Harrow Field Hockey - Spring Update

Below is the feedback we received from two enthusiastic field hockey players from Pennsylvania.

Hi. We are members of the U14 Key State Field Hockey team from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. We were at the 2009 National Indoor Tournaments in Virginia Beach. Our team placed third in one of the pools. We had lots of fun with our team and shopping. While we were there we bought Harrow sticks from you. We used our new Harrow sticks this past weekend at the University of Richmond's Jamboree and are very happy with them. I just wanted to share our fun experience with you. We are looking forward to next year's events.

Thanks for sharing girls!!!

USA Captain, Kate Barber, officially announces retirement

Kate "Tiki" Barber has officially announced her retirement from international competition. US Field Hockey posted a recap of her career highlighting not only her on field success, but most importantly her leadership and personality traits that have made her a hero of mine and every field hockey player in the nation.

Quotes from the Worlds best coaches and players have nothing but the utmost respect for Tiki, praising her lead-by-example attitude and determination to reach her goals.

I am proud to know Tiki, have experienced her fire first hand and know her legacy will continue to motivate and inspire athletes all over the world.

Thank you, Tiki, thank you for being a role model, thank you for following your dream, thank you for pushing your teammates to also follow their dreams, thank you for making USA field hockey what it is today, thank you for representing The University of North Carolina, thank you for setting the standard for the rest of us, and thank you, above all, for showing the world how to be a world class athlete on and off the field.

Festival Success!

I hope you all enjoyed California as much as I did!! After playing 5 years through high school I took a break from attending Festival to be with my family during college holidays. Now I'm in the real world and back at Festival, and it's better than ever. I've attached a few pictures of me playing as well as my team photo (notice all the Harrow sticks!!!) I played with the ASU Sun Devils and can't thank them enough for letting me jump on in the 11th hour. The highlight of our games had to be beating a rival Arizona team 6-1 (all 6 of our goals were scored with Harrow sticks I might add!).

Off the pitch Harrow saw great success as well. We had a huge response to our gift card promotion and many of you have already redeemed your free prize, congrats! I look forward to seeing most of you down in Florida for the Disney Showcase in February. We welcome any feedback on our presence at Festival and what you would like to see us do in the future, just leave a comment here or shoot me an email; atanner@harrowsports.com.

Maryland Terps win NCAA D1 Championship

Congratulations to the University of Maryland Terrapins on their 3rd National Championship in 4 years. The Terps beat ACC rival Wake Forest 4-2 in the championship game after defeating the Iowa Hawkeyes 2-1 in a semi-final over time thriller. This is the 8th consecutive year an ACC team has won the national title. UNC won in 2007 with Maryland winning back to back in 2005 and 2006 and Wake Forest three-peating in 2002, 2003 and 2004.

Final 2008 HS Rankings

HockeyPower's final High School field hockey rankings for 2008 place Wyoming Seminary of Kingston, PA in the #1 spot. Sem finished their season with a record of 23-1 and the PIAA-AA championship crown. Congratulations to head coach Kim Klassner who not only lead her team to their 3rd PIAA-AA State Championship, but also captured her 500th career victory.
Rounding out the top 5 are Summit Oak Knoll, Group I State Champion (20-1-1) of NJ; Louisville Sacred Heart, State Champions from Kentucky (29-0) who own the longest winning streak at 83-0; Penn Manor from Millersville, PA who at (24-2-1) won the PIAA-AAA title over Hershey 5-0; and North Caldwell West Essex also out of New Jersey who won the Group II State Championship.
It is extremely difficult to rank all of these amazing high school teams from different states against each other. I would love to see a Tournament of Champions for the winners from each state tournament to declare a high school national champion. With interest and some research maybe next year Harrow will sponsor such a thing... What do you think?

Congratulations to all State Champions, and High School field hockey players for another fun and successful season.
Best of luck to all the Seniors beginning new adventures and everyone continuing their field hockey careers.

Yours in Sport,

Alli

Harrow Ice Hockey

Hello Harrow Hockey Fans,
My name is Jeff Corey. One of the many hats I wear at Harrow is to help evolve the Ice Hockey Line. Now that Christian Hockey has been sold back to the good people in Minnisota, we have a strong focus on re-launching Harrow Hockey.
With growing demand for our Lacrosse, Squash, and Field Hockey line of equipment and custom team apparel, the decision to go back to Harrow Hockey was simple. Our loyal customers have spoken, and they wanted to see the bright colors of Harrow on their hockey product.
Click the following link on our website to check out the new Custom 2-Piece Harrow 300 engine.
With the many colors, shapes, finishes, curves, and flexes, there are over 1,100 different ways to assemble a stick that is right for you.
See you on the ice...

NCAA Field Hockey Championship Brackets

Division 1 Bracket (Photo of the Michigan State field hockey team reacting to their selection as a host site)

Maryland, Iowa, Syracuse and Wake Forest won the top 4 seeds and will host 1st and 2nd rounds, except for Iowa that will play at Michigan State University. What do you think of the draw? I am always interested to see how it will turn out, there are always a few teams that feel they pulled the short end of the stick. Overall I think the bracket is "fair", especially if you are a Syracuse or North Carolina fan, but probably not so much if you support Maryland or Wake Forest.

I think the Final Four has a great chance to look very similar to 2007, give or take one of the ACC teams. We have the most exciting and competitive field hockey weekend ahead of us with the best 16 teams in the Nation playing back to back for a trip to Lousiville for the Final Four.

Post your predictions!!

Division II Bracket

The Final Four is set for this weekend with Bloomsburg and Shippensburg playing Friday night in the first semifinal game for a shot at the National Championship on Sunday against the winner of the second semifinal match up between UMass Lowell and Bentley.

Division III Bracket

The Division III Field Hockey Championship is down to the Elite 8 and will play their second and third round games this weekend with the Semifinal and Championship games next weekend.

Let me know what you think!!
