Culver Academy Hockey Photos: CMA U16 Hockey vs Ice Jets
This weekend the CMA Eacles U16 Hockey Team is hosting a large tournament on Culver Academy’s campus with 6 teams competing from around the nation. Tonight’s game was between Culver Academy and the Ice Jets. What a great game to watch! I’m not sure if the game was more exciting than others or if I was trigger happy with my camera. Either way, I shot over twice the number of photos that I normally shoot. It was difficult narrowing the number down. I ended up with over 300 photos that I felt were worthy of posting.
I guess if your teams has to lose, tonight would have been the way to do it. The Ice Jets started by scoring the first goal. Culver scored its first goal within the first 45 seconds of the second period. Culver followed this by scoring the next goal to take over the lead. A few minutes later, the Ice Jets scored again to tie the game again. The sceond period ended with a tie. During the third period, both teams scored to end the regular game with a 3-to-3 tie. Because this was a tournament game, sudden death play continued into overtime. The Eagles held the Ice Jets off for three and half minutes, but Culver ultimately lost when the other team scored. Regardless, both teams played well. To see more photos, go to www.culverphotos.com and check out this gallery: http://www.culverphotos.com/p579556671.

The second hockey game of the afternoon was the CGA U19 team that played against Traverse City. The girls played well with the CGA team dominating the entire game. I’m not sure what the final score was, but with three minutes left in the game, Culver was up by 8 goals. I’ve posted some photos here; you can find more in the Culver Academies sports gallery at www.culverphotos.com.
Culver Academy Hockey Photos: CMA Prep Hockey vs. Shattuck St. Mary’s
This afternoon the Culver Academy Prep Hockey team hosted Shattuck St. Mary for a matchup on Culver Academy’s campus. The game started strongly with the CMA Eagles scoring the first point right away in the first period. Culver held their lead for the remainder of that period and 17 minutes and 59 seconds of the second period. (The actual offical scoring time according to the ref was with 1.5 seconds left in the second half.) Though sitting next to the timer, it was closer than that as none of us knew if it was a valid point as it was SO CLOSE to the buzzer.) Culver had problems in the third period that they couldn’t recover from; the final score was Culver 2, St. mary’s 4. You can find more photographs at www.culverphotos.com.
Culver Academy Hockey Photos: CMA Prep Hockey vs. St. Mary’s (Game 2)
Today was the rematch between Culver’s Prep Hockey team and St. Mary’s Hockey team. Unfortunately, I was able to stay for just 2 of the 3 periods due to a prior engagement. I’m told that I missed a great 3rd period. In what I did watch, St. Mary’s learned from the game last night and proved to be a tough opponent in this game. I’m told that the final score ended in a tie 1-to-1 with Culver scoring in the last seconds of the game for a tie.

I’m not sure what happened overnight since yesterday’s loss to this same team, but today, the CMA Eagles came to play. This afternoon, the CMA U16 Hockey team got a rematch game against the Pittsburg Jr. Penguins. The game was not a disappointment with Culver dominating the ice throughout the game. With a final score of 6-to-1, the Eagles redeemed themselves. I’ve posted a few photos here; find tons more in the online gallery located at www.culverphotos.com.
Culver Academy Hockey Photos: CMA Prep Hockey vs. St. Mary’s
Today, the Culver Prep Hockey team showed everyone why they are considered one of the best hocky programs in the country. Playing against St. Mary’s from Michigan, the CMA Prep team came to play and dominated the entire team. It was a fast-paced game that was exciting to watch. Culver won 6-to-0. I’ve posted some photos here; there are more in the Culver Academy Galleries on www.culverphotos.com.

This weekend, the Culver Military Academy U16 Hockey Team hosted the Pittsburg Jr. Penguin’s Hockey Team for two matchups- one Saturday and one Sunday. In Saturday’s game, the CMA Eagles fought hard but were outplayed. It was an exciting game, though I wish the outcome had been different. The final score was 3-4. I’ve posted some photos here; there are more under the Culver Academy, Culver Sports section at www.culverphotos.com.
Culver Academy Hockey Photos: CMA Prep Hockey vs. Lansing Capitals
After defeating the Lansing Capitals hockey team last night 5 to 1, the Culver Prep hockey team did not do as well today. They lost in a close, hard faught game. The final score was 3 to 2. The game was fast paced with some excellent plays, though the Lansing Capitals proved to learn from their mistakes from the previous night. I’ve posted some of my favorite photos here, but please www.culverphotos.com for more photos from this game or other Culver Academy photos and hockey games.
Culver Academy Hockey Photos: CMA Varsity Hockey vs. Carmel
Some things never change! 25 years ago, the Carmel Hockey teams were a big rival for the Culver Hockey program and it appears that the same still holds true. Carmel proved to be a tough competitor for the CMA Varsity Hockey Team at today’s home game, but the CMA Eagles emerged victorious. The final score was Culver-4 and Carmel-2. In all fairness to Carmel, the score should have been 3 to 2 as one of Culver’s points occured on a pass back on Carmel’s part to their goalie who either sliped or misread the pass, allowing a slow-moving puck to get by him. As thankful as everyone was on Culver’s side for the point, the coaches, the fans, and the players felt compassion for the young man because it was an accident that shouldn’t have resulted in a score. I’ve posted some of my favorite photos from the game here. You can find more at www.culverphotos.com.
Culver Academy Hockey Photos: CMA Varsity Hockey vs. Prairie Ridge High School
This morning, the CMA Eagle’s Varsity Hockey Team played their second game against the Prairie Ridge High School Hockey Team. Plagued by penalties and up against a team that used the previous night’s loss to refresh, regenerate, and relight their passion, the Culver Academy Eagles did not fair well. I don’t know if the Prairie Ridge team studied the tapes from last night or if their desire to win was just that strong. Regardless, they played well and capitalized on CMA’s penalties. The final score was CMA-1, Prairie Ridge-5. I’ve posted some photos here; there are 200 more at www.culverphotos.com. Look under the Culver Academy/Culver Sports section.
