After losing a league game for the first time since before Christmas, everyone was wondering exactly how the Goffstown Grizzlies team would respond in their next game. Many folks in town hoped that the loss out at Kingswood on Saturday night would be a good learning experience for the team and serve as an in-season opportunity to self-correct their course.

Hockey: Kingswood 5 vs. Goffstown 4
Perhaps there are times in sports, even in everyday life, when we make mistakes but never really pay for them. Or at least we pay no more than the cost of listening to the taunting of our conscience and its innermost voice. Then, of course, there are times when our mistakes lead to immediate consequence and even seem to be plastered on a larger than life wide-screen for everyone to see. Continue Reading...
Hockey: St. Thomas 3 at Goffstown 6
Sometimes it's difficult to remember that these high school hockey players are teenagers and that not every night is their best night. It's also hard to forget previous teams, results, trends, and simple to get caught up in the numbers of all things tracked. Last season the Saints from St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Dover, NH ended the Grizzlies hockey season with a 4-3 win in the NHIAA Continue Reading...

Hockey: Goffstown 7 at Winnacunnet 0
It's not every night in NHIAA Hockey where both the home team and the visiting team arrive to the rink, and then leave the rink in school buses. But then again, Goffstown High School (Goffstown, NH) traveled to play Winnacunnet High School (Hampton, NH) in Haverhill, MA, naturally. As if this wasn't odd enough, the rest of the night kind of followed suit. Continue Reading...
Hockey: Goffstown 4 vs. Nashua South Pelham 2
Some people, like professional commentators for instance, might say that tonight's game against Nashua South Pelham was somewhat of a trap game. It would be sort of like the Grizzlies who finished Saturday's game on a tidal wave of emotional momentum against a rival in Dover, playing a Division I team who is only 1-3 and not regarded as a real threat in the standings. Thus the potential let down, Continue Reading...
Hockey: Goffstown 8 vs. Dover 5
From Sullivan Arena on the campus of St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH - After sitting here looking at my screen for several minutes, literally not knowing where to start, I guess I will start. In an 8 day span that started last Saturday with weather that was too cold for buses, the Grizzlies won in Nashua, Dover upset unbeaten Windham, Oyster River lost twice, Keene won three times, and St. Continue Reading...
NH Hockey Tonight – DII (1/12/18)
Several of us NH high school hockey fans were talking over the summer, and we agreed that maybe St. Thomas would be the team to beat in the 2017-18 season. Thus far it seems that maybe we were right. Continue Reading...
NH Hockey Division II Power Rankings
Well, the power rankings for Division II are out from Hockey Night in Boston News. Since these rankings were posted: Keene won again (beat Alvirne 8-2). In a really good high school hockey game, Dover knocked off previously unbeaten (in league play) Windham earlier tonight, 2-1. Dover got a goal and an assist from Wyatt Allaire, while Trevor Gnall also scored for the Green Wave. Matthew Continue Reading...
Goffstown Grizzlies 2017-2018
Believe it or not, Christmas just happened and this year's team has already played one-third of their scheduled games for the entire season. The Grizzlies are 4-3 overall, and 4-1 against Division II opponents. There seems to be a good mix of young and experienced on this roster. So, you might ask, who are these people? Hopefully this little gallery will help answer that question. It's all about Continue Reading...
