This is the place to find everything that is Goffstown Hockey. Articles, statistics, events, and more.
It was a Saturday night in January, it was a hockey night. Goffstown went over to Hooksett to play against a Division I foe, in Bishop Brady. This was Goffstown’s fifth road game in two weeks. There was a pretty good crowd on hand for the game, and the two teams did not disappoint the fans, playing a well paced, action packed game. They even played an encore.
After four straight road games, the Grizzlies returned home to play the Timberlane Owls hockey team on Monday night. Goffstown was able to win three out of four games over eight days, and looked forward to coming back to Sullivan Arena. Timberlane High School hasn’t fielded a varsity hockey team in each of the last two seasons. So, this visiting group from Plaistow is trying to get back into the swing of NHIAA hockey with a young team.
After a lackluster effort down in Nashua on Wednesday night, the Grizzlies traveled to Dover to play the Portsmouth-Newmarket Clipper Mules in a Saturday morning game. What could go wrong? A morning game against a team that had won four straight games and entered Saturday with a 6-1 record on the season.
In recent years, the visits that the Grizzlies have made to Conway Arena have had all kinds of odd outcomes and scenarios attached to them. Okay, maybe it was just last year. Maybe it was just me. But in reverse order at Conway Arena for Goffstown, a single goal scorer hits 100 goals scored in their career, the start of the game is delayed more than an hour, an overtime loss, and a one-goal loss to a D-III team while dropping to 0-5 on the season. Check out any of these links and have a look for yourself. Do you see what I mean?
It’s good to be young and to be able to adjust to the lack of structure found in today’s average hockey week. After a week of night games for the Grizzlies, they started the following week of games with a game on the road, right after school. Or in this case they were dismissed early enough to play in Rochester, right after school.
Goffstown started the New Year with a pair of home games at Sullivan Arena. It is always good to be hosting games at one of the best facilities in the state. The Grizzlies have been tough to beat on their home ice over the years. On Monday night (1-3-22), the Grizzlies played host to the Manchester Kings. The Kings were not impressed by Goffstown’s home record in recent years.

The season opener finally came, and went. The Grizzlies had their annual Christmas Eve skate. Then it was Christmas Day, and remembrance of the greatest gift. But, the sweaters and pajamas were tossed quickly aside because the Christmas Tournament started the very next day. And what’s this? A league game over Christmas break?!?
