Class of 2026 Announced
The New Hampshire Legends of Hockey is proud to announce the Class of 2026 who will be recognized and inducted into Hall of Fame on November 1, 2026. This year, five individuals will be honored in three categories: Joe Andrews – Official; Sandy Smith – Media; Coaches Judy Parish Oberting, Martin J. Myers and Sean Tremblay.
In addition to enshrining our five inductees, the Legends will honor the hockey history of the Dover High School Hockey program which dates back to the 1935-36 season.
The Hall of Fame Induction luncheon tickets will be available to the general public on September 1st. Stay tuned for ticket information.
Joe Andrews – Official
Joe grew up in Concord and began officiating youth games at age 11 and continued through high school and college while attending the University of Southern Maine. Andrews was selected to join NIHOA in Maine and was selected to the staff of ECAC Division 3 the following season. In 1993, he began officiating professional hockey for Roller Hockey International, and that same year, was selected to the staff of the American Hockey League as a linesman. In 2001, he was asked to join the staff of Hockey East. Andrew’s AHL highlights include working the 2013 AHL All-Star Game, along with multiple Calder Cup Playoff appearances, three NCAA Frozen Fours and several Hockey East Championships. For nearly 35 years, Joe was an integral component of the game who controlled the play and kept the peace until his final game in 2015 between the Portland Pirates and the Providence Bruins at Cross Insurance Arena.
Sandy Smith – Media
Sandy is a Concord native noted as one of the strongest media supporters of the game of Hockey in New Hampshire. She worked for the Concord Monitor from 1988 until 2016. In 1992, she chronicled the Concord High boys’ team’s run to the state title. The following season, Tara Mounsey emerged on the national stage. Sandy was there, lending strong media support for women’s hockey in its formative years, before following America’s best while covering Team USA at the 1998 Olympic Games in Nagano, Japan and the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City. Her award-winning coverage highlighted Mounsey’s exploits, along with those of fellow Granite Staters Katie King Crowley and Tricia Dunn Luoma and the entire team. Sandy’s coverage of the Olympic team was a major reason why the squad opened their inaugural pre-Olympic tour in Concord. Sandy was the women’s hockey writer for USA Hockey Magazine and other hockey publications.
Judy Parish Oberting – Coach
Judy Parish Oberting was honored with the American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) Women’s Ice Hockey Founders Award in 2003. This prestigious award recognizes a member of the hockey community or college coaching profession who has contributed to the overall growth and development of the sport of women’s ice hockey in the United States through their enthusiasm, passion and selflessness. Judy served as Dartmouth’s head coach from the 1998-99 season through the 2002-03 campaign, leading her teams to a 114-40-8 record, which included four-straight seasons of 20 or more victories. Parish Oberting’s impact helped Dartmouth capture ECAC Hockey titles in 2001 and 2003, along with Ivy League championships in 2001 and 2002. Her 2002-03 team won a program-record 27 games and finished third at the NCAA Tournament. Parish Oberting was honored as the national women’s coach of the year following the 1999-2000 season and was a finalist for the award following Dartmouth’s run to the Frozen Four in 2002-03.
Martin J. Myers – Coach
Marty’s impressive overall record of 200-51-6 with the Bedford High School boy’s hockey team included nine playoff appearances, eight trips competing for the State Title and seven championships. Myers had moved on from the Manchester Flames organization to coach Bedford, where he remained at the helm from 2009-2021. Consecutive D II State Titles came in 2012, 2013 and 2014, beating Dover, Merrimack and Bow respectively. After moving on to D I, Marty won his fourth State Title in 2016, this time against Bishop Guertin. The following season, Bedford shutout Concord 7-0, then lost to Hanover in 2018 by a score of 2-1. In 2019, Bedford blanked Trinity 7-0. In the shortened 2020 season, Bedford and Concord were declared Co-Champions.
Sean Tremblay – Coach (Pictured above with NH Monarchs alums Trevor van Riemsdyk, Brian Flynn, and Brian Dumoulin)
Sean Tremblay has advanced the hockey careers of many players in New Hampshire. Those who’ve skated with the Jr. Monarchs, Granite State Stars and Exeter Snow Devils are beneficiaries of a coaching philosophy that emphasizes long-term player development and who are products of programs built on structure, accountability, and readiness for advancement. Sean’s teams have captured their share of league and national championship titles and his influence as a coach, mentor and leader has been a key factor in players’ progression to elite levels of hockey. Many have gone on to play professional hockey or have excelled in NCAA Division I collegiate programs. Sean has contributed significantly to the New Hampshire Amateur Hockey Association, the governing body for amateur hockey in the state. For more than ten years, he has volunteered as a representative, supporting the development and governance of amateur hockey throughout New Hampshire.

Screening of the 2002 U.S. Paralympic Sled Hockey Team
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Rick Middleton and Tom Moulton Invite the Community to a Free Screening Celebrating the Inspiring Story of the 2002 U.S. Paralympic Sled Hockey Team.
Take a moment to check out the trailer (below):
The community is invited to a free public screening celebrating the remarkable story of the 2002 U.S. Paralympic sled hockey team, followed by a special post-film discussion with legendary player and Coach Rick Middleton and his Assistant Coach Tom Moulton.
In 2001, the U.S. Paralympic sled hockey program was struggling to survive. The sport had existed in the United States for less than a decade, and the national team lagged far behind international powerhouses such as Norway, Canada, and Sweden. After finishing last at the 2000 World Cup, expectations for the American squad were virtually nonexistent.
When teams were ranked heading into the 2002 Winter Paralympics, the United States placed sixth out of six teams. Their invitation to compete was largely seen as a courtesy to the host country.
That same year, former Boston Bruins star Middleton — a three-time NHL All-Star who spent 12 seasons with the Bruins — was asked to coach the struggling team. Though he readily admits he knew little about sled hockey at the time, Middleton embraced the challenge.
Over the following year, Middleton and Moulton worked to harness the raw talent of the 15 players selected for the national team, teaching them a hockey system and building confidence within the team.
What followed in March 2002 shocked the international hockey world.
Following the screening, attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from Middleton and Moulton during a live post-film discussion about the team’s journey, the growth of sled hockey, and the perseverance that helped transform an underdog squad into a Paralympic success story.
The screening comes at an exciting time for adaptive sports fans, as the 2026 Winter Paralympics have just begun in northern Italy. The Games run from March 6–15, 2026, bringing together more than 650 athletes from around the world competing in six sports, including Para ice hockey (sled hockey). Rick Middleton and Tom Moulton’s story of the 2002 U.S. sled hockey team highlights the growth of the sport that fans are watching unfold on the world stage today. The full competition schedule for the Games can be viewed on the official Paralympic website:
