    Letter from the President

    Welcome to Benilde-St. Margaret’s (BSM), home of the Red Knights! We are looking forward to another great season of BSM Boys’ Hockey and are grateful for your support.

    BSM Boys’ Hockey has a long tradition of excellence, complete with numerous conference titles and multiple state championship trophies. Some of these players have even gone on to compete successfully in junior, collegiate, and professional hockey leagues.

    From its humble beginnings on an outdoor flooded rink in 1958, BSM Boys’ Hockey has grown into one of the premier hockey programs in the metro.

    Here at BSM, we believe that athletic and co-curricular activities are an integral part of a holistic education. The BSM Boys’ Hockey program provides students with the opportunity to seek success through hard work, resilience, and collaboration.

    Students develop leadership skills and have the opportunity to build friendships within the structure of a supportive team. At BSM, each student is known and nurtured as a unique individual. Students experience a rigorous academic program, have access to a rich variety of athletics and co-curricular opportunities, and are accompanied on their individual faith journey in a Catholic environment.

    Altogether, BSM students receive the holistic education necessary to be prepared for college and all that lies beyond.

    BSM is proud of its hockey program and all of our outstanding student-athletes.

    With more than 93% of students participating in at least one co-curricular program, our students are involved and engaged in building up our dynamic community.

    Thank you for your support and being part of the BSM community.

    Enjoy the 2023-2024 BSM Boys’ Hockey season, and go Red Knights!

    Danielle Hermanny '03
    President
