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.
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.
From Keene Ice in Keene, NH – January 2, 2019:
It’s a new year, and the Grizzlies made the long trip over some rather large hills to play at Keene, looking for a new result. Goffstown hadn’t beaten Keene in a hockey game since a 3-2 win at home on January 17, 2015. As a matter of fact, the Black Birds had won five straight against Goffstown, and by a lopsided total score of 27-7. Hockey: Goffstown 7 at Keene 4
Goffstown ended their spectacular regular season in Salem against a very strong Windham Jaguars team on Saturday night. Despite dropping their final two contests, the Grizzlies did win 14 games in the regular season for the first time in their program’s history. Windham jumped out to a 4-0 lead and the hole was too deep for the Grizzlies to climb out of and overcome, but that’s not the whole story.
One of the beauties of sport is that competition brings opportunity where something has to give. People can talk, stats, results, and personnel can be compared on paper, but in truth, it’s only after having contested in the sport that we really know. Last night out at Keene Ice, the Keene Blackbirds hosted the Goffstown Grizzlies on Keene’s Senior Night. It was NH Hockey’s Division II #1 vs. #2 in a last week of the season matchup. Something had to give.
