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.
- There are plenty of Flames in the picture, but still a wide open scoring chance for the Wolfpack.
- This is one of very few scoring chances that the Flames could generate against a stingy defense.
- Jax clears the puck out of the defensive zone.
- With the Flames starting goalie away on the sandy beaches of Lake Placid for the weekend, Kayden Michaud stepped in and played outstanding for the Flames.
- The reflection in the glass shows Ian that he is not alone.
- In this rare photograph, we see Jax make the puck levitate to the amazement of everyone in the area.

- Austin and Teddy rush the puck up ice, but Wachusett always had defenders back quickly.
