Thirds Hockey v. Amherst

The Eaglebrook Thirds hockey team hosted the Amherst Hockey Association Peewee A Team in a gritty match-up at Alfond Arena. Despite having some players out of action and limited to only three defensemen, they were up to the task. Amherst was a very skilled group which created lots of offensive opportunities. Down four goals after the first period, Eaglebrook found its game in shuffling their lines and weathering a tough back and forth game. Strong skating and goaltending kept their opponents at bay for the final two periods. The Eagles came close to scoring several times by getting the puck deep and crashing the net. They look forward to their next contest against Franklin County this Friday.
