Hockey Program
Since 1945, Cardigan has developed a rich tradition of top pre-prep hockey. Many of our players have gone on to the finest secondary schools and junior programs in the country, and several Cardigan alumni have enjoyed successful college and professional careers.
Cardigan Mountain School takes great pride in providing a structured and supportive environment in which boys develop into responsible young men. We understand that athletics can play a key role in the development of a boy's character, and we remain committed to our student-athletes in the classroom and on the ice. We have four teams, each with a dedicated and experienced coaching staff. There is place for every boy to play in an environment that fosters skill development and understanding of team concepts.
