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 Continue Reading...
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.

I wish I could give the players their due credit, but I just have all of the names to match the numbers. If you took out the physicality and 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...
