Middle School

The Middle School team skated away from Sunday's game against Mansfield with a loss and some work to do. Skating short-handed, the Jr. Vikings battled, but couldn't seem to keep up with the speedy skaters from Mansfield. Alex DeMarco made some nice saves in net, and did all he could, but it just wasn't enough. The Jr. Vikings were led by Robert Ramsay and Tyler Lovendale, both scoring two goals a piece and Ramsay adding in two assists. Jack Martins added the other goal, while Zack Barris chipped in with an assist. The 7-5 loss was the team’s second in as many games.
