Went to the Steve’s son’s JV game it was a mass of action.
The fact that Leominster are the Blue Devils and St. Bernards are saints showed as the game was very physical.
There were some excellent hits but at times it seemed that Leominster was more interested in making hits than scoring. On at least two occasions a Leominster player out of position for a centering pass near the crease because he concentrated on a hit or a shove. first. #2 in particular seemed to manage a hit away from the puck hits at every chance. He must have thought he has Keith Magnison as the red hair was a giveaway. There was a fair amount of pressure on goal but St. B. Goal was equal to the task.
The real star of the game however was the goaltender of Leominster. St. Bernards had several excellent chances, 2 on ones, first rate centering passes and action near the crease. It seemed his body was everywhere. Even the St. Bernards fans were applauding
him as he made saves that nobody has any business making.
He was particularly fine late in the 3rd when St. B was working on a power play. Nothing was getting by them.
I was never much for schoolboy sports, but if this is any indication I think I’ll be attending more.
