Congratulations to Tyler Shepersky, Catherine Faherty, Luke Dimke, Grant Blair, Ailin Zheng, Caleb Crossett, Francis Leo, Laighton Philbrick, Ryan Feeney, Robbie Ranfos, and incoming UNH first-year Jake Feldman on a successful week at the 2026 USA Hockey Sled Player Development Camp! 🏒🇺🇸

The invitation-only camp brought together 60 of the top sled hockey athletes from across the country for six days of practices, competition, and development in Columbus, Ohio. Our 11 athletes represented the strength of the Northeast Passage sled hockey program and the next generation of elite sled hockey talent. 💪

The camp also featured an expert coaching staff, including Northeast Passage Competitive Sports Director Matt McGilvray and Northeast Passage athlete and Team USA member Evan Nichols. 🇺🇸

We couldn't be prouder of this incredible group of athletes and all the hard work they put in on the ice! 👏🔥

🇺🇸 Today, we pause to remember.

This Memorial Day, Northeast Passage honors the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. We remember their sacrifice, reflect on the freedoms they helped protect, and hold space for the families and communities who carry their legacy forward.

We are especially grateful for the veterans and service members who are part of our NEP community—your strength, resilience, and commitment inspires our mission every day.

Join us in giving a warm Northeast Passage welcome to our new Executive Director, Lani Fortier!

Lani brings deep expertise and fresh energy to the team. Most recently, she was with the International Rescue Committee, leading global emergency response efforts—big, meaningful work that’s all about helping people when it matters most.

She’s also a former NCAA Division I athlete, so she knows firsthand the power of sport to bring people together, build confidence, and create opportunities. A value that’s at the heart of everything we do at Northeast Passage.

With a strong blend of nonprofit leadership, operational expertise, and relationship-building, along with a genuine passion for mission-driven work, Lani is well positioned to guide Northeast Passage through this leadership transition and continue expanding our impact across the community, the University, the region, and beyond.

We’re excited for what’s ahead and can’t wait for you all to get to know Lani. Welcome to the team!

Team USA's Sled Hockey Development Team returned from their 3 Game Series vs. Canada in Saskatoon, SK.

NEP contributed coaching from Matt McGilvray and NEP players Caleb Crossett, Luke Dimke, Dan Malloy and Tyler Shepersky.

Game 1: 2–1 (L)
Game 2: 1–0 (W)
Game 3: 5–1 (W)

This series provided a great opportunity for both countries to evaluate future national team talent, with most athletes aged 25 and under. The USA squad showed steady improvement each game, and the NEP group played a key role in a successful week! 🇺🇸
