this,” referring to girl's hockey games.  Perhaps that is motivation enough for the tireless hours of driving, filming, and fund raising she does for WHP, and did for Titans Girls' Field Hockey September through November.

“Deanna is great and has always been great,” said Ann Ryerson, program director for Pembroke Community Media Center's web-based media company, referring to Ms. Hatch's devoted coverage of girls' field hockey and hockey. “Even with a family and full-time job, she keeps going. I applaud her 'wonderfulness.'”

WHP is the name of the Titans' Whitman-Hanson-Pembroke Girls Hockey team that calls the 15-year-old Bridgewater Ice Arena(BIA) at 20 Bedford Park it's home rink.   Prior to the opening game on December 8th, WHP played and Deanna filmed 2012-2013 season scrimmage meets against Marshfield, Franklin, and Dedham at the Hobomock, Marlboro, and Hyde Park rinks respectively.

Deanna's daughter, Pembroke High School senior Mel Hatch, is on the team.

The season's December 8th opener against Hanover/Cohasset started with a goal by Ali Webster who was assisted by Jackie Sullivan and Jane Morrisette.  WHP's Giana DeAcetis scored next, assisted by both Jane Morrisette and Ali Webster. 

There was serious action, as evidenced by seven penalties being called: four for WHP and 3 for Hanover-Cohasset.

More points were scored, but we don't want to ruin things for you if you don't yet know which team won.  CONTACT US for viewing instructions/information for this one hour and 8 minute, privately-linked presentation.
