MHS Sports on MHTV volunteers needed
MHTV, Marblehead’s local access television station, is searching for local residents interested in joining its award-winning MHS Sports on MHTV production team for the 2025-26 school year.
“Right now, we are looking for volunteers for the fall (high school sports) season, who are interested in announcing field hockey, volleyball and boys and girls soccer games, or in technical positions like running cameras, graphics or directing the entire production,” said MHTV Sports Producer Jon Caswell. “Experience isn’t necessary, but knowledge of the various sports we cover is very helpful.”
MHTV Sports is currently slated to cover three field hockey, volleyball and boys and girls soccer home games, along with four home football games, plus any home state tournament games.
Volunteers need to be available at least 30 minutes before games and also 30 minutes after games. Games may start anywhere between 4 and 7 p.m., depending on the sport.
The season starts in early September, so contact Caswell now by phone at 781-631-8213 or email him at jon@marbleheadtv.org for more information or to sign up.

Friends of Marblehead Hockey golf tournament
Friends of Marblehead Hockey is pleased to announce the return of its biennial Bud Orne Golf Tournament and Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Monday, Sept. 22, at the Tedesco Country Club. This year will mark the 20th gathering of this fun and important event.
Beyond providing camaraderie for the Marblehead hockey community and its alumni, the long-held fundraising goals of the club will always go toward college scholarships, supporting Marblehead Youth Hockey and assisting both the youth and high school teams with extras that support each of their programs. The club also contributes to several memorial and charitable funds.
Since 1994, FOMH has awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars in college scholarships to a worthy senior boy and girl hockey player.
This year’s Hall of Fame inductees include:
- Lady Headers co-op goaltender and Swampscott native Maureen “Moe” Bradley.
- hockey pioneer and member of one of the first organized teams in town, the Barnegat Bruins, Richard Bridgeo.
- star two-way player and two-time captain during the 2007-09 seasons Anders Gundersen.
- co-captain and star defenseman of the 2011 state championship team Jake Kulevich.
- 1981 co-captain and solid team builder with 82 career points Tom Kulevich, Jake’s dad.
While player spots for the Bud Orne Golf Tournament have already been filled, FOMH encourages those who are interested to still attend the cookout and Hall of Fame induction ceremony in the evening, beginning with cocktails at 5:30 p.m.
Tickets for the evening events are $40 per person and are available by calling Dana Tufts at 781-254-4017 or by going online to friendsofmarbleheadhockey.org. Hole sponsorships are also available.
