Bishop Brady vs. Trinity hockey

Concord didn't spend much time in the penalty box, being whistled for just three infractions, but when the Tide was there, Memorial took advantage. The Crusaders scored two power-play goals to improve to 10-2-0 and turn the tables after a 5-3 loss to the Tide just 11 days before. Concord slipped to 4-5-1. "It… 0

Bishop Brady vs. Trinity hockey

Bishop Brady knew it needed to try something different. After all, the first 30-plus tries had netted the same empty result just 10 days before, when Trinity and its goaltender Ryan Slatky handed the Green Giants hockey team a 1-0 shutout. "We played a lot of catch with him down there, and he started to do the… 0

Falcons fight back

122811 Bow Brady 02

It was a night for underdogs at the Capital City Hockey Classic. After watching Division II Dover upset Division I Concord, 2-1, Bow went out and did the same to Bishop Brady. The D-II Falcons used a hat trick from Chris Fournier and rock-solid goaltending from Connor Simpson to knock off the D-I Green Giants, 3-2… 0

Concord plays Bishop Brady Hockey

Concord High and Bishop Brady collected canned goods for the needy in the lobby of Everett Arena before last night's annual pre-Christmas hockey showdown. Too bad they couldn't collect extra cans for every penalty minute collected later in the game. In a 45-minute game, the crosstown rivals racked up 74 minutes… 0

Concord 3, Bishop Guertin 1

Sizzling start

121811 Conc BG11153993

Stacy Boudrias wanted shots ... she got shots. The new head coach has stressed offense to the Concord girls' hockey team, and that renewed onus on offense was clearly evident in the Crimson Tide's season opener. Concord unloaded from all angles, peppering the Bishop Guertin nets with 46 shots en route to a… 0

Concord 3, Berlin 2, OT

A jolt of life just in time

The wake-up call came late, but not too late. The Concord High boys' hockey team survived a late go-ahead goal by Berlin and came away from yesterday's home opener with a 3-2 overtime victory. "I think it motivated us more," Concord's Mitch Hayes said of Berlin's late goal. "We were starting to sit back on our heels a little bit more, and when they… 0

New leadership fuels lofty goals

When the Concord High girls' hockey team takes to the ice for today's season opener, Stacy Boudrias and Steph (Acres) Ala will be right at home. The two grew up playing hockey at Everett Arena, came up through the Concord Youth Hockey ranks and went on to play Division I college hockey. But when they were in high school not so long ago, there was no sanctioned girls' hockey league.… 0

Tide tries to fill holes at both ends

One question, with a two-pronged answer, hovers over the ice at Everett Arena like an early-morning fog. Who will fill the net for Concord High this season? It's a question at both ends of the ice. For two straight years, the Concord boys' hockey team has graduated the state's Player of the Year and leading scorer. Last year, the Crimson Tide filled the substantial skates… 0
