Preserving the Legacy

Welcome to the Springfield Hockey Heritage Society!

Springfield, Massachusetts has had a reputation for many years as a "hockey town".

Western Massachusetts is home to many great attractions. Six Flags, Basketball Hall of Fame, restaurants and shopping to name a few. However to many of us this has always been a hotbed of hockey action. Some of the best players the game has ever seen have either played with the home team, or passed through as opponents. From Shore to Howe to Orr to Gretzky and beyond, the hockey fans of Springfield have been treated over the years to many of the sport's all time greats.

How many of us were fortunate enough to see our first hockey game at the Coliseum?

If you weren't there, you really did miss something special. The "Night at The Nest 2", on Saturday February 4th was the biggest gathering to date of the Springfield Hockey Heritage Society. The night was better than anticipated with friends catching up, good food and yes...even MORE hockey stories! "A Night at The Nest 2" was graciously sponsored by

Teddy Bear Pools & Spas

Poly-Plating

Steve's Sports

Foley-Connelly Financial

The Society thanks the sponsors of the event, for their time, their resources and for going the extra mile in helping the Society preserve the legacy by honoring the past! Thanks also to author C. Michael Hiam who was on hand to sign his book, "Eddie Shore and That Old Time Hockey". Proceeds from the night's book sales were generously donated to help the Society continue its efforts.

The SHHS had the pleasure of being on hand at the Barnes and Noble store in Holyoke on Saturday October 16th. The occasion was the release of a new biography, "Eddie Shore and that Old Time Hockey" by author C. Michael Hiam. Mr. Hiam was on hand to speak about the book as was Eddie "Ted" Shore, Jr. who also spoke about the book as well as telling some stories about his father.

Thank you for submitting your membership application to the Springfield Hockey Heritage Society. Before you go to our secure Google Wallet page, we want to express our thanks to you for becoming a part of hockey history here in Springfield. About half of the respondents to our original poll have answered that their first game was in the 1960s or 1970s. That means for many of you, it might have been a Saturday night at the Coliseum. While many of us remember those "good old days", newer fans may look back fondly on the back to back Calder Cup Champions of the early 90s...having never even seen a hockey game at The Old Barn! We will continue to research and do our best to put all the information in one place for hockey fans of all ages. With your membership, please feel free to share your stories with us! Don't forget - all of the stories and information will be here for generations to come! Thank you for supporting the Springfield Hockey Heritage Society!
