- Too Easy - Goffstown Hockey - - Dover at Goffstown - Sullivan Arena - Dover scored a shorthanded goal just 33 seconds into the game. And for me, the theme of the day started. Too easy. Either Dover is that good, or Goffstown just didn't play up to their talent level. Because, for much of the game, it just looked too easy for the Dover Green Wave. The Grizzlies dropped the decision, Continue Reading...
- Grizzlies Slip Past Spaulding - Goffstown Hockey - - Goffstown at Spaulding - Rochester Arena - The Goffstown hockey team fell behind early out in Rochester to a solid Spaulding team and the prospects of a come from behind win looked more like a fall further behind loss.

- A Win Is A Win - Goffstown Hockey - - Goffstown vs. Portsmouth-Newmarket - Sullivan Arena - It was great to be back at Sullivan Arena for hockey.

Goffstown fell behind, 3-1 in the first period, and then scored a pair of goals to tie things up in the third period. Then St. Thomas scored with 77 seconds left and added an empty netter. Great game. Lots of chances. But the Continue Reading...
