PAT (Pepperell-Ashby-Townsend) hockey update
(Week #6) Oct. 10-15
Mite 1 (Dual State) PAT 8 Groton 1 Dual State Mites prove they are winners again. They moved up in the Dual State League from a "3" to a "2" team and they still came out as winners. Offensive power came from Richie Sharp, who made two goals and two assists, and Cam Johnson, contributing with two goals. Brian Walters, David Hurley and Tim Bernard helped keep the puck in front of Groton's goal. Brian Walters, on defense, scored a goal, while Hurley and Bernard were like brick walls; not many pucks snuck by them. When the puck did get by, Bernard was there to steal the puck away from the opponent, without getting a penalty.

Players of the Week: Offense: Richie Sharp; Defense: David Hurley; Hustle: Tim Bernard

Squirt 1 PAT 7 Nashoba 4 The Squirt 1 team faced off against a tenacious Nashoba team. Joshua Miller got the party started in the first period lighting the lamp just two minutes into the contest setting the tone for the game.

Jay Cobleigh set the tone on defense flying around the oval like his favorite driver Jeff Gordon, without fear but always under control.
