Preserving the Legacy

Members, please join us on Saturday February 4th for "A Night at the Nest 2". The gathering will take place in the Executive Perch at the MassMutual Center in Springfield. The Executive Perch is the premium seating loft inside the MassMutual Center, located above Section 19. We have partnered with the Springfield Falcons and the management of the Perch to present an exciting evening of good food, fun, friends and most importantly...HOCKEY!

Based on the great time we had last season and at our summer outing, we are all looking forward to the 4th!

On the 4th,  the Falcons will be hosting the Norfolk Admirals. The Admirals are the AHL affiliate of the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Face off time is 7:00PM. The Perch will be open for the evening at 5PM. Our food choices for the evening will include popcorn, cheese and crackers, carved roast turkey and all the trimmings. There will also be honey glazed spiral ham as well as cookies and brownies to satisfy your sweet tooth! The special members only cost for this exciting evening is just $35, which includes your admission ticket to the hockey game. Springfield Hockey Heritage Society Members can bring guests, also at the $35 charge. A cash bar will be open in the Perch for beverages.

Joining us in The Perch will be Eddie "Ted" Shore, Jr. as well as C. Michael Hiam, author of "Eddie Shore and That Old Time Hockey". We are also expecting another surprise guest or two!

This very special night is for our Members and their guests only. Orders submitted through the website from non-members will not be processed.

Sunday August 21st, the spirit of seasons past rekindled at the Big E Coliseum in West Springfield for a very special afternoon meeting of the SHHS.

If you were there, thank you for taking the time to join us on a late summer afternoon. Also, you know what a special day it was. Of the nearly 70 in attendance, many would be listed in a Springfield Hockey version of Who's Who.

Guests included Gordie Anziano, Jim Slattery, Russ Johnson, Bob Oliver and Damon Markiewicz from the Springfield Falcons. We were also thrilled to have AHL Hall of Famer and possibly the most popular player in the long history of Springfield Hockey, Jimmy Anderson with us.

Garry Brown from the Springfield Republican was on hand. If you missed it, Garry put together a review of the day that was far more eloquent than this very basic summary.

The afternoon was dedicated to the memory of a Springfield Hockey Hall of Famer, and SHHS Charter Member, Sam Pompei.

The Society is currently planning two "Nights at the Nest" during the upcoming Falcons season. Stay tuned for more information in the weeks ahead!

The names Jimmy Roberts, Marc Bergevin, Terry Yake, Michel Picard and Blair Atcheynum are familiar to most Springfield Indians fans. All played important roles on the 1990-91 Calder Cup Champion Indians team. What most people don't remember is that they all re-united on the 1997-98 and 1998-99 St. Louis Blues.
