St. Ignatius 2006

A good High School team to watch - the culmination of a great season.

Thank the rowers for American Independence!


On December 19, 1776, Thomas Paine published The American Crisis and uttered these famous words that inspired the Revolutionary Troops in New Jersey under General George Washington...

"These are times that try men's souls; the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."

What they don't tell you is that if no one knew how to row, Washington would never have gotten 4000 troops across the Delaware. John Glover a Gloucester rower and fisherman was largely responsible for organizing the effort. You never know when you will be able to use the vital skills you will learn with Hingham Crew.

Athletic Performance Testing


We will be conducting some advanced testing on our rowing athletes beginning next week - January 23 -- in preparation for the upcoming rowing season. PETA (the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has petitioned us not to use live animals in this process, so you're it. It is sure to be fun AND informative.
Thank you
