On July 6, 2002, the Amy Oberreither Memorial Hockey Game was played in Wentzville, Missouri, to honor Amy and pay tribute to her outstanding accomplishments in youth ice hockey; and for the purpose of providing a forum in which to present the First Annual Amy Oberreither Memorial Goaltender’s Award. Amy, who died following a car accident at the age of eighteen, was one of only a handful of girls playing boys ice hockey in St. Louis in the 1990’s. After playing three years for North County’s Valley Hockey, Amy was selected to play for the AAA Amateur Blues, the area’s elite boys hockey club. In 1995, Amy was honored at the former Kiel Center by the NHL’s St. Louis Blues and KPLR-TV for having achieved excellence in amateur hockey. She went on to be the winning goaltender at the AAA Regional Championships in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1996. Amy also played for STL Elite, a select tournament team. She earned the “Number One Star of the Game” in the prestigious Bell Cup Tournament in Toronto, Ontario, in 1996. While attending Lutheran High School South, Amy played both Boys Jr. Varsity and Varsity ice hockey. We have created the Amy Oberreither Memorial Goaltender’s Award: a scholarship given annually to an up-and-coming young goaltender who exemplifies the passion and excitement for goaltending that Amy displayed while “in net” for her youth hockey teams.
