Some thoughts on the weekend’s local sports scene …
Did their going to the Frozen Four a year ago over inflate our expectations for the UVM Men’s Hockey team? The Cats are tied for seventh place this morning in the Hockey East standings. After getting just one point against Maine on home ice over the weekend, [...]
Greetings from Boston where last night we got another reminder that while the addition of a talented crop of high scoring young forwards has taken the unbeaten Norwich University Cadets to another level, when push comes to shove the strength of this team is still behind the blueline and in the nets.
Norwich goaltender Ryan Klingensmith [...]
A great effort is underway in the Vermont basketball community trying to raise money for one of the best hoop players in recent Vermont High School history.
