Written by The Flames played host to the mighty Wachusett Wolfpack at JFK Coliseum on Saturday morning. The Wolfpack played like a pack of wolves, using strength in numbers and working together to get the job done. Manchester lost 9-1 to the 1st place Wolfpack. Wachusett improved to 17-0 in league play, while allowing just their 15th goal of the season in the win. The Flames dropped to 8-8 in league play.
I took a few pictures during the game and in the pictures you may notice that Wachusett has equal of greater numbers than their opponent in almost every shot.
