Hockey - Varsity
2023 - 2024
In 15 seasons of Division I play, Brunswick’s hockey program has solidified itself as one of the most competitive high school programs in New England, securing 10 tournament berths across that span.
The Bruins captured the NEPSAC Large School Tournament championship in 2018, the school's first title at the Division I level, and earned bids to the Elite 8 in 2017, 2023, and 2024, when the team was seeded a program-ever-best third in the field.
