The Windham-Pelham High School hockey team, in its first varsity season of NH High School hockey, opened its new locker room to parents and friends recently. The locker room at The Icenter in Salem, NH, was made possible by donations from individuals and businesses, including Name Tag,, Inc.

Head Coach Doug Watson and his staff welcomed about 50 people into the completely renovated space, showing off the players’ individual lockers, topped off by nameplates generously donated by Name Tag, Inc. Also included are a separate coaches’ room, a team meeting area equipped with video capabilities for game review, and training equipment. The room features artwork by the high school’s Art Club, including a large rendition of the team’s “Wolf Pack” Logo. The people and businesses that helped bring the room to fruition are acknowledged with a plaque mounted next to the logo.

“We’re happy because it came out the way we wanted,” Coach Watson said the group, made up of parents, friends and business representatives. A surprise guest was NHL Hall of Fame sportswriter Russ Conway.  It was a fun night, and parents and friends got an inside look at an area that is typically off–limits to all but players and coaches.

The team has opened its season with a 3 -1 record.   We are looking forward to a successful year, and will enjoy our new home for years to come. On behalf of the team, coaches and supporters, I would like to thank Name Tag Inc. for your generosity in helping out. An open invitation to any of you who may happen to be in New Hampshire: please stop by to say hello!

All the best,
Neil O’Connell
