                     H2O CROWNED CHAMPION BY US FIELD HOCKEY IN 2006

        The annual field hockey festival hosted by USA Field Hockey and held in Indio, California over the Thanksgiving holidays crowned a Harford County based field hockey club team, “H2O” with a USA National Hockey Festival gold medal in 2006. In the world’s largest field hockey event, over 3,800 athletes competed for the coveted gold medals in a three day event.   Teams from all over the country and Canada are represented at the tournament.   H2O was one of three teams in Maryland to win a championship and the only team in Maryland to win in the U16 age group in 2006. 

        “H2O”, also known as Harford Hockey Organization, was formed in 2003 by Natalie Magdeburger to provide opportunities for girls from the Harford County, Maryland area to compete in local, regional and national events. The H2O team is made up of girls who play on a number of local high school teams including Bel Air, CMW, Fallston, Friends, John Carroll, Notre Dame Prep and North Harford.  Recently, H2O has expanded to invite girls from outside of the Harford County, Maryland geographic area. 

     H2O is known for their signature neon pink socks and has put over 60 girls into the USA Field Hockey Futures’ program since the team was formed (girls are selected and designated as future collegiate athletes and receive special training/instruction from USA Field Hockey).  H2O has also had a number of teams qualify for the National Indoor Championship games held by USA Field Hockey in Norfolk, Virginia.

        In 2006, team members Alicia McCarty, Laura Carman and Brooke Peterson exploded on the offense and scored 6 of the team’s 8 goals with Michaela Mitchem adding a critical goal on post against team Seacoast United and Jessica Magdeburger recorded a goal on a penalty stroke in the final minutes against second place team IFHCK of Kentucky. Goalie Katie Gerbes recorded three solo shutouts and combined with Team Captain Lauren McGehee to record another shutout. McGehee, seeing limited playing time while still recovering from ACL surgery, returned to the goal for a half for the first time all season and did not allow a goal. Gerbes allowed only three goals during the entire tournament. Erin Lewns recorded two critical defensive stops during play including a lunging stick stop in mid air.   Alicia McCarty, injured in the final game, returned to play after her injury but could not be present for the medal ceremony as she was taken to the hospital for stiches to the face.

        The Festival team was comprised of Jessica Magdeburger (Friends), Michaela Mitchem (CMW), Kelsey McKeon (NHHS), Lauren McGehee (John Carroll), Katie Gerbes (Fallston), Katie Conner (Fallston), Kristin Tracy (CMW), Molly Mistr (Notre Dame Prep), Rachel Cooke (Fallston), Maddie Salamone (Bel Air), Cara Canington (CMW), Erin Lewns (North Harford), Laura Carman (North Harford), Brooke Peterson (Bel Air), Betsy Reightler (North Harford), Alicia McCarty (Bel Air), Allison Sibiski (Fallston), Amanda Malkowski (CMW), Libby Nichols (Friends), Katie Levy (Friends). The team was coached by Natalie Magdeburger and Martha Mitchem.   Alicia McCarty is missing from the team medal picture because she was in the hospital; however, the team held a board with her name on it and placed a medal on the board in Alicia’s honor.

        H2O would not have had a successful tournament without the help of a number of local supporters including Pat Troyer of Hawks Nest Hockey, Mike Getz and Joe Dorman of Norrisville Parks and Recreation, the UPS Store and Festival Seafood.   

     H20 has teams in the U12, U14, U16 and U19 age brackets for indoor play.  H20 combines teams for outdoor play.  Selections to the teams are done by open try outs. 

     In 2007, H2O was incorporated and is a non-profit organization.
