AUBURN — Five minutes. That’s all it took for Edward Little’s solid start to fade away, and for rival St. Dominic Academy to all but seal up another resounding victory in the series. The Saints scored twice late in the first period, twice more early in the second and skated away to a 6-0 win […]

Girls’ hockey: St. Dom’s evades Edward Little/Leavitt/Poland
AUBURN — Edward Little/Leavitt/Poland’s game plan worked to perfection Saturday night, and it still wasn’t enough to get undefeated rival St. Dominic Academy. The Red Hornets held their rivals well below their scoring average for the season, but the Saints scored just enough to skate away with a 2-1 victory in a girls’ hockey game […]
Boys’ hockey: Lewiston lights up Bangor
LEWISTON — Lewiston had a devil of a time trying to score goals on Bangor goalie Derek Fournier during the regular season last year. That wasn’t the case when the two teams met for the first time this season Wednesday night. They weren’t always pretty, but goals aplenty went in during the Blue Devils’ 12-0 […]
Boys’ Hockey: St. Dominic Academy swats away unbeaten Bangor
It was a bit of a shock, then, when St. Dominic Academy scored on consecutive shots just 39 seconds apart late in the second period of Tuesday’s Class A North tilt en route to a 3-1 victory as part of the St. Dominic Academy Christmas Classic hockey tournament at Norway Savings Bank Arena.

Hockey co-ops aren’t going anywhere
On any given snowy day during the school week, Brandon Pelton doesn’t know what to expect when he gets to hockey practice. “It can be tough. If there’s a snowstorm, one school can be out,” Pelton said. For Pelton’s team, it’s not as easy as no school, no practice. He is a junior on the […]
Boys’ Hockey: Lewiston shoves away Scarborough
LEWISTON — The penalty box was a busy place Wednesday night when Lewiston and Scarborough met on the Androscoggin Bank Colisee ice for a rematch of last year’s Class A boys’ hockey state championship.

Boys’ Hockey: A chance meeting for Toussaint brothers
AUBURN — It’s not uncommon for St. Dominic Academy senior Noah Toussaint’s eyes to get big when he’s bearing down on a freshman goalie. When that goalie is your little brother, though, it’s a different kind of eye-opening experience. Noah Toussaint and his younger brother, Gavin, had never played against each other in hockey before. […]
Boys’ Hockey: St. Dom’s shuts out Edward Little
This boys’ hockey rivalry game was a one-sided affair, with the Saints skating to a 7-0 Class A North victory at Norway Savings Bank Arena. Unlike in their opener, when they started off slow before finishing with a flurry, the Saints (2-0) got off to a hot start Wednesday. Justin Keaney scored less than two […]
Girls’ Hockey: St. Dom’s sizzles in the second, beats EL/Leavitt/Poland
The Red Hornets (3-1-1) had allowed just three goals total in their first four games. That was due in part to a veteran defensive corps, as well as freshman goalie Manny Guimond. The young netminder looked up to the task early on against a Saints (4-0) attack that entered the game with 31 goals in […]
UMaine men’s hockey team improving, but lacks consistency
The University of Maine men’s hockey team has taken the Alfond Arena faithful on a roller coaster ride during the first semester. On the positive side, the 7-9-3 Black Bears are only one win from tying last season’s win total (8-24-6). On the negative side, they are in last place in Hockey East (1-6-1). All […]
