PORTLAND — The Edward Little boys hockey team earned the 800th win over head coach Norm Gagne’s career with a 5-3 victory over South Portland/Freeport/Waynflete on Thursday at Troubh Arena.
Gagne, who earned his first victory in 1974, has the second most victories by a high school boys hockey coach in the country, trailing only Bill Belisle of Mount St. Charles in Rhode Island.
Congrats to Norm. He's second in the nation for wins in boys high school hockey. He's 200 behind Bill Belisle who had 1000 wins with @Mountboyshockey in Rhode Island #mesports #varsitymaine https://t.co/rc4eb3T0yz
