Elk Hockey History
A Rich Tradition of Success
The Centerville High School Varsity Hockey Team has a rich history of
success. Founded and recognized in 1973 as an OHSAA sanctioned
varsity sport, CHS Hockey quickly established its name in Ohio by winning
a State Title in 1979 under Coach Keith Harring. In the years that followed,
Centerville continued its standard of excellence.
The Tim Evans Years
In 1988, Tim Evans took over the program and in his 16-year tenure
established one of the most respected and dominate varsity teams in
Ohio. Under Coach Evans, the Elks won 10 League Titles, 9 trips to the
Elite Eight of State, and 2 Final Four appearances.
The Andy Sloan Years
In 2003, the closing of South Metro (then called “The Stick”) for one year
caused the team to move afternoon practices to Hara Arena. This change
in time and location caused Coach Evans to choose to retire. Former Elk
player Andy Sloan took over as head coach. Under Coach Sloan the Elks
remained competitive in the SWOHSHL
Adam Frank Years
In 2007, Adam Frank, a former player under Coach Tim Evans, was
named Head Coach. In Coach Frank’s second season, the 2009
Centerville Elks went to the State Final Four for the first time in 12 years
and only the 4th time in the program’s long history. Under Coach Frank,
the Elks won 1 League Title, 2 Division Titles, 2 trips to the Elite Eight of
State, and 1 Final Four appearance.
Simon Excoffon Years
In 2013, Simon Excoffon was named Head Coach of the Elks Hockey
team. Excoffon led the team to a record of 36-19-4 during his time as
Special Awards 2017-2018
Elks Leadership Award – Corwin Marek
This award was started by Chip Worrell. It is given by the coaching staff to the
Varsity hockey player who best exemplifies a love of the game and a “never quit”
attitude…someone who understands that the success of the team outweighs all
personal honors.
Most Valuable Player Award – Griffin Bechtolt
Voted by the team, is presented to the player deemed most critical to the team’s
success.
Defensive Leader Award – Griffin Bechtolt
The purpose of this award is to honor the Varsity hockey player who has led the
team to success through his outstanding defense. Since defensemen often do not
receive as many points as do forwards, and are often forgotten about in awards
ceremonies as a result, this award seeks to recognize and honor the fact that
solid defense is as important to winning, if not more important as scoring goals
Offensive Leader Award– Drew Schemmel
The purpose of this award is to honor the Varsity hockey player who has led the
team to success through his outstanding offensive plays. While defense is key
to the game and the success of the team, we know, it’s the goals that give the
winning record.
Scholar-Athlete Award – Dominik Del Ghingaro
Selected by the coaching staff, is present to the upperclassman who has excelled
in both the classroom and on the ice.
coach. During his second and final season as coach, Excoffon’s team
set a team record for shorthanded goals and tied the record for shutouts
in a season, a record that had gone unmatched for 18 years. Centerville
finished the 2014-15 season ranked 9th in the District and 27th in State
but made an early exit in the District tournament losing to top-seeded
Dublin Jerome in the second round.
The Chabut Years
The Elks, coached by Craig Chabut, competed in the Southwest Ohio
High School Hockey League (SWOHSHL), which included teams from
Dayton, Cincinnati, and the surrounding areas. In the State Tournament
the Elks competed against SWOHSHL and Columbus teams to earn a
birth in the Final Four.
The Year of Mathis
As Craig Chabut retired to raise his two new beautiful daughters,
Centerville welcomes Scott Mathis as our head coach. Prior to
assuming his current position, Scott served as an assistant coach for the
Beavercreek High School varsity hockey team (2016-2017).
Today
Coach Scott had a permanent change of station in his Air Force career
and we said goodbye to one Academy grad and hello to another. Coach
Aaron Quick comes to us from Montana where he coached Varsity High
School Hockey at Great Falls Americans from 2014-2017. Coach Scott
is excited to watch the Centerville boys mature, grow, and develop into a
strong team of both excellence on the ice and in character.
Most Improved – Josh Jones
Voted by the team, is present to the play who made the most improvement over
the course of the season or from one season to the next.
Terry Wielend Sportsmanship Award/Hobey Baker Character Award –
Griffin Bechtolt
At the conclusion of each year’s hockey season, the Centerville Hockey
Association has presents the Terry Wieland Sportsmanship Award in the memory
of Terry. Terry Wieland was a student at Centerville High School from 1978-1980.
He was an excellent student and a goalie for the CHS hockey program. In July
1980, Terry was struck by lightning. In his memory, from 1983-2007, the Terry
Wieland Sportsmanship award has been given to the Senior Varsity hockey
player who has best represented the outstanding qualities that were exemplified
by Terry.
Beginning in 2008, the memory of Terry’s character and sportsmanship are
reflected in the State’s Hobey Baker High School Character Award. In memory
of All-American hockey and football athlete and WWII hero, Hobey Baker, the
Ohio High School Athletic Association, in cooperation with the coaching staff of
each Varsity team, selects one Senior “best kid” from each Varsity hockey team
in the state. The criteria for this award are character, sportsmanship, citizenship,
teamwork, and academics. The attitude that reflects the recipient of this award is
“team before me.”
