The REDS1 (8th grade) team had an impressive start to the season by going 4-0-1 and winning the MSDHL Jamboree Championship last night in front a packed crowd.  Led by the spectacular goaltending of Stephen Young, the team performed as expected.  All the games were close but The REDS1 kept finding the back of the net each tilt.  The Championship game vs Masco, was a hard fought battle and ended in a tie.  After a sudden death overtime, the teams went toe-to-toe in a shootout, then a sudden death shootout.  Young stood on his head and the REDS1 pulled away with the win! 

The REDS1 team still has 2 roster spots remaining.  For more details, contact info@selectskillshockey.com. 

The REDS2 (6, 7, 8th graders) have their jamboree on Sunday @ 11a at Tsongas Arena.  This will be the final tryout game for any additional players.    For more details, contact info@selectskillshockey.com. 

SSH Instructor Joe Whitney has been on fire leading the Albany Devils in points and 6th in overall AHL scoring.  Like so many Boston College fans are used to, Joe has explosive quickness and is always a danger with the puck.
