My thoughts and observations of what is and what should be
From Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH - Wednesday, February 19, 2020 For the second time in four days, the Grizzlies came out and more or less shut down an opponent for the first period. In doing so against Portsmouth-Newmarket on Sunday, and then against Winnacunnet on Wednesday night, Goffstown built 1-0 leads in each game and set themselves up for eventual victories.

From Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH - Sunday, February 16, 2020 Perhaps the best thing about the shellacking that the Grizzlies took out in Keene on Saturday night was that they had less than 24 hours to think about it as they had to return to the ice for another game. Yesterday afternoon, at Sullivan Arena, Goffstown welcomed the Clipper Mules of Portsmouth-Newmarket for the Continue Reading...
From Keene Ice, Keene, NH - Saturday night, February 15, 2020 On Saturday Goffstown traveled to Keene for another senior night out at Keene Ice as the Black Birds bid their seniors, as well as Goffstown's seniors a farewell. Keene's offense was jumping early and often as they scored 4 goals in the first 12 minutes of the game and ran to a 7-1 victory. Continue Reading...

From Pop Whalen Ice and Arts Center, Wolfeboro, NH - Wednesday night, February 5, 2020 In one of the more odd hockey games you might ever see, Goffstown traveled to Kingswood to play an always tough opponent on the road. Goffstown dominated the execution of scoring chances for the first 29:55 of the game, taking a 5-0 lead. Then, Kingswood scored 5 goals over a span of 7 minutes and 34.3 Continue Reading...

From Rochester Ice Arena, Rochester, NH - Saturday night, February 1, 2020 Two weeks removed from something resembling winter and just as long since their last hockey game, the Goffstown Grizzlies roared into the new and improved Rochester Ice Arena for a tilt with Spaulding. Goffstown showed no signs of rust on their game jumping out to a 5-1 lead after one period and skating to a 10-4 win. Continue Reading...
From Skate 3, Tyngsborough, MA - January 18, 2020 After a week off from game play, the Goffstown Grizzlies returned to the ice to play the Admirals of Alvirne-Milford (AM).

From Thomas F. Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH - January 11, 2020 Goffstown battled undefeated Dover on Friday evening, winning in the end, 5-3. Then they quickly had to turn around and play another game just about 17 hours later. The Bearcats from Somersworth-Coe-Brown (SCB) came to Sullivan Arena for a Saturday noon game against Goffstown. The Bearcats were ready though, Continue Reading...
From Thomas F. Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH - January 10, 2020 For the third time this week Goffstown played an afternoon home game after school.
