Boys' Hockey: Thursday and Friday's Top Games (12/29 and 12/30)

Thursday

5 more Maine Invitational games:
St. Joseph @ North Yarmouth Academy (ME) @ 8am
Wethersfield @ Portland, ME @ 10am
Xaveir @ Lewiston, ME @ 12pm
Ridgefield @ Bangor, ME @ 12pm
Brookfield/Bethel/Danbury @ Westbrook, ME @ 4pm

More of the Mount Saint Charles Tournament in Rhode Island:
Fairfield Prep @ St. Joseph (Buffalo, NY)

Watertown/Pomperaug @ Notre Dame-Fairfield @ 6pm
-Interesting game to watch because W-P was last year's DIII champion and has been tearing up DII so far this year so now we get to see how they do against a DI squad.  However, ND-F has yet to win a game against a DI squad so if W-P emerges victorious, it won't mean as much.  ND-F would get a quality W if they get the job done at home.

Friday

Finals of West Haven Christmas Tournament (all at Bennett Rink in West Haven)
Amity @ West Haven @ 5pm - 3rd place game
-Amity is a good team so the Westies better not sleep on them or they will end up getting upset again just like they did against North Haven.
North Haven @ Notre Dame-West Haven @ 730pm - Championship
-North Haven is looking like a top team in DI this year and a win against the Green Knights would put them right there at the top.  ND-WH has yet to lose a game (5-0) and a win over the Indians here would be huge.

Last day of Maine:
Xavier @ Biddeford, ME @ 10am
-Ridgefield beat this team 11-0.

Another out-of-state game: Simsbury @ Westfield, MA @ 7pm

Glastonbury @ Fermi/Enfield @ 240pm
-Another CCC-North match up for Glastonbury except against a better team here.  Fermi/Enfield has a good shot to win this one so spectators should get to see some really good hockey here.

Hamden @ New Canaan @ 4pm
-Not as big of a game as last year but still important as Hamden is 2-0 and very talented this year and New Canaan (2-2) is on a two-game win streak but I still fully expect Hamden to win this one comfortably.

other game to watch: Stamford @ Northwest Catholic @ 545pm
