Oakdale Ice Hockey: The State Championship Game

March 15, 2024

The team poses for a photo with the crowd and with the MSHL Trophy. “Just pure excitement, just seeing the team celebrate, the crowd going crazy. I just found my brother gave him a hug, because I know what he’s been through the last couple of years playing for Oakdale. I just wanted to give him this Championship, so I just knew how much this meant to him and the entire team,” explained Timberlake.

Every year, the state playoffs for the Maryland Student Hockey League (MSHL) take place in late February- early March. In previous years, the winner has usually been a team from the Montgomery Conference, and never Frederick County. This streak has been kept until this year, as the Oakdale Bears became the first Frederick County team to win the title. On March 1, the team defeated the Winston Churchill Bulldogs of the Montgomery Conference 5-3 in a thrilling win.
