Mission
The New Hampshire Junior Monarchs are a member of the Eastern Junior Hockey League, which was formed to meet the needs of hockey players in the Northeastern United States who want to further their skills in preparation for college or professional hockey. The EJHL is committed to providing every opportunity and advantage to its member teams and players.[2]
History
The franchise has been a member of the Eastern Junior Hockey League (EJHL) since 1993. For the first two seasons they were known as the Granite State Stars located in Dover, New Hampshire, then they moved to Biddeford, Maine and were known as the Great Northern Snow Devils. In 1999 they moved to Exeter, New Hampshire, and were known as the Exeter Snow Devils, before moving to Hooksett in 2001 and becoming the Junior Monarchs.
Team members and regular season
The Junior Monarchs hold tryouts in April.[3] The majority of players must be between the ages of 16 and 20, though select players age 14 and up may be considered. The season starts the day after Labor Day and playoffs finish during the third week of March each year.
The schedule includes 45 EJHL regular season schedule games plus three rounds of playoffs.
Coach
Sean Tremblay is the General Manager and Head Coach of the New Hampshire Junior Monarchs.[4] He has won the EJHL's 'Coach of the Year,' award in 1997, 2002, and 2006, and was named 'Junior Coach of the Year' by Hockey Night in Boston in 2002, 2004, and 2006. In August 2006 he assisted the USA Under-17 Select Team to a Gold Medal in the Three Nations Tournament[5], has been the Coaching Director for USA Hockey in New Hampshire for the past five years, and conducts coaching clinics for all youth coaches in the state to ensure adherence to the USA Hockey Coaching Education Program.
