From Thomas F. Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH – Friday, February 28, 2020
It’s that time of the year again, when the regular season winds down and teams honor their seniors while jostling to improve their tournament seeding. Friday night was Senior Night for the Grizzlies and they honored the four seniors that will be graduating from the program in a few months. On the ice, Goffstown electrified the home crowd en route to a convincing win, 8-3 over the Admirals.
From the Whittemore Center, UNH, Durham, NH – Saturday, February 22, 2020
In what turned out to be, maybe, the best game of the season so far, the Grizzlies found themselves on the wrong end of a 3-2 count. Both teams played excellent hockey, especially the goaltenders. The game was tied after the first, tied after the second, and one goal in the third was the difference.
From Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH – Wednesday, February 19, 2020
For the second time in four days, the Grizzlies came out and more or less shut down an opponent for the first period. In doing so against Portsmouth-Newmarket on Sunday, and then against Winnacunnet on Wednesday night, Goffstown built 1-0 leads in each game and set themselves up for eventual victories. Goffstown ultimately pulled away in the 3rd period and beat the Winnacunnet Warriors, 7-2.

Perhaps the best thing about the shellacking that the Grizzlies took out in Keene on Saturday night was that they had less than 24 hours to think about it as they had to return to the ice for another game. Yesterday afternoon, at Sullivan Arena, Goffstown welcomed the Clipper Mules of Portsmouth-Newmarket for the only game in Division II hockey. Goffstown held their opponents to one shot on goal in the first period. Then scored five goals over ten minutes in the middle period to go on and earn a much needed 8-5 victory when all was said and done.
From Pop Whalen Ice and Arts Center, Wolfeboro, NH – Wednesday night, February 5, 2020
In one of the more odd hockey games you might ever see, Goffstown traveled to Kingswood to play an always tough opponent on the road. Goffstown dominated the execution of scoring chances for the first 29:55 of the game, taking a 5-0 lead. Then, Kingswood scored 5 goals over a span of 7 minutes and 34.3 seconds to make this a 5-5 game with half a period to play. The Grizzlies managed get their switch flipped back on and won it, 6-5 with Grady Chretien’s fourth goal of the night at 12:31 of the third period.
From Rochester Ice Arena, Rochester, NH – Saturday night, February 1, 2020
Two weeks removed from something resembling winter and just as long since their last hockey game, the Goffstown Grizzlies roared into the new and improved Rochester Ice Arena for a tilt with Spaulding. Goffstown showed no signs of rust on their game jumping out to a 5-1 lead after one period and skating to a 10-4 win.
