Waubonsie Valley Defeats Glenbard To Claim Its Second-Ever Combined Division State Championship
The co-op Waubonsie Valley hockey team returned to the ice from winter break on Jan. 3, with a 4-1 victory over Naperville Central. But then the team lost its next three games, falling to Glenbard, Wheaton West and Naperville North. “That was a look-in-the-mirror moment,” said Waubonsie first-year head coach Jeremy Dombro.
Waubonsie regrouped with back to back wins: 5-3 over Maine on Jan. 19 and 5-2 over Neuqua the next night.
They then lost 6-3 to Hinsdale Central on Jan. 21.
Waubonsie was done losing at that point – for the rest of the season. “We picked the right time to get hot,” Dombro said.

Fenwick Wins First-Ever Illinois Girls High School Hockey State Championship
New Trier was ready to break it open, already leading 2-0 in the 2019 Illinois High School Hockey Girls State Championship Game, played March 22 at the United Center.
Sabrina Shvartsman and Ella Huber each tallied for the Trevians, who were looking to stop No. 1-ranked Fenwick, a co-op club representing Fenwick, OPRF, Trinity, Guerin Prep and York. “We didn’t play particularly well in the first 10 minutes of the game and found ourselves in a hole,” said Fenwick head coach Mason Strom. “But no one panicked, or got unsure of themselves. Instead, I think we got more confident, even when down two goals.” Click link in bio to read Ross Forman's full article. #GirlsHockey #GirlsVarsity #StateChampions #RoadToTheUC #Fenwick #RossForman
