Panthers make a surge after being out shot in the first period.
Sluggish first periods have plagued the Panthers hockey team this season, but the mid-game surge that comes after has been a saving grace. On Saturday's game against Dover-Sherborn, Panthers took the ice at Veterans' Arena in Franklin in the second period down 2-1 after being out played in the game's first 20 minutes. "Luckily goalie Jamie Losanno keeps us in it, making 12 saves," coach Rick LeBlanc said in an email. The Panthers tied the score in the second period with a goal by Sophomore Forward, Tyler Perry. Dover-Sherborn struck first in the third, taking back the lead. But Junior forward Max Turcotte scored his 11th goal of the season with seven minutes left to play, evening the score and ending the game in a tie. "Dover-Sherborn…

Holliston Hockey played alongside the East Coast Jumbos, a special needs hockey team.
Holliston Hockey players took the ice at the DCU center Friday, using their sport to give back to fellow athletes as they played a game against the East Coast Jumbos, a special needs hockey team. Rick LeBlanc, the coach of both teams, said the match-up was beneficial for his players on both sides of the ice. Panthers players saw "how lucky they are to have hockey as a part of their life," while Jumbos players learn helpful life skills through the sport, LeBlanc said. "They have to do the drills in a certain way, not necessarily their way" LeBlanc said. "That teaches them discipline and skills they can use in their life." The Jumbos have upcoming games on Long Island and in Fenway Park next week.

Panthers Hockey fell to Bishop Feehan Tuesday.
A 3-0 first period deficit proved too much for the Panthers Hockey team to overcome Tuesday, as they fell to Bishop Feehan High in the opening round of the Bellingham Christmas Tournament. Coach Rick LeBlanc described his opponets as "hungrier" than his players, who were out-shot 12-1 in the first period. "We just seemd to lose the desire, and paid for it dearly," LeBlanc said in an email. But in the second period, the Panthers turned it on. Goalie Jamie Losanno let up only two goals through the game's remainder, as scores from Preston Trudeau, Ryan Nelson and Ben Weiner put the Panthers back in the running. First period woes turned out to be insurmountable however, as the Panthers fell 5-3 in the opening round of the Belingham …

The Panthers hope for a return to the state tournament and continued growth from an up-and-coming program.
The Panthers varsity hockey team will take on Hopkinton tomorrow and begin a season that head coach Rick LeBlanc hopes will bring continued growth from a team on the rise. Leading a fast, offense-driven team, LeBlanc hopes to outshoot his biggest challengers from Ashland, Hopkinton and Medway this season. "That's our biggest strength, we are young and energetic and we have speed," LeBlanc said. But young energy could also be the team's greatest challenge. Graduating 15 seniors last year, the Panthers face a lack of experience, with only a handful of veteran varsity players returning, LeBlanc said. To prepare for the upcoming season, LeBlanc has been networking with some of the best coaches around, including ones from the NHL and college…

Repairs were made to Brentwood's hockey heaven.
News that the “Cube” sustained substantial damage during the recent storm produced a small army of concerned yet hardy workmen this past weekend, determined to restore the Brentwood ice palace to its prior greatness. The “Cube” is the large, chain link fence enclosed ice hockey rink that emerged as last winter’s “place to be” for high school boys and their weekend warrior dads. Located behind Jack and Katie Connor’s home, the “Cube” had sat unused for decades, before Dan Higgins of Higloo Sports took action. Working closely with The Connors family (Holliston’s own Bob and Myra Kraft, sort of), Higgins helped introduce hockey as more than just a Play Station game for some, but a game actually played on ice.
