It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the loss of Coach John T. Gardner—a legend, mentor, and pillar of Avon Old Farms hockey. Gardner’s impact went far beyond the ice. He shaped young men, built character, and dedicated his life to our program and community. #SticksOutForJTG
Legendary Avon Old Farms Hockey Coach John Gardner has passed away at the age of 73. All time winningest Prep School. Over 800 wins. Coached Brian Leetch, Jonathan Quick, Cam Atkinson, Nick Bonino, Trevor Zegras and many more. He was 73 years old. 🙏🏻
Prior to the start of tonight's game, we welcomed Mike Young, a former airborne Army engineer and the father of first-year Nick Young, to drop the ceremonial puck. Thank you, Mike, for your service and all that you do for our hockey family!
I’m excited to announce my commitment to further my education and play Division 1 hockey at Princeton University. Thank you to my coaches, teammates, and family who helped me along the way!
Congratulations to Charlie Leddy! The former #WingedBeavers star was selected by the New Jersey Devils in the 2022 NHL Draft! Charlie will play at Boston College in the fall.
800 WINS!!!
