After waltzing into the winter wonderland called Jay Peak yesterday afternoon and evening, the 2010 Flames were ready to open the tournament this morning. The Flames played a very good team from Wilbraham / Twin Meadows, Massachusetts.
On Sunday afternoon at West Side Arena, the 2010 Flames played well and earned a 7-2 victory over the visiting Boston Jr. Terriers Girls Black team.
The temperature was 12 degrees Fahrenheit when we left the house at 6:30 this morning. It was frosty, cold, and early. By 7:30 am we were at Kasabuski Rink in Saugus, MA.
For their third game of the weekend, the Flames traveled to Keene. The ride was a nice one on a frosty fall morning following an extra hour of sleep. Keene jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the 1st period. The score remained the same until the 3rd period when Flames penalties and the structured play of Keene opened things up. Keene won the game 6-0.
In what turned out to be a very good defensive battle, the Flames dropped a tough one at West Side Arena on Saturday night. The Flames gave up the game-winning goal with 1:11 to play in the game just after a Hanover power-play had ended. The final score was 2-1. Both teams contested every inch of the ice.
The Manchester Flames played Providence at JFK Coliseum and were able to secure a 6-4 victory. Both teams skated well. Both goaltenders were athletic in net and played well. It was a good game from start to finish.
On a chilly, rainy, Sunday afternoon, the Bay State Breakers came up to Manchester for a contest with the Manchester Flames at West Side Arena. While the weather outside may have been on the dreary side, the game inside was a lot of fun.

On a beautiful New Hampshire, spring afternoon at Memorial Field in Concord, a story unfolded that was both a beginning and an end at the same time. The margin between the polar opposites was minor at best. When the game ended, the #1 seeded Concord Crimson Tide advanced in a game of, “who made fewer mistakes”, beating Goffstown, 2-1.
Memorial and Goffstown amassed 17 total runs on 23 total hits en route to a thrilling first round game at Gill Stadium. Goffstown trailed 5-1 entering the 6th inning before taking a lead, losing it, and then winning the game, 9-8 in 8 innings. It was an exciting game between two teams that each finished the regular season with 10-8 records.
The field is set. Anything can happen. It will be interesting to see how all of this plays out. Goffstown makes the road trip to Gill Stadium to play Manchester Memorial on Thursday in the…
On a windy cool afternoon with shades of grey deepening by the minute, the baseball regular season came to a close. Goffstown and Londonderry paid a tribute to their outgoing seniors and then played a fast-paced, excellent baseball game. Goffstown walked off with a 1-0 win in the bottom of the 7th inning.
I received a few different severe weather alerts on my phone this afternoon. There were threatening skies in the area, and many more areas received high winds, rain, and who knows what else. In Rochester though, the storms stayed away and two pitchers took matters into their own hands, both going the distance. Goffstown won 2-1 in a 7-inning game that was finished in less than 2 hours.
Every day is a new day, and just about anything can happen. This afternoon Goffstown returned to their home field to play the Manchester Memorial Crusaders in a battle between teams looking to possibly host a first-round tournament game. Eight pitches into the game, the Grizzlies found themselves behind, 3-0.
The sun was shining, for the most part. There were some big, no huge, clouds, but also, sun, shadows, and some blue sky. It was one of the very few truly beautiful days for baseball since the season began. And, in Bedford vs. Goffstown typical baseball rivalry fashion, the game was well played, an instant classic.
Goffstown came home to play the #2 Bishop Guertin Cardinals at Lion’s Field this afternoon. On an overcast, mild day if it was January, the Grizzlies got off to a fast start and led for most of the game. Bishop Guertin (BG) showed their depth and skill by stringing 4 straight clutch hits together in the seventh inning to win the ballgame, 7-5.
The Goffstown Grizzlies baseball team traveled down to Windham this afternoon to play the Jaguars. Both teams entered in to play with 6-6 records. The game got underway at 4 pm, with an impending nor’easter approaching fast. The rain started at 4:45 pm or so.
On a dark, rainy afternoon in Goffstown baseball was played despite the weather. If this was a game two weeks ago, it probably would have been postponed. Although, with so many rainouts across the state this spring, every effort was made to get today’s game in. Goffstown is glad they played it though, as they came back from a 6-2 deficit in the 5th inning, to win the game, 7-6.
Goffstown scored a run in the first inning and that was all they really needed. Connor Hujsak and the Grizzlies defense held the Nashua North Titans off of the scoreboard, allowing only 6 total baserunners all afternoon. The Grizzlies finally won two games in a row for the first time this season, after a come from behind win against Salem yesterday, and a 6-0 shutout today at Holman Stadium in Nashua.
In a game which saw 19 runs scored, of which only 8 were earned, there was a big comeback and some clutch hitting and pitching. Poor luck starter, Myles Green allowed 6 runs, all unearned, in the second inning, when 4 of the first 6 Blue Devils reached on errors in the infield. Goffstown trailed 6-1, and then 9-5 in the fourth, before coming back to win it, 10-9.
The sun finally came out, and the blue sky was as beautiful as I remembered it. It was a gorgeous afternoon for baseball. Warmer temps, the sun shining and you would think maybe the offenses would be cranking. That did not happen though. But it was so nice outside that the teams decided that 7 innings would not be long enough. The Owls took down the Grizzlies, 3-2 in 9 innings on a walk-off double by Timberlanes’ Cam Sweet.
Looking at the standings and trends earlier today, it would seem that a Portsmouth victory was nearly a foregone conclusion. Portsmouth entered play at 6-1, while Goffstown had limped to a disappointing 2-5 start. It’s one of the best, if not the best, rivalries in NH baseball, Portsmouth vs. Goffstown. Then again, that’s why they play the games. Goffstown came from behind and shocked the Clippers with a 7-5 win at Lion’s Field in Goffstown.
The temperature finally hit the half-century mark, but the cold breeze kept it feeling like it was in the mid-’40s at best. Somehow though, both teams came out pounding the baseball all over the yard. In the end, the Astros, who scored runs in five of their six offensive innings, controlled the game and won 13-6.
Just one day after being totally shut down by the Keene Blackbirds, the Goffstown Grizzlies turned the tables and took it out on the Nashua South Panthers. Goffstown scored 2 or more runs in each of the first 3 innings and never let up.
Keene sent 15 batters to the plate in the top of the first inning and ran away with a 13-0 win at Goffstown. Peter Haas pitched five shutout innings to get the win for the Blackbirds, who are now 6-2 on the season. Goffstown dropped to 1-4 on the young season.
Goffstown High School Baseball came into Friday afternoon’s game at Manchester Central with an 0-3 record, and a total of 5 runs scored on the season. With temperatures 30 degrees warmer than the day before, the Grizzlies got the offense going right from the start. Goffstown scored three runs in the first inning and never looked back.
Goffstown Grizzlies Baseball dropped a pair of games to begin their week. At Exeter, on Wednesday the Grizzlies were shut out 3-0 against the Blue Hawks. Then, at Allard Park against Winnacunnet, Goffstown fell 4-3 in a battle on Thursday.

The Manchester Flames 18U team traveled to San Jose, California to participate in the 2019 CHIPOTLE USA HOCKEY YOUTH TIER II 18U National Championships. Although the team ended up going 0-3, they had a chance to compete in the highest round of competition their level offered. They played teams from Texas, Washington, and North Carolina. I was rooting for the locals, and receiving updates from various sources as well.
