Most of us know of the Sherwood Arrows Hockey club, but a few students question why it is not on the school website as an athletics team. Blake recognizes their ice hockey team under their winter sports labeled as “Community Ice Hockey.” Blake uses their school’s colors and is called the Blake Bengals. At Sherwood however the hockey club uses red, white and black as their colors and is called the Arrows. Even though Sherwood’s official colors are red, white and blue, most sports teams only use white and blue as it makes it easier to have jerseys with only two colors. Hockey uses red because it is different from all of the other teams. In addition to using different colors and having a different name the club also has to pay for all their own expenses. As opposed to the other school sponsored teams that have everything paid for by the school. Overall ice hockey is a popular sport and should be represented as such and not as a club.
