Weyauwega-Fremont Joins Oshkosh Ice Hawks Hockey Co-op for the First Time in School History

Weyauwega-Fremont-For the first time ever, Weyauwega-Fremont High School students are lacing up their skates as part of an official high school hockey program. This winter marks a major milestone for WF Athletics, as the district has joined the Oshkosh Ice Hawks Hockey Co-op, a growing multi-school partnership that gives area athletes a chance to play competitive high school hockey while staying enrolled in their home schools.

Until now, WF students interested in hockey often faced a difficult choice. Without a local program, many had to consider transferring to another district if they wanted to pursue the sport at the high school level. This new co-op means those days are over. Students can now remain Warhawks in the classroom and on the field, court, or stage, while becoming Ice Hawks on the ice.

This season, three Weyauwega-Fremont students are proudly representing the district on the Oshkosh Ice Hawks roster:

Grant Magnuson – Freshman

Mio Semmerow – Sophomore

Torrin DeKeuster – Junior

The Ice Hawks are a combined team made up of players from ten schools across the region, including Oshkosh North, Oshkosh West, Lourdes Academy, Winneconne, Omro, Ripon, Berlin, Green Lake, Laconia, and now Weyauwega-Fremont. Practices are held daily at the Oshkosh YMCA on 20th Avenue, where the team also hosts its home games.

The addition of Weyauwega-Fremont’s athletes is already creating new opportunities for community involvement. The WF Music Department has stepped in to support the program, with students scheduled to perform the National Anthem at select home games. Even more exciting, the WF Pep Band will travel to Oshkosh to play during the home game on January 20th, 2026.

With a full schedule of games and special theme nights such as Pink Out, Pajama Day, Teacher Appreciation Night, and more, the season promises to be both competitive and fun. For WF families, it’s a chance to see local athletes compete in a sport the district has never formally been part of until now.

The co-op marks a meaningful step forward for Weyauwega-Fremont High School. It keeps talented student-athletes close to home, strengthens local programs, and builds new connections across schools throughout the region. And for Grant, Mio, and Torrin, it’s the beginning of what they hope will be a long and successful hockey journey!

We will continue to follow the Ice Hawks throughout their season and highlight WF’s athletes as they make school history together. You can follow the Oshkosh Ice Hawks on Facebook HERE for schedules, theme nights, and team updates throughout the season.
