As part of our fifteenth NH Legends of Hockey Golf Classic we are holding and auction which is open to anyone. Included are a number of great items including framed sports photographs and greens fees with carts for some of the most exclusive private golf courses in the state of New Hampshire including Lake Winnipesaukee Golf Club, Wentworth By the Sea Country Club and Nashua Country Club. In addition there is a 2022 single membership at Stonebridge Country Club and 2 tickets to a Bruins game in the Bruins Alumni suite with food and beverage included.
This year we are providing the person with the quickest reaction time an opportunity to BUY NOW rather than have the item bid at the tournament. This auction will run to 5 PM EST on Wednesday July 14th at which time the on-line auction will close.
Any item which doesn’t sell ahead of the tournament will be auctioned the day of the tournament. If you are not playing, but interested in bidding at the tournament, come on out around 3 pm.

We are back! After Covid took out the 2020 tournament, our 15th Golf Classic will be held on Friday July 16, 2021 at the Stonebridge Country Club in Goffstown, NH. Tee time begins with our usual 10:30 AM shotgun start with re-registration starting at 8:45 AM.
We will be following any Covid protocols in place at that time. However, I’m sure you are all used to masks (and tired of them) as well as the 6 feet social distancing guideline if things haven’t improved further by that date.
We will be accepting the first 132 golfers and we are anticipating a sellout! So please talk it over with your buddies and send along your registration and check(S). Hopefully we will reach that number well before the deadline.
The funds raised help us continue our mission of honoring, celebrating and preserving the rich ice hockey history in New Hampshire and to support the development of hockey throughout the Granite State.
The New Hampshire Legends of Hockey is a New Hampshire non-profit corporation and is a self-governing, 501(c)(3) organization (tax ID: 56-2421910).

Shown above in center, Scott Citroni, reacts just after knocking in his ball for a Hole N One on the 4th Hole back in 2017. This was the first ever Hole N One in the previous twelve years, and still the only one. From this day fourth will be called “The Scott Citroni 4th Hole.”
Our mission is simple: “We honor, celebrate and preserve New Hampshire’s rich ice hockey history and support the development of hockey”.

The New Hampshire Legends of Hockey is pleased to announce five inductees for its Nineteenth Hall of Fame Class. The Induction Ceremony, originally slated for this October 25, 2020, will take place on October 24, 2021.
Ben Lovejoy (above) and Lauren Slebodnick are being inducted as players, Brian Murphy is being inducted as an official, Bruce Valley will be inducted in the Media category and Paul Chalue is being inducted as a builder.
In addition, the history of the Exeter High School boy’s and girl’s hockey programs will also be honored at the event.
Here is a closer look at the five inductees:
Lauren Slebodnick: One of the best goalies in Cornell women’s hockey history, Slebodnick grew up in Manchester and played for the East Coast Wizards and Cushing Academy. In her first two years at Cornell she shared the goalie duties, playing 16 and 17 games, respectively, and posting save percentages of .942 and .924. As a junior, she set the program’s single-season record for wins (24) and helped the Big Red reach the eight-team NCAA tournament all four years she was there. She also played two seasons for the Boston Pride of the NWHL.
Ben Lovejoy: Born in Concord and raised in Canaan, NH where his father worked at the Cardigan Mountain School, Lovejoy owns the distinction of being the first New Hampshire-born player to win the Stanley Cup, which he did with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2016. The former Dartmouth College standout played in 544 NHL games over 11 seasons plus 76 playoff games, scoring five goals and 11 assists. Regarded as an elite penalty killer, he also played for the Anaheim Ducks, New Jersey Devils and Dallas Stars before his retirement in the summer of 2019.
Brian Murphy: Murphy grew up in Dover and played hockey at Dover High School, and went on to make a name for himself as one of the most respected officials in professional hockey. He was chosen to work nine Stanley Cup Finals between 1995 and 2017 — including two Game 7s — and also the Vancouver Olympics and the first outdoor game at Fenway Park in 2010. On March 16, 2019, he became only the eighth official in the history of the NHL to have worked 2,000 regular-season games, and did so as both a referee and a linesman. He is currently the supervisor of men’s officials for the Hockey East Association.
Bruce Valley: Valley grew up playing hockey in Rye, and his experience as a hockey player and a military veteran — he served as a Navy rescue pilot in Vietnam, then as an experimental test pilot — influenced and seasoned his style when he turned to an accomplished writing career. He is the author of “Seahawk: Confessions of an Old Hockey Goalie” and “Rye Harbor: Poems of the New Hampshire Seacoast.” Valley is being inducted into the media category for the work he’s done in preserving, recounting and celebrating the rich and fascinating story of hockey’s golden era in New Hampshire.
Paul Chalue: Chalue moved to Dover in the summer of 1977 from Needham, Mass., where he was close friends with the family of future NHL player and coach Robbie Ftorek. Chalue would shape the hockey culture in the Seacoast region for decades to come. He was hired by the City of Dover as the first director at the new public ice arena and built it into the modern Foster Rink as it is known today. He served in the arena position from 1977-1994. He was then promoted to director of city buildings and grounds and oversaw the construction of the adjacent Holt Rink, as well as the increase in both youth and adult hockey players, until his retirement in 2007.
