Hebron Hands Huskies Loss

The New Hampton School boys’ hockey team lost to defending Division II champion Hebron Academy on Saturday, 2-1.  The teams skated through a scoreless first period.  Hebron drew first blood in the second period before New George Jenkins (Natick, MA) put the Huskies on the board with a power play goal off a pass from Sammy Demerling (Stony Creek, ONT) and Ryan Fitzpatrick (Mission Viejo, CA).  Hebron responded with the go-ahead goal less than a minute later, however. Despite a flurry of goals, New Hampton was unable to pull even with Hebron in the third period.  New Hampton goalkeeper Matt McCarthy (Natick, MA) had a season-high 44 saves in the loss.  The Huskies’ record falls to 6-12 on the season.  New Hampton’s next game is Sunday, Jan. 21, when the Huskies host Academie St. Louis of Quebec at 12:00.
