2022 - 2026 Midland Hornets Purple

ALL - THANK YOU for your support of the girls over the last several years! It cannot be overstated how lucky we all are to have been able to be a part of this ride that these young ladies have taken us on. They are forever teammates, champions, hall-of-famers, and friends.

As coach and author of this page, I am forever grateful for the families, friends, fans, coaches, support people, and everyone else who helped make all of these experiences possible. To all those who went the extra mile (or thousands of miles), thank you.

In the future, keep an eye on this page for occasional features and updates about these girls and what they're up to. If one thing's for sure, it's that they're all going to carry these experiences forward, take what they've learned together, and continue to accomplish amazing things.

The girls played hard and had plenty of chances, but the puck seemed to have ideas other than going in the net today… And with a loss in the MGHL semi-finals, that’s a wrap on our 2025-2026 season. Stay tuned in the coming days for a recap and more, and THANK YOU for all of your support of the girls this season!

The Midland Jr. Hornets will be competing at the 8U state championship tournament this weekend in Rochester... and we'll be busy too, down at the MGHL championship in Brighton along with our 16U team. GOOD LUCK TO ALL HORNETS!

Hornets update!

The girls came up just short in the semi finals, losing 2-1… We had our chances and hit a post in the last minute, but the bounces didn’t go our way today.

Tier 1 showcase next weekend in Detroit!

Hornets Update!

The girls were buzzing again tonight en route to a 8-2 W in their final play-in game. They’re in playoff season form, moving the puck and playing together in all 3 zones.

Hornets update!

The girls worked their way to another 7-3 W this morning, once again making things happen on the ice through exceptional passing and teamwork.

Hornets Update!

Day 1 at states is complete (except hotel shenanigans) and the girls played great, earning a 5-1 W. Passing was on point today as they worked together to impress the crowd with some truly remarkable teamwork

To quote Bruce Buffer... "IT'S TIME!"

The Hornets are headed to the Michigan Amateur Hockey Association State Finals this weekend in Dearborn! Looking to defend their 2025 10U State Championship, the girls are going to give it all they've got in an effort to secure the 2026 12U title. GO HORNETS!

The Hornets are back on the road this weekend playing some our best frenemies! We have 2 games on tap with the U13 Jr. Greyhounds, along with a mixed outdoor 🥶 3v3 mini-tournament. They are always awesome hosts! Go Hornets!

🚨 Home Hornets Hockey 🚨

The girls are home this weekend for 2 HUGE games... First, a playoff matchup with the Kensington Valley Ravens in Bay County on Saturday. Then, on Sunday, a rematch with HoneyBaked AAA in Midland. Come support the girls as they continue their push toward championship weekend! GO HORNETS!

😳 It's going to be a busy few weeks...

This weekend, the Hornets will take one last DEEP breath before we dive head first into our playoff/championship season. Looking ahead, the calendar is FULL of Hornets hockey, including some chances to see us play at home in the next couple of weeks. GO HORNETS!
