From Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH - Monday, January 25, 2021 Trinity scored later than earlier but quite often en route to their first win of the season at Goffstown. At least I think it's their first win because getting accurate information on anything that is NH high school hockey this season is not easy. The Grizzlies kept coming at the Pioneers, but the combination of Continue Reading...
Hockey: Goffstown 1 at Bishop Brady 2
From Tri-Town Arena, Hooksett, NH - Saturday, January 23, 2021 After an overtime affair just three nights earlier, it surprised nobody that Goffstown and Bishop Brady played another tight, one-goal game on Saturday night. Continue Reading...
Hockey: Goffstown 2 vs. Bishop Brady 3 (OT)
From Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH - Wednesday, January 20, 2021 Honestly, I smiled walking into Sullivan Arena on the St. Anselm Campus last night, despite the masks, and thermometer, forms, and protocols. It was good to be back there for high school hockey. Not only that, it turned out to be a really good game. Continue Reading...
Hockey: Grizzlies 3 at St. Thomas 5
From Dover Arena, Dover, NH - Saturday, January 16, 2021 It was the season opener on Saturday, and for the most part, it took place almost completely under the radar. Unfortunately, for the kids, it will be something like that all season, I fear. The silver lining of course is that, at least there are games being played. Continue Reading...
Tournament Hockey: Goffstown 0 vs. Oyster River 4
Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH - March 7, 2020: In a game which featured two teams that prove to be about as evenly matched, as evenly matched gets defined each season, the outcome was decided, 4-0. Goffstown was 13-5 in league play while the Bobcats from Oyster River came in at 12-5-1, and these two teams had split 10 goals, 5-5 in their two meetings during the season. Oyster Continue Reading...
Tournament Hockey: Goffstown 0 vs. Merrimack 3
Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH - March 2, 2019: There are a time or two maybe, if any times at all, that I have seen a hockey game that played out like the last Quarterfinal to start in the D2 Tournament on Saturday night. Goffstown carried the play for virtually the entire hockey game but was unable to get a puck past Ben Hardy and the Tomahawks. The Grizzlies fell, 3-0, after Continue Reading...
Hockey: Goffstown 8 at Alvirne-Milford 3
Skate 3, Tyngsboro, MA - February 23, 2019: Goffstown had clinched their place in the playoff seeding earlier in the week and the outcome on Saturday had no effect on their tournament placement. Then they were playing on the road against a team they beat 6-1 earlier in the season. Furthermore, the home team was battling to finish the regular season as high as 6th or as low as 8th. So, it could Continue Reading...
Hockey: Goffstown 3 at John Stark-Hopkinton 1
From Lee Clement Arena, New England College, Henniker, NH - February 19, 2019: The atmosphere was festive and felt like a big playoff game on the snowy campus of New England College. The old rink was packed with fans of both schools as well as players and fans of hockey teams from other area school districts. There was no place to park anywhere near the rink. Nor was there any place to walk except Continue Reading...
Hockey: Goffstown 5 vs. Oyster River 4 (OT)
From Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH - February 16, 2019: A senior, defense first, defenseman, Jacob Noonan, saw an opportunity and he made the most of it. As he made a beeline to the net with carrying the puck, the balance of the game was on his stick. Noonan ripped a shot that Colin Clark saved but the rebound landed in the crease. Somehow Clark also held his line and made a Continue Reading...
Hockey: Goffstown 9 at Winnacunnet 0
Late on Wednesday night from Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, NH - February 13, 2019: By the time the game started the other night, it almost seemed like an afterthought. There was no public address announcing. There was a surprise playing of the National Anthem (we did stand and honor the playing of it). There were no starting lineups announced. Then finally, the puck dropped at 9 pm. Given all Continue Reading...
