Want to Be a 
Maccabi Games 
Athlete?

There’s still time to join 
the Detroit delegation 
that will compete at the 
JCC Maccabi Games this 
summer in San Diego.
“There’s no deadline to 
register ... yet,” said Detroit delegation head Karen Gordon.
Twenty-two athletes have signed up to represent Detroit 
from July 31 through Aug. 5 in San Diego.
There aren’t enough Detroit athletes to form a team in 
any sport, so Detroit athletes will be on teams with athletes 
from other delegations. Individual sports also are offered.
Prospective Detroit athletes ages 13-16 should contact 
Gordon at karengordon44@icloud.com for more informa-
tion, including the vaccination requirement.
The Maccabi Games weren’t held in 2020 and 2021 
because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Detroit was a Maccabi 
Games host in 2019.

Hartje’s Numbers: 12 Goals, 
28 Assists in 24 Games

It’s been a record-breaking season for 
the Yale University women’s hockey 
team, and Elle Hartje is a big reason 
for that.
The sophomore forward from 
Bloomfield Hills and Detroit Country 
Day School had 12 goals and 28 
assists through the team’s first 24 
games.
No. 9-ranked Yale was 18-5-1 overall 
and 12-4-1 in the ECAC after shutting 
out ECAC opponents Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute 3-0 
and Union 7-0 in road games in early February.
The Bulldogs’ 18 wins set a team record for victories in a 
season, one more than the previous mark of 17 set during 
the 2019-20 season when Hartje was a freshman.
Yale didn’t play in the 2020-21 season because of the 
COVID-19 pandemic.
Hartje scored what proved to be the game-winning goal 
vs. RPI, a power-play goal in the second period that broke 
a scoreless tie.
“That goal by Elle gave us the jump we needed,” Yale 
coach Mark Bolding told the Yale Daily News.
Fans -- actually only vaccinated fans -- were allowed to 
attend Yale indoor sports competitions like women’s hock-
ey starting Feb. 11.
Ingalls Rink, the Yale women’s hockey team’s home 
venue, is operating at 75% fan capacity.
