Holiday schedules are typically scant. However, this pre-NYE weekend is well suited for hopes for the NEXT YEAR. Bears in the Winter Seasons inside and beyond the White Rocks have already shown promise in their play. Spring sports (baseball, golf, lacrosse, swimming, track and tennis {with new home courts}) always are seasons chasing excellence. Looking […]

Sadly, this Holiday Season BSN SE starts with an obituary [link to an impressive report of his military awards and career] of a tremendous Bear, William Harrison Triplett, Jr. L’63. Billy was the son of a revered Landon and Wachusetts figure. Those of us who were able to watch Billy play sports, know that he […]

The Bears and Cadets, two teams with strong MAPHL histories, met on 12/20 at SJCHS’s arena for their first league match. The Bears (6.6 gpg and 3.3 PIMpg) had a very different approach to the game than their opponent ( 2.5 gpg and 10.2 PIMpg). Tonight’s contest was more consistent with the Cadets’ scoring average […]

BDJO should be commended for tackling the rigors of MAPHL hockey, but those good intentions led to a bad night for the Knights. The Bears scored a multitude of goals, but the official MAPHL site did not report the goals. Below is an attempt to total the Landon goals, assists, shots on goal and saves. […]

The Bears’ last game was characterized as an early season learning opportunity. The Panthers of PV6, 1st year in MAPHL and a roster with one senior was very much the same. Landon won, but Coach Parker has a lot of video to instruct his skaters. Indeed, the visitors from Chantilly, VA took advantage of a […]

— Early season hockey is never pretty; it’s not until midseason that passes connect, shots test the opposing goalie and skating up/down the ice looks like they were choreographed by Mikhail Baryshnikov, the famous Latvian left wing of the Kirov roster. On December 4, the #2 St. Johns team faced the #3 Bears. The play […]

For a second game in a row, Coach Parker invited the 2023-2024 MSHL State Champions, having beaten Winston Churchill 5-3.

The Bears and the LITTLE Hoyas traditionally schedule a non-league (both IAC and MAPHL) game early in their seasons. It is a test of their respective squads, but honestly this first conflict on the ice is usually followed by three games in their regular season and playoffs calendar. The Bears Den was full of FANS– […]

Coach Parker lost five seniors from last year’s successful squad. His 24-25 team has nine freshman and sophomore players plus some skaters of size. His Bears have had limited practice time and faced South River in their first game. The Seahawks have won the MSHL’s East Conference for two consecutive years. The Bears Den had […]

These two schools have competed against each other on the gridiron for about 9 decades. No matter what the team’s record, a win over their RIVAL can make the year successful.

Bullis hit the field with 7 consecutive wins and a roster of 11 players of greater than 200# and 2 who tipped the scales above 300#. With that advantage of size and a motherload of skilled, speedy athletes it was likely that the Bulldogs could win relying on those advantages. The referees judged that the […]
