Friday, January 1 marked the first time two yeshiva high schools faced off against each other in ice hockey. The Frisch ice hockey team played the TABC ice hockey team at the John T. Wright Arena in McKay Park. The Frisch Cougars are currently in the New Jersey state league—the first time a yeshiva has joined an ice hockey league—with a record of 2-1-1, while the TABC Storm has not yet joined a league, although they practice weekly.

The final score of this landmark game was 10-2 in favor of the Cougars.

This is “hopefully the beginning of a new era of yeshiva high school sports,” said Frisch Junior and ice hockey team member Evan Froman.
