PLATE PAYOFF$900,000 thus farfor Mass Hockey

Sports Action Photography
In December of 1999, Stephen F. Lynch (then a state senator) andBoston Bruins President Harry Sinden joined Mass Hockey PresidentDan Esdale at South Boston’s Murphy Rink to announce the filing of abill in the Massachusetts legislature to create a new license plate tobenefit Mass Youth Hockey. Following his election to the United StatesCongress, Steve Lynch continued to push for the bill’s passage.Finally in 2002, Congressman Lynch, Harry Sinden, along with SenatorGuy Glodis, Senator Jack Hart, and Rep. Marty Walsh prevailed and theBoston Bruins/Invest in Youth Hockey license plate was on the road.
In the past seasons the money received from the plate sales have beenspent on Mass hockey’s Grassroots programs. The funds were distrib-uted to the Mike Cheever Grow the Game, the Border Patrol programfor our youngest players, the parental and spectator conduct code andthe youth amputee program.
Remember that these plates are for Mass Hockey. The benefits are forour programs and our children. If you and your friends and family don’thave the plates: please get them. if you already have them, pleaserenew and you will ensure continuing revenue for decades to come.
Just bring your old plates with your checkbook or credit card to anyMass Registry of Motor Vehicles office and leave with your new Bruinsplate and the knowledge that you have helped good people do goodthings.
You can also order the license plate online at www.bostonbruins.com

The past season has been very instrumental in moving Massachusetts Hockeyinto the future. We continued to implement the American Development Model.The 2nd Annual Red, White & Blue Cup was fully booked, and we will move toimplement one step closer to all cross ice games for the younger ages. Wespent the year self-evaluating the organization and how best to serve our mem-bers. The most exciting news of last year is the hiring of our new ExecutiveDirector, Kevin Kavanagh.Kevin Kavanagh is returning to his roots in Massachusetts. His experience withUSA Hockey in Membership Development growing the game, marketing andfundraising experience with other hockey organizations will prove invaluable toour organization. Some of Kevin’s concentrations will be on growing the game,improving communication to our members, and fine tuning all of our state tour-naments.As we begin a new season, I look forward to all these exciting happenings ofMassachusetts Hockey. We will continue to self evaluate, grow the game andprovide benefits to our members.
Sincerely,Keri-Anne Allan
Greetings!
As your newly-hired Executive Director, I want to open by thanking you for the opportunityto serve Massachusetts Hockey and be a part of one of the largest and most importantpieces of the USA Hockey family. Mass Hockey has a long and storied tradition as aleader in youth hockey and with the current leadership and programs that are in place,that tradition should continue for many years to come.
It is my goal to provide our membership with a better understanding of our programs andbenefits and celebrate all that is good in youth hockey. In the coming season, I hope toupdate our current digital platform to include social media as well as monthly communica-tions that will keep our membership informed. Also, I hope to grow our relationship withseveral sponsors that will allow us to continue to grow the game and support programsthat benefit Mass Hockey. I will work to serve the membership of Mass Hockey in a waythat you can be proud of.
I come to Mass Hockey with a very hockey-oriented background, having worked forAmerican Hockey League and ECHL teams. But more importantly, I was with USA Hockeyin Colorado Springs for the past 3 ½ years working in the Membership Developmentdepartment to help grow the game. During this time, I have come to have a great under-standing of the amazing levels of volunteerism that exist in our sport. Under the leader-ship of Keri Allan and the executive board, Massachusetts has some of the best leaders inyouth hockey anywhere in the world.
I hope that you all enjoy the season that is upon us and take a moment every now andagain throughout the year to enjoy our wonderful sport.

Richard “Duke” Kumpel1930-2012
On July 22, Massachusetts Hockey lost one of its founding fathers. Richard “Duke”Kumpel . He joined Mass Hockey in 1973 (Mass Hockey’ s inaugural season) as aDistrict Director for District 10. Just one year later, he was elected as a Vice Presidentand served on the Executive Board in numerous positions since that time. Many willremember Duke for his 20+ years as the State Tournament Director. Most recently, Dukeserved proudly as Director at Large for Mass Hockey and was a fixture at meetings,spreading his joy and remembrance of a good hockey story.
Duke was born December 25, 1930 and was raised in Melrose with his sister Flo andbrother George. He graduated from Melrose High School in 1948 where he was a sprint-er on the Track and Field team . After graduating he enlisted in the Navy and served inthe SeaBees for two years. He met his bride to be, Martha who was a nurse in training atMelrose-Wakefield Hospital and they were married in 1952. They had 5 children William,Linda, Kristen, Judith and Mark. He was known as Papa Duke to his 5 grandchildren andfirst great-granddaughter.
Duke was one of the smartest men we had in Massachusetts Hockey. He used soundreasoning and judgment, never jumping to a conclusion. He always allowed the personto speak and explain their side, then would patiently and clearly explain his side and whyit was the right way to go. He never raised his voice, just politely and calmly spoke. Heonce said to his successor “We can never make a decision that hurts the kids. So whensomeone finds a new way to push the rules and we can’t stop them without hurting thekids, the next year I will make a new rule so they can’t do that again”.
In 2001 Duke was inducted into the Massachusetts Hockey Hall of Fame. In 2011 theMassachusetts Hockey Special Award was renamed the Richard “Duke” Kumpel Awardand he was its first recipient.
Duke –ismsHe greeted everyone with “How you doing young fellow”
He would begin every hockey meeting with “Ok…For those of you who do not know meI’m GOD “
In response to a tournament going off with no complications “I love you when you talkdirty to me”
One of his favorite lines was “I hate kids”,just the opposite was true.
And then “I’ll have a rum and Diet Coke”
