SNHU arena, Manchester, NH - 03/11/17 #2 Bow (17-2-1) vs. #1 Keene (18-0) - Division II Championship Mettlesome and gritty are a pair of words that come to mind when I look to describe the Bow Falcons in their game this afternoon. See, Bow entered the tournament as the #2 seed, and they owned an awesome regular season record of 15-2-1. As these kind of things often work themselves out, the Continue Reading...
NHIAA Hockey: Div. II Semi-Finals, It'll Be 1 vs. 2
The Rinks at Exeter, Exeter, NH - 03/08/17 Mumbled and garbled audio aside, the atmosphere in Exeter was electric. The Bow student section was in place early. The Windham throngs seemed to show up at exactly the same time. Keene packed their side with orange and black. St. Thomas showed their various blues. Before long the seats were full. The areas all around the glass where people were allowed Continue Reading...

GHS Hockey: Goffstown 4 at Lebanon-Stevens 3
Campion Ice Arena, West Lebanon, NH. Tuesday, February 21, 2017. Goffstown at Lebanon-Stevens, 445pm. Maturity and growth are signs that lessons are being learned. They are signs that messages are being received. They are the hope that adjustments and development will produce desired results. They reaffirm a coaching staff's game plan and direction given. Tuesday night, after two Continue Reading...
GHS Hockey: Goffstown 1 at Merrimack 4
West Side Arena, Manchester, NH. Saturday, February 18, 2017. Goffstown at Merrimack, 500pm. Merrimack and Goffstown are not too fond of one another. At least the high school hockey teams from these two towns tend to show much disdain toward each other. For the third straight meeting between these two teams, Goffstown was in a position of having to pull their goaltender. And for the third Continue Reading...
GHS Hockey: Goffstown 9 at Alvirne 2
Skate 3, Tyngsboro, MA. Wednesday, February 15, 2017. Goffstown at Alvirne, 550pm. Maybe a gaffe; a faux pas, as it were. See, the game sheet last night read: Home Team: Alvirne. Visiting Team: Goofstown. I am sure it was an honest mistake, but then so were the 9 goals the Grizzlies put on that same score sheet. I doubt this fact was brought to anyone's attention prior to the game as Continue Reading...
GHS Hockey: Goffstown 5 v. Belmont-Gilford 3
Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH. Tuesday, February 14, 2017. Goffstown v. Belmont-Gilford, 700pm. Margin: a gap, an amount by which a thing is won, or falls short. The margin tonight, I thought was minimal, when looking at the full 45 minutes of play. Belmont-Gilford has played in the last two Division III State Championship games, winning in 2015. This year, they lost the Continue Reading...
GHS Hockey: Goffstown 3 v. Keene 8
Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH. Wednesday, February 8, 2017. Goffstown v. Keene, 730pm. Misery and gloom are associated with distress and anxiety. And these emotions could have played major roles in tonight's home game against the undefeated Keene Blackbirds. Especially when Keene scored six unanswered goals over a span of 17 minutes. But the Grizzlies kept skating. They Continue Reading...
