On October 15th, 2020 Governor Sununu suspended Ice Hockey in Indoor Facilities for Two weeks. As a result the Back Bay Indians season, like all hockey programs in the State of NH, will be temporarily on hold while the State decides what precautions need to be taken to reopen. The tentative date for restart is October 30th, 2020.
More information will be disseminated as it becomes available.

Member Families,
We felt as if the Selectmen Meeting went well with regards to procedures that are consistent with other rinks around the State. Additionally we had an on site meeting and are currently awaiting the final procedure to be written and submitted.
Once we have the final procedures in writing, we will begin scheduling practices and games at Pop Whalen.
Please note there was a meeting with the state this week and we expect some changes to be implemented This upcoming week and we will keep you informed as these changes take place.
Thank you
Board of Directors

The Backbay Indians Squirt 1 team entered the NHAHA Granite State League’s Playoff round with an undefeated record of 13 - 0 - 3. The Indians won their first two round robin games against two very tough opponents, Plymouth and Keene. The semifinal game was a tough fight against a skilled Rochester team, however the Indians prevailed again advancing to the State Championship game on Sunday the 23rd. The rematch against Plymouth was a very hard battle during the first two periods. The Indians Liza Demain scored first and the period ended with a Backbay 1 - 0 lead. The second period started quickly with a second goal by Liza Demain and Plymouth’s Audra Custance answering with their own goal one minute later. The Indians quickly scored two more unanswered goals by Myles O’Keefe ending the second period with a 4 to 1 lead. The third period ended with 3 goals by Chloe McClain, 1 by Reid Swinerton and 1 by Myles O’Keefe, Audra Custance scored late for Plymouth bringing the final score of the game to the Backbay Indians 9, Plymouth 2. The Indians end their Granite State League as State Champions with a final record of 17 - 0 - 3. “I am so proud of the way the team played and the level of development each player achieved throughout the season. Every player knew their role, played a two way game and brought a new level of competition to their game.” said Coach Sikich. Coach Sikich continued by stating that The Backbay Hockey Association has devoted so much time and effort to changing the way the program develops their players and has shown that they can provide a program where focus is on skill development at a reasonable cost. I can’t thank the organization enough for providing the amount of practice time needed to be successful. The Backbay Indians Squirt 1 team will continue their season by playing the Seacoast Hockey League’s Playoff rounds this coming weekend in Rochester, NH. We look forward to some very tough competition and hope we can continue our success.
The New England District Futures Camp was help this past month and several of New Hampshires finest hockey players put forth their best efforts to be selected for the NED Futures Select Teams.
I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate our very own Parker Aucoin who is rostered with the Peewee Team coached by Aaron House. Parker was selected to the Select 12 Boy's (2008) team. I know Parker will represent himself and the BackBay Indians well on his team and we wish him luck.
Well done Parker, keep up the hard work..... We are proud of you!
