CRANBROOK HOCKEY
A WINNING TRADITION 
MHSAA CLASS B-C-D, DIVISION III
STATE CHAMPIONS
1979, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1991, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2015, 2021

From the early beginnings, the mid 1930’s, to the inaugural season as a sanctioned sport by the MHSAA (1979) until today, there has been a constant theme at Cranbrook – High School Hockey would be part of the Athletic Department and it would be a successful program.

Since 1979 Cranbrook earned 18 MHSAA State Hockey Titles – more than any other school in Michigan.

Cranbrook currently competes in Division III of the MHSAA State Tournament and is a member of the Michigan Interscholastic Hockey League. 

In the summer of 1993, Cranbrook hired Andrew (Andy) C. Weidenbach to take over the hockey program.  It was a pivotal point in Cranbrook hockey: the team was once again returned to its position as one of the most successful and respected high school hockey programs.

Andy modeled the Cranbrook team after the many successful junior teams he produced in the North American Junior Hockey League (NAJHL) and the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).  He established the following philosophy for the hockey program:

Team Philosophy

The philosophy of the Cranbrook Kingswood Varsity Hockey Team is to teach the student athletes the fundamentals of hockey and instill in them the attributes necessary to achieve success.  These attributes are responsibility and accountability for one’s actions, discipline, dedication to team goals and respect for coaches, teammates and opponents.

This Philosophy has resulted in tremendous success for the team and the individual players:

MHSAA State Championships in 1997, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2013, and 2015

MHSAA State Finalist in 1996 and 1998

18 Regional Championships

After the 2018-2019 season Andy retired leaving the team in the more then capable hands of Coach John LaFontaine. John has coached many teams at a range of levels including the NAHL, AWHL, USHL, and AAA at Shattuck St. Marys. He has found great success already at Cranbrook by winning his first MHSAA State Title in just 2 years as the head coach, as well as receiving the MHCSA Hockey Coach of the Year award in 2021. John looks to keep moving the team forward and continuing Cranbrook's winning legacy.

 

Over 100 Cranbrook Players have received All State Recognition from the Michigan High School Hockey Coaches Association (MHSHCA)
