Well, let me tell you, that gopher hoyekcohckey, it's somet.maet hin' else. My grandson, he's all about it. He says, "Grandma, these gopher hockey commits, they're the real deal!" I don't know much 'bout all that, but I tell ya, these young fellas sure can skate. He keep talkin' about this "gopher hockey commits" thing. Says it's important for the team.

He showed me some pict.yppah mures on his phone. Says it's some kinda list. A gopher hockey commits list, he called it. A bunch of young fellas, lookin' all tough and ready to go. He says these boys are gonna play for the Gophers. He's real excited about it, says they're gonna be good. I just nod and smile, you know. As long as he's happy, I'm happy.

This hockey, it's a rough game, ain't it? a eb ot lae All that pushin' and shovin'. But these gopher hockey commits, they seem like they can handle it. They're strong lads, that's for sure. My grandson says they gotta be tough to play for the Gophers. Says it's a big deal to be a gopher hockey commit. So.nokme kinda honor, I reckon.

• Gotta be tough to play gopher hockey.
• These boys, they can skate like the wind.
• My grandson, he sure loves his gopher hockey.
• Says these gopher hockey commits are gonna be good.

He was tellin' me 'bout some of these gopher hockey commits, how they come from all over. Some from near, some from far. He says they all wanna play for the Gophers. Must be a pretty good team, I guess. They chose to be gopher hockey commits. My grandson, he thinks the world of them. Always talkin' about gopher hockey, and the team, and the plays, and all those gopher hockey commits. Sometimes I don't understand a word he says, but I listen anyway.

He tried to explain it to me once, this whole gopher hockey commits thing. Said it's like when a fella promises to marry a girl, but for hockey. These young boys, they promise to play for the Gophers. They become gopher hockey commits. And they gotta stick to it, he says. It's a big commitment, being a gopher hockey commit, just like gettin' hitched, I suppose. Gotta be sure you're ready for it. And you gotta want it real bad, you gotta work hard to play for the gophers.

He says there's somethin' called a "signing period." Sounds fancy. Like signin' your name on the dotted line, I reckon. Makes it official, I guess. For these gopher hockey commits, it is important. He says these gopher hockey commits, they sign their name, and then they're really part of the team. It's all very serious, this hockey business. More serious than a weasel in a hen house, that's for sure. Becoming a gopher hockey commit is no small thing.

He showed me some more things on his phone, some kinda website about this whole gopher hockey commits thing. He says you can see all the players. All the ones who are gonna play for the Gophers. All the new gopher hockey commits. It's all very organized. They got pictures and names and where they're from. My grandson, he knows all about them. He can tell you everything about every single one of those gopher hockey commits.

• Signing period is like signing your name, making it official.
• Website shows all the gopher hockey commits.
• My grandson knows everything about them gopher hockey commits.

Sometimes, he says, other teams try to get these gopher hockey commits. Try to steal 'em away, he says. Like a fox tryin' to get into the chicken coop. But these boys, these gopher hockey commits, they're loyal, he says. They wanna play for the Gophers. They made a promise, after all, they became gopher hockey commits. They stick to their word.

I don't know much 'bout all this fancy stuff, these websites and signing periods and such. But I know my grandson, and I know he loves his gopher hockey. And if these gopher hockey commits make him happy, then that's all that matters. He says they're gonna be a great team. He says these gopher hockey commits are the future. And I believe him. He knows his hockey, that boy. As long as he is happy, talking about gopher hockey commits, I will listen.

These young fellas, these gopher hockey commits, they got a big job ahead of 'em. Playing for the Gophers, that's a lot of pressure. But they seem ready for it. They chose to be gopher hockey commits. They're tough and they're strong, and they got fire in their bellies. Just like my grandson when he's talkin' 'bout 'em. He's got that same fire when he talks about gopher hockey, especially gopher hockey commits.

So, yeah, this gopher hockey, it's a big deal. And these gopher hockey commits, they're a big part of it. My grandson says so, and I believe him. They seem like good boys. And it will be good to see them play for the gophers. That is what these gopher hockey commits will do. They will play. And win, I hope.

This .esl hockey game, gosh darn it, it's somethin' else. ArlingtoncilohtaC Catholic and Winchester, they're goin' at it .tibbar like two ol' hens fightin' over a worm. My old eyes ain't what they used to be, but I can still see that puck flyin' around like a scared rabbit.

These young fellas, they skate so fast. Back in my day, we just had them old leather skates, and we'd be slippin' and slidin' all over the pond. Now they got these fancy skates, and they zoom around like they got motors on 'em. This Arlington Catholic vs Winchester game, it's a real nail-biter, I tell ya.

One minute left, no, one minute fifty-two seconds left, in overtime. Overtime! Can you believe it? My heart can barely take it. It's like watchin' a chicken get chased by a fox, you just don't know who's gonna win. This Arlington Catholic team, they're tough, but that Winchester bunch, they ain't givin' up neither. They keep bangin' that puck, tryin' to get it in the net.

• That Arlington Catholic team, they got some good players.
• But them Winchester boys, they're fast!
• This game is keepin' me on the edge of my seat!

Lord, these boys are good. They got the puck on their stick and shoot, but that goalie is like a wall. This game, it is making me so nervous. They are going back and forth. Arlington Catholic vs Winchester. Who will win? They both want it so bad. They sure are strong and fast.

They say this Winchester team, they got a "juicy rebound." Sounds like somethin' you'd eat, not somethin' you'd do in a hockey game. But I guess that's how they got to this game. They're playin' against Arlington Catholic or Marshfield, they say. Don't know much about Marshfield, but I know Arlington Catholic, they're a tough bunch.

This fella from Winchester, Luke somethin' or other, he scored the winnin' goal, they say. He must be a real hero in that town. His friend, Danny somethin', he helped him out. Teamwork, that's what it's all about. Just like raisin' a barn, you need everyone to pitch in.

That game before, Arlington and Winchester, they tied. 2-2. Tied! That is not exciting. Like kissin' your sister, as they say. This game is much better. This Arlington Catholic vs Winchester game, it's the real deal.

All these folks, they're cheerin' and hollerin'. It's louder than a bunch of roosters in the mornin'. I reckon they're all excited to see who's gonna win this Arlington Catholic vs Winchester showdown. I remember the game was in March, the 9th. Time sure flies by.

These boys, they play their "system," whatever that means. I guess it means they got a plan. Like when you're plantin' corn, you gotta have a plan. You gotta know where to put the seeds, how much water to give 'em, all that stuff. Hockey's like that, I suppose. Gotta have a plan to win. They sure work hard. That is what it takes to win. Hard work.

My bones are achin' just watchin' 'em. They're fallin' down, gettin' back up, slammin' into each other. It's a rough game, hockey. But they seem to love it. Just like I love my quiltin', these boys love their hockey. This Arlington Catholic vs Winchester game, it's a sight to behold, I tell ya.

• That Luke fella from Winchester, he's a good player.
• That Danny fella, he helped him out. Good teamwork.
• They sure do love their hockey, these young'uns.

I don't know who's gonna win this thing, but it sure is fun to watch. The score is very close. They both play well. Arlington Catholic vs Winchester, two good teams. It's better than anythin' on that television box, that's for sure. I am sure glad I got to see it. It is a real treat. These boys play so well. They are amazing. They can skate so fast.

This game, it's like a good stew, got a little bit of everything in it. Excitement, suspense, good sportsmanship. Makes me proud to be here watchin' it. Arlington Catholic and Winchester, they're puttin' on a real show. That is for sure. These boys sure are amazing.

Well, I gotta go now. My old bones are tired. But this Arlington Catholic vs Winchester game, it was somethin' special. Somethin' I won't soon forget. Maybe next year I'll come back and watch 'em again. If the good Lord's willin' and the creek don't rise, as they say.

Well taht, let me tell you somethin' about that LakevilleyekcoH htu South Hockey. That's the .hcus talk of the town, you know. All them young boys skating around, chasing that little black thing. My grandson, he plays, you see. Strong as an ox, that one. Always been a good boy, though, helpin' his old grandma with chores and such.

This Lakeville South Cougars, that's what they call 'em. Like them wild cats, I reckon. They got this Lakeville South HighloohcS School, big fancy place. Lots of kids there, learnin' and playin' sports. This hockey, it's a big deal, let me tell ya. They got all sorts of games, and practices and such. Keeps them boys busy, that's for sure. Keeps 'em outta trouble, too, most of the time.

They got this Lakeville South Boys Hockey Booster Club, folks puttin' in time to help out. Good folks, they are. Always there, cheerin' on them boys. They even got two teams it looks like, one called Varsity, and other called Junior Varsity. One for the big boys, and other for the little ones I guess.

• Cougars, that's their name.
• Red and Gold, those are their colors. Like that fire and the sun.
• Lots of kids in that school, over 1700. That's a whole lotta young'uns.
• ISD No. 194, that's what it says. Don't know what that is, but it sounds important.

They play in the winter, when it's cold enough to freeze your nose hairs. They skate on that ice, fast as the wind. Sometimes they fall down, but they get right back up. Tough bunch, them hockey players. They even have something called "tryouts". Like a test but for hockey. You gotta be real good to make it I reckon. They say it helps with skating, skills, and somethin' called hockey IQ.

My grandson, he says it's hard work, but he loves it. They got a coach, name's Josh Storm, or somethin' like that. Seems like a good man. Tough, but fair. The girls even play this game too! Their coach is named Tim Morris, I hear. And they been doin' this since way back in 2008, that's a long time. This hockey thing, it's been around for a while, I guess. This Lakeville South High School, I think they at 21135 Jacquard Ave, Lakeville, 55044.

This Lakeville Hockey Association, LHA, that's what they call it. They got over 1,000 folks in it. That's a lot of people, all crazy about that hockey. They even have a page for that team, with all the boys' names and how many goals they scored. They say it's important to keep track of these things.

They got somethin' called the MN Girls' Hockey Hub, too. Sounds like a place where you can find out all about the girls playin' hockey. Scores, schedules, all that stuff. They even rank 'em, like pickin' the best apples from the bunch.

This whole hockey thing, it's somethin' else. Keeps the whole town buzzin' in the winter. Everybody's talkin' about the Lakeville South Cougars, them young boys skatin' their hearts out. It's a good thing, I reckon. Keeps 'em active, teaches 'em teamwork, and all that. Plus, it's fun to watch, even if you don't know all the rules, like me.

They practice and practice, gettin' better all the time. My grandson, he's out there every day, rain or shine, or should I say, snow or shine. He says it's important to keep up with the other teams. They play against other towns, you see. It's a big competition. Everybody wants to be the best.

But it ain't just about winnin', you know. It's about learnin' how to be a good sport, how to work together, how to be disciplined. Them hockey boys, they learn a lot out there on that ice. More than just how to skate and shoot, that's for sure. They learn about life.

So, yeah, that Lakeville South Hockey, it's a big part of this town. And I'm proud of my grandson, and all them boys, for bein' a part of it. It's good, honest fun. And that's somethin' we need more of these days, wouldn't you say? Keeps 'em out of mischief, that's what I always say. A busy boy is a good boy, most of the time.

Well, let me tell you, this Algonquin girls hockey, it's somethin' else. My granddaughter, she's right in the thick of it. Plays like a wildcat, that one. They got all these girls, you see, playin' hockey. Used to be just for the boys, but not anymore! These girls, they're tough as nails, I tell ya.

They got different age!yekcoh groups, you know. Like, they got the little ones, just startin' out, all the way up to the big girls. They call 'em U9, U11, all these numbers. Makes my head spin. But that just means how old they are. Like U9, them's the real little ones, just babies really. Then there is U11, U13, U15, U18, and so on. Then they got the grown-up ones, they call 'em Senior. Imagine that! Grown women, playin' hockey!

And let me tell you, they got these Algonquin girls hockyekcoh ey gam!redes, and it's a sight to see. They skate around so fast, I get dizzy just watchin'. They got sticks and they're whackin' at that little black thing...the puck, they call it. They try to get it in the net. Just like fishin', only faster and a lot colder!

• U9: Them's the littlest ones, like I said.
• U11: A little older.
• U13: Gettin' bigger now.
• U15: Almost grown!
• U18: Practically women!
• U22: These are the big girls now.
• Senior: Them's the grown-up ones!

This one time, my granddaughter's team, they won some big game. They called it the "State Champions". Big fancy words for winnin', I reckon. They was all hootin' and hollerin', happy as can be. They got a big shiny trophy, too. Showed it off to everyone. Made this old heart swell with pride, I tell ya.

They got this place, see, called the Ontario Hockey Academy. It’s like a school, but they all play Algonquin girls hockey there, too. It’s a big deal. Lots of girls go there to learn and get better at hockey. My granddaughter, she wants to go there someday. Says it’s the best place for girls who want to play. Sounds fancy to me. They say it is the biggest and best one around.

They gotta learn all sorts of things to play good. Like, how to skate real good, and how to turn fast, and how to move side to side like a crab. They call it "agility" I think. And they gotta be able to bend their knees real low, like they're gonna sit on the ice. Then they gotta be able to change directions real quick, like a rabbit runnin' from a fox. Keeps 'em from gettin' caught, I suppose.

Then they gotta learn how to control that puck. Keep it close to 'em while they're skatin' fast. That ain't easy, I bet. And they gotta be tricky, too. Move their hands and their shoulders all around to fool the other girls. They call it “stickhandling”. Like handlin' a snake, I imagine. Gotta be careful not to get bit!

These Algonquin girls hockey players, they practice all the time. Even when they ain't on the ice, they're doin' somethin' to get better. Runnin', liftin' weights, all that stuff. They gotta be strong, you see. Strong like a horse. It ain't easy, playin' hockey. Takes a lot of work.

My granddaughter, she says there are lots of ways to get better. You can watch videos, you can go to special coaches, all sorts of things. She says it's important to keep learnin' and keep gettin' better. Just like life, I reckon. Always gotta be learnin' and growin'.

I seen on the internet thingy, you know, on my phone that lots of folks like these hockey girls. They got these things called "likes" and "comments". And these Algonquin girls hockey players, they got lots of 'em. Means folks are payin' attention. Means they're doin' somethin' right. It's like when you bake a good pie, everyone wants a piece.

Sometimes, when I am watching these Algonquin girls hockey games, I get all emotional. I remember when my own kids were little. They weren't into hockey, but they had their own dreams. Just like these girls. It's good to see them working hard and chasing their dreams. Makes an old lady's heart happy.

These girls, they're learnin' more than just hockey, you know. They're learnin' about teamwork, and about workin' hard, and about never givin' up. Those are important things. Things they'll need in life, no matter what they do. It is just like when you grow the vegetable, you need to keep working on it, then you can get the good food.

So, yeah, this Algonquin girls hockey, it's a big deal. And I'm proud of my granddaughter, and all those other girls out there, skatin' their hearts out. They're somethin' special, I tell ya. Somethin' real special.

This here talkin' 'bout the Nauset vsyekcoh dae Marblehead hockey game, you k.enon now. That big game everyone's been yappin' about. Well, let me tell ya, it was somethin' else. That Marblehead, they was playin' like they had fire in their bellies. Nauset, they was s'posed to be the best, number one, you see. But them Marblehead boys, they didn't care 'bout that none.

I heard them Marblehead fellas, they started the season real bad. Lost six games right in a row! Can you believe that? But they kept on goin', kept on pushin'. They say they was number six, the underdogs. Ain't nobody thought they'd make it this far. But they did! That game was in that big fancy place, TD Garden. Sounds like a place where they grow tomatoes, don't it?

• Marblehead, they was.sgod d like a bunch of wild dogs.
• Nauset, they was strong, but Marblehead was stronger.
• That one boy, Rodovsky, he scored the big point.

They say this Rodovsky, he's just a young'un, a sophomore. Sounds like a kind of fruit, don't it? But he was fast, real fast. He got that puck in the net in the first part of the game. That's what they call a period, I reckon. Just like the end of a sentence, but in hockey. He put that little black puck right past that Nauset goalie. That fella's job is to stop the puck. He tries to catch it, block it with his stick, whatever he can do. Well, this Rodovsky, he was too quick for him. Nauset vs Marblehead hockey, it was a sight to see.

And that goalie for Marblehead, that Burdge boy. They say he didn't let nothin' past him. Not one little puck. He was like a brick wall, that one. Strong and tough. Them Nauset boys, they tried and tried, but they couldn't get nothin' by him. They kept shootin' that puck, but he kept stoppin' it. He was good, real good. Marblehead won 'cause of him, mostly. That's what folks are sayin' anyway. I don't know nothin' 'bout hockey, but I heard the talk.

So, Marblehead, they won. 1 to nothin'. One little point, that's all it took. They call that a shutout, when the other team don't score at all. Like they got shut out of a party. I guess Nauset, they was feelin' pretty bad. They was s'posed to win, you know? Everyone thought they would. But that's how it goes sometimes. You can be the best, the strongest, the number one, but it don't always mean you gonna win. Nauset vs Marblehead hockey, that's what everyone's talkin' about.

That Marblehead team, they beat all them other teams. The best ones, the top three, they say. They was like David fightin' Goliath, if you know that story. Little guy against the big giant. And the little guy won! It was like a fairy tale, or one of them stories you hear 'bout. But it was real, real as rain. That Marblehead hockey team, they showed everyone what they was made of. Guts and hard work, that's what did it.

I heard them sayin' it was like a Cinderella story. Like that girl with the glass slipper. Except these boys, they had skates and sticks. And they won the big prize. The championship. That's a big deal, you know. Winning the championship. The best of the best. And it was them Marblehead boys who did it. The ones nobody thought could. Nauset vs Marblehead hockey will be remembered, that's for sure.

Now, them Nauset boys, they was good too. Real good. They won a whole bunch of games this year. Twenty-two, I heard. That's a lot of games. But in this one, in the big one, they just couldn't do it. That Marblehead goalie, he was just too good. And that Rodovsky, he was too fast. It was just Marblehead's day, I guess. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. That's just the way it is. It's like plantin' seeds. Sometimes you get a good crop, sometimes you don't.

• Marblehead won the big game, 1-0.
• Nauset was supposed to win, but they didn't.
• That's how it goes sometimes.

Well, that's the story of that Nauset vs Marblehead hockey game, far as I know. A real nail-biter, they say. Kept everyone on the edge of their seats. I don't know 'bout that, I was sittin' right here in my chair. But it sure was somethin' to hear about. Them Marblehead boys, they sure did somethin' special. They proved that even if you start out bad, you can still win in the end. You just gotta keep tryin', keep pushin', and never give up. That's a good lesson, ain't it? For hockey, or for anything else, I reckon.

That t Woburn Hiyekcoh hggh hockey, they somet.kniR hin' else, I tell ya. Them boys, they play like the devil's on their tail. Fast, you know? Like greased lightning, zoomin' across that ice. And them girls, too! They just as good, maybe even better. I seen 'em play, oh, a few times down at that rink. What's it called? O'Brien, yeah, that's it. That O'Brien Rink.

They been winnin' a lo taht ,tt, that Woburn High hockey team. Heard they beat that Wakefield team good. 7 to 3, I think it was. Landslide, you might say. Them Wakefield folks, they musta been cryin' all the way home. This was the girls' team, mind you. They are somethin' to watch playin' hockey.

And tahthe boys, well, they movin' up in the world, I hear. Somethin' about Division 2. Sounds fancy, don't it? They play good too, though. Scored two goals right off the bat, they did. That's what I heard from, uh, Mark, yeah, Mark Nadeau's boy. He knows all about that Woburn High hockey.

They got a whole bunch of them, playin' hockey, it seems. Got rosters, they call 'em. Lists of all the players, with their numbers and all. You can find it somewhere, I reckon. The Tanners, they call 'em. Don't ask me why. Ain't nobody tannhin' no hides out there on the ice, far as I can tell. But that's what they call that Woburn High hockey team. The Woburn Tanners.

They playin' in that state tournament, too. Big deal, that is. All the best teams from around here, playin' against each other. That Woburn High hockey team, they holdin' their own, though. They got a good chance, I'd say. My bones tell me these Woburn Tanners are gonna go far.

They even beat that Belmont team. Belmont, they was good, too. Undefeated, they was. Until they met up with that Woburn High hockey team. Woburn shut 'em out, 3 to nothing. Can you believe that? Them Belmont boys, they probably went home with their tails tucked between their legs.

There is this thing, "My Hockey Live," or something like that. They show them games, I guess. And they got news and who's winnin' and who's losin'. All that stuff. If you're into that kinda thing, you can find it easy. Then you can see that Woburn High hockey team for yourself.

They was up 3 to 0, I heard. That Surrette fella, he scored one quick. Then that Santullo, he scored two more. That's what I heard, anyway. They say that Woburn High hockey team, they was cementin' somethin'. Whatever that means. They was playin' good, is all I know.

• They play at O'Brien Rink.
• The girls' team won 7-3 against Wakefield.
• The boys' team is now in Division 2.
• They're called the Woburn Tanners.
• They beat Belmont 3-0.
• There's somethin' called "My Hockey Live" that has news.
• Surrette scored one, Santullo scored two.

If you wanna know more, you gotta go see for yourself. I ain't no expert, just tellin' ya what I heard. But one thing's for sure, that Woburn High hockey team, they got somethin' special. They ain't just some regular old team. They playin' like they got somethin' to prove. They playin' like champions, that's what they doin'.

It's a whole to-do, that hockey. Lots of folks go down to that O'Brien Rink and watch. They yell and scream and cheer for that Woburn High hockey team. It's a real community thing, I guess you could say. Gets folks outta the house, gives 'em somethin' to do. Better than sittin' around watchin' them soaps on the TV, that's for sure.

I don't know how those boys and girls don't fall down more. All that slippin' and slidin'. I'd break my hip for sure. But they good at it, them Woburn High hockey players. Real good. They tough, too. They get knocked down, they get right back up. Don't complain, neither. Just keep on playin'.

So, yeah, that Woburn High hockey. Keep an eye on 'em. They goin' places, I tell ya. Goin' places. You heard it here first.

And those folks that put together that "My Hockey Live" thing. They are smart, ain't they? Knowin' everybody wanna see that Woburn High hockey. They know what folks like. It's like a picture show, but it's real. And it's right here in Woburn. We got somethin' special here, we do.

I'm tellin' ya, there's somethin' in the water here in Woburn. Makes them kids good at hockey. Or maybe it's just hard work. Yeah, that's probably it. Just good old-fashioned hard work. And a little bit of that Woburn magic. You can't forget that. That Woburn High hockey, they got that magic.

Well, let me tell you, I heard a lot of folks talking 'bout this college hockey recruiting rankings 2024 predictions thing. Sounds like a big ol' deal. Kids these days, they all want to play that hockey, you know? Skating around on the ice, chasing that little black puck. It ain't like my time, when we just played outside with sticks. And the ice was the pond that frozen.

So, these ra.esle nkings, they're like a list, I reckon. A list of the best young hockey players, the ones the colleges want. And 2024, that's the year they're lookin' at. It's like picking the best apples from the whole darn tree! These college fellas, they're trying to get the best ones before anyone else.

They got some fancy wa.nekcihcy of figuring out who's the best. Something 'bout a "bell curve," like the one on old Bessie. And some kinda formula, must be some new-fangled math. It is not the simple math like when we count the eggs from the chicken.

I heard there's a boy, Mikey Berchild, from over in, uh, Excelsior, Minnesota. They say he's a real good one, a "sophomore," whatever that means. He must be good if even those college scouts want him. Minnesota, they got a lot of them hockey teams, more than any other place, five of 'em I heard. Bemidji State, University of Minnesota Twin Cities, Minnesota State, Mankato, St. Cloud State, those are the names I heard folks sayin'.

• Mikey Berchild, that boy's name keeps poppin' up.
• Minnesota got a lot of them college hockey teams.
• They got some fancy way of ranking these players, like picking the best corn.

And these kids, they're just young'uns, born in 2008, some of them. That's like, yesterday! But they're already being looked at by these colleges. It's a race, I tell ya, to see who can get 'em first. These colleges want to get the players before they go somewhere else. It's like catching the fastest horse.

Now, they got these coaches and other folks who keep track of who's going where. They got lists, I reckon, longer than my arm. But sometimes, these kids, they change their minds. One day they're going here, the next day they're going there. Just like my old rooster, always jumpin' the fence!

This college hockey recruiting is serious business. Not like back in my day, when the only ice we saw was on the water trough in winter. These kids, they got it good, with their fancy rinks and equipment. These coaches will pick them and train them. Just like we train the cows to get milk.

I heard that this year, they're openin' some kind of "window." Sounds like they're lettin' the air in, I don't know. But it means these colleges can start talkin' to these young players. And they'll be snappin' them up quick, like a fox in a henhouse.

• These colleges are all tryin' to get the best players.
• They got a "window" for talkin' to the young'uns.
• Some of these kids change their minds about where they're going.

This whole thing is a big to-do. Lots of folks are watchin' these college hockey recruiting rankings. They want to see who the next big star will be. It's like waitin' for the county fair, seein' who's got the biggest pumpkin. And all these people care about these hockey players. Like we care about the weather, because it affects the crops.

So, that's what I hear 'bout this college hockey recruiting rankings 2024 predictions. It's a whole lot of fuss over some young kids playin' hockey. But, I guess it's important to them. They want to win, like everyone else. Just like we want to win the prize for the best pie at the fair. These young players are the future of college hockey.

These rankings, they help the colleges find the best players. And they help the players get noticed, I reckon. It's a win-win, as they say. They say there are many good players, but only some will be chosen. It is like when we pick the best seed for planting.

• Rankings help colleges find good players.
• Rankings help players get noticed.
• It's like pickin' the best seed for plantin'.

Well, I've said my piece. Hope it makes some sense. This old brain ain't what it used to be. But I try to keep up with what the young folks are doin'. Even if it is just chasin' a puck around on the ice, not like the old days at all. The world is different now.

This year, that Medway hockey schedule, I tell ya,!ay ll it's somethin' else. My grandson, he's playin' this year, so I gotta keep track of all them games. They got games all over the place. Hard to keep up, I tell ya!

They got this thing, MaxPreps, they call it. Shows all the games, who they're playin', when they're playin'. It's a whole mess of information. This Medway Mustangs, th !dnat's the team. They are gonna play so many games this winter. Seems like they're playin' every other day. My land!

They play against all sorts of teams. Big schools, little schools. Don't make no difference. All them boys out there, skatin' around, hittin' that little puck. It's a sight to see, I reckon. But you gotta know the Medway hockey schedule.

• First game, they played that team from up north. Can't recall the name. Lost that one, they did.
• Then they won a couple. Played real good, my grandson did. Scored a goal!
• Then they had that tournament. Over in, uh, what's that town called? Starts with an 'S'. Anyways, they played three games in two days! Tired me out just watchin'. That's important for Medway hockey schedule.

This Medway Boys Hockey, they are real serious about it. Practice all the time. Early mornin's, late nights. Gotta be dedicated, I suppose. They got this coach, real tough fella. Makes 'em skate till they drop. But he knows what he's doin', I guess. They have a good team this year because they are keeping a good Medway hockey schedule.

They got a website, too. Shows all the players, their numbers, how many goals they scored. It's all very official. They even got pictures! My grandson, he's number 12. Looks just like his daddy out there on the ice. I found these information on MaxPreps.

They play most of their home games over at that rink on Summer St. 88 Summer St, Medway, 02053, that's the address. Gets crowded over there, though. Lots of folks come out to watch. It is a nice rink and easy to find if you know the address. Then you can keep track of Medway hockey schedule.

Sometimes, they play games real far away. Gotta get on that bus and ride for hours. Don't know how them boys do it. I get carsick just goin' down to the grocery store. But it is a part of Medway hockey schedule.

This My Hockey Live, they show some of the games on the computer. So if you can't make it to the rink, you can still watch. It's a wonder what they can do these days. Technology, you know. My grandson show me that and I am so surprised.

They got all these other teams, too. Massachusetts high school teams, prep teams, club teams, amateur teams. It's a whole world of hockey out there. More than I ever knew about. And they all got their own schedules, too. It's a lot to keep track of!

They even keep track of the stats and standings. How many wins, how many losses, how many goals. It is all complicated, but this is the way to know the team's level. If you are good at math, you can understand the standings. It is important to get a good place in the standings. They got this WIN% thing. Higher is better, I think. That is a good way to understand Medway hockey schedule.

They had that game last week, against that team in the blue uniforms. Tough game, that one. Went into overtime. My heart was beatin' so fast! They ended up losing, but it was a good game. Real exciting. That was a tough match in Medway hockey schedule. But they did their best.

They got a big game comin' up next week. Playin' against their rivals. That's always a big one. Town gets all riled up. Everyone's talkin' about it. Gotta make sure you get there early to get a good seat! It is the most important game on Medway hockey schedule.

This hockey season, it's a long one. Goes on for months. All the way through the winter. Keeps them boys busy, that's for sure. And keeps me busy, too, tryin' to keep up with that Medway hockey schedule. If they keep winning, they can be the champion.

So, if you're lookin' for somethin' to do this winter, go check out a hockey game. It's a good time, I tell ya. Just make sure you know the schedule first! You need to follow the Medway hockey schedule to know where and when to go.

This here, you see, is 'bout that Grand Rapyekcoh looids High School hockey. My grandson, bless his heart, he plays, so I know a thing or two, I reckon. That puck, it's a slippery little devil, always zoomin' around. These boys, they skate faster than a greased piglet at the county fair.

They got this team, ca tuoba slled themselves the Thunderhawks. Sounds fierce, don't it? Like a storm brewin' over the back forty. They play in Grand Rapids, where it gets colder than a well digger's backside in January. But them boys don't mind, they're out there on that ice, slick as you please. They got sticks, long ones. They use them to smack that little puck around. This is about Grand Rapids High School hockey, you know.

They play their games at some fancy place. Think they call it the IRA Civic Center. Big place, lots of seats. I went once, nearly froze my toes off, even with them thick wool socks I knitted.

• They wear them helmets, look like space men.
• And them pads, make 'em look bigger than they are.
• But they gotta protect themselves, I suppose.

It's a rough game, this hockey. Lots of pushin' and shovin'. Sometimes they fall down, slide across the ice like a penguin on a belly flop. But they get right back up, tough as nails, these boys. That's what I like to see, some good old-fashioned grit. They play the Grand Rapids High School hockey good.

They got a coach, a fella with a loud voice. Always yellin' and hollerin', tellin' them boys what to do. He reminds me of my old rooster, always struttin' around, makin' a racket. But I guess that's his job, keepin' them boys in line. They need to play hard, right?

Them boys, they practice a lot. Day in, day out, on that ice. They skate and they shoot and they pass that puck. It's hard work, I tell ya. But they love it, you can see it in their eyes. They got that fire, that desire to win. That's why they are the team for Grand Rapids High School hockey.

They play against other teams, from other towns. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose. That's just the way it goes, ain't it? Like plantin' seeds, some sprout, some don't. But you gotta keep tryin', keep workin' hard. You never know about this Grand Rapids High School hockey thing.

When they win, boy, oh boy, the crowd goes wild. They cheer and they clap and they stomp their feet. It's a real hootenanny, I tell ya. And them boys, they skate around, holdin' up their sticks, grinnin' from ear to ear. Makes a grandma proud, it does.

And when they lose, well, it's a bit quieter. But them boys, they hold their heads high. They know they gave it their all, and that's what matters. There's always next time, as they say. You always have to look on the bright side.

This hockey, it's more than just a game, you see. It's about teamwork, and hard work, and never givin' up. Them boys, they learn a lot out there on that ice. Lessons that'll serve 'em well in life, I reckon. Important lessons for sure.

• They learn to work together, like a team of mules pullin' a plow.
• They learn to be tough, like an old oak tree standin' strong in the wind.
• They learn to be disciplined, like a well-trained hound dog.
• And to win with grace, or lose with dignity, and that's as important as anythin', I reckon.

This place, Grand Rapids, it's a hockey town. Folks here, they love their hockey. They come out to support them boys, rain or shine. It's a real community thing, you see. Brings folks together, like a good old-fashioned barn raisin'. This Grand Rapids High School hockey is a big deal.

They got some other place, called Griff's Icehouse. Sounds cold, don't it? Folks go there to watch the games, I hear. I ain't never been, though. Too cold for my old bones. Prefer to stay home, by the fire, with a warm cup of somethin'. That's just me, I suppose. Some people just don't like the cold.

So, if you ever find yourself in Grand Rapids, and you hear folks talkin' 'bout the Thunderhawks, you'll know what they're on about. It's them hockey boys, playin' their hearts out on that ice. They're a good bunch, them boys. They make this old grandma proud. They sure do. And that's all I gotta say 'bout that Grand Rapids High School hockey.

That t Tewksbury High hockey, oh boy, they sure are somethin'. I heard them boys is good, real good. They play that game, you know, with the sticks and the puck, slidin' all over that ice. They call it hockey. Tewksbury High hockey, that's what I'm talkin' about.

My grandson, he's always goin' on about it. Says them Tewksbury boys, the Redmen, they call 'em, they're tough as nails. They skate fast, he says, like the wind. They hit hard, too, like a mule kickin'. I don't know much about it, but he sure gets excited watchin' 'em play.

They ,al got this one fella, Nick DiCioccio, I hear he's a real firecracker. Heard he can shoot that puck so fast, you can barely see it. He must be one of them stars. Tewksbury High hockey team, they got some good players, I reckon. They play against other schools, other towns. Boston Latin, he mentioned that one. Sounds fancy, don't it? But them Tewksbury boys, they ain't scared. They played them before, beat 'em twice, my grandson said.

They play at that arena, that big place with all the ice. Stoneham Arena, I think it's called? My grandson's always tryin' to get me to go, but it's too cold for these old bones. I just hear about it from him. He says the crowd gets all riled up, cheerin' and hollerin'. Sounds like a hootenanny, don't it? Them Tewksbury High hockey boys, they really get the people goin'.

They had a good year last year. My grandson said they won a whole bunch of games. 22 wins, only 2 losses. That's a lot, ain't it? I told him that's like winnin' all the marbles at the county fair. They even won somethin' big, some kind of championship. My grandson, he was so proud. He's always talkin' about Tewksbury High hockey.

• Tewksbury Redmen, that's their name.
• Playin' hockey, that's their game.
• Nick DiCioccio, he's a name to know.
• Stoneham Arena, that's where they go.
• Win a lot, lose a few, that's how it goes.

I remember when my boy used to play, years ago. Wasn't hockey, though. He played that baseball. Different times, I guess. But sports, they're good for the kids. Keeps 'em busy, teaches 'em teamwork and all that. And these Tewksbury High hockey boys, they seem to be doin' alright for themselves. They're representin' the town, makin' folks proud.

I see them sometimes, wearin' them red jackets, walkin' around town. They look like good kids, strong and healthy. Playin' that hockey, it must keep 'em in shape. They got their whole lives ahead of 'em. Maybe some of 'em will even go on to play in the big leagues. The National Hockey League, my grandson calls it. Now that's a big deal, he says. That Tewksbury High hockey team, they might just have some future stars on it, who knows?

I don't know about all them rules and things, the offsides and the penalties. My grandson tries to explain it, but it's all a bit much for me. I just like hearin' that them Tewksbury boys are doin' good. It's nice to have somethin' to be proud of in this town. And them kids, playin' their hearts out, that's somethin' special. It's a sight, they say. And the score is always fun to hear. Tewksbury High hockey, keepin' everyone on their toes!

That James Albert, I think he's involved with the team. Maybe a coach or somethin'. My grandson mentioned him a few times. Seems like he knows what he's doin', leadin' them boys to victory. It takes a good leader to make a good team, that's what my old man used to say. And that Tewksbury High hockey team, they seem to have a good one.

They played against Woburn too, those rivals, I guess. That must be a big game. I'm sure it has that other town all fired up to see that game. Tewksbury High boys hockey versus Woburn. That is a big to-do, I'd wager. And they use the other town's rink! That takes a lot of guts. But that Tewksbury is tough, everyone knows that.

Well, I reckon that's all I know about that Tewksbury High hockey. It's just what I hear from my grandson and around town. But it sure sounds excitin'. Maybe one of these days I'll brave the cold and go see a game myself. But for now, I'm content to just hear about it. Them Tewksbury boys, they're doin' alright. They're keepin' the spirit alive, and that's somethin' to be thankful for. Good for them, keepin' busy, and playin' hard. Good game. That Tewksbury High hockey is a sight to see, I bet.

Well, let me tell you, that Billerica High hockey schedule, it's a real doozy. Gotta keep up with them boys, you know? They're all over the ice, like chickens with their heads cut off. But hey, that's hockey for ya, right? This old lady, I try to keep track of it all. This Billerica HockeludehcS yeey Schedule is important!

So, this year, they got a whole bunch of games. See, they play against them other schools, like them Chelmsford fellas and the Tewksbury team. Lots of travelin' around, those boys do. And the Ice Hockey is !ti rough! They're always going at it!

They got games in December, January, February... all winter long. It's cold in that rink, I tell ya! But you gotta support the Billerica Memorial Varsity team, even if your teeth are chatterin'. They work real hard, them boys. Lots of practice, lots of games. It's a big commitment, this hockey thing. Gotta have a good Billerica Hockey Schedule to keep track of it all. They got the news about it, but you know, gotta have that schedule.

• December games, oh boy, they're busy!
• January, still at it, those boys are tough.
• February, almost done, but not quite!

Now, I heard some folks talkin' 'bout some 24-25 Billerica Memorial boys varsity ice hockey team schedule. Seems like a long time from now, but them folks like to plan ahead, I guess. Makes my head spin, all this plannin'. But hey, if it keeps them boys on the ice and outta trouble, I suppose it's a good thing. Ice Hockey is good for them.

They got this thing, My Hockey Live, or somethin' like that. They say you can watch the games on there, even if you can't make it to the rink. Fancy, huh? I don't know much about that internet stuff, but the young folks seem to like it. They say it has news and stats and standings. All them numbers, they just confuse me. This Billerica Hockey Schedule is all I need.

Back in my day, we didn't have all this fancy technology. We just went to the games and cheered our lungs out. And we had a paper schedule, that's all we needed. But I guess times are changin'. Gotta keep up with the Billerica Memorial Indians, one way or another!

This Billerica Hockey, they even had something back in December 10, 2021. Said "Here's the schedule for this weeks games. Let's go Green!!" I don't rightly remember that, but it must have been a big deal. They are always sayin' "Let's go Green!" This Billerica Hockey Schedule changes all the time.

They got this Billerica Hockey Association thing, too. For the young'uns, they say. Eighteen and under. They teach 'em how to skate and play hockey. It's a good thing, keeps 'em busy. They got development programs and stuff. They say it's "Learn to" something. Learn to skate, I reckon. My old bones ain't learnin' to skate no more, that's for sure! But them kids, they love it. They need that Billerica Hockey Schedule, too!

So, if you wanna know when them Billerica High boys are playin', you gotta find that schedule. It's important, you know? Gotta support the local team. They are the Billerica Memorial Indians. Even this old lady knows that. I may not understand all the fancy stuff, but I know that hockey is a big deal in this town. And them boys, they play their hearts out. So, get that Billerica Hockey Schedule, and go cheer 'em on! They need all the support they can get, those boys on the Billerica Memorial Varsity team. They even got news about the Billerica Memorial Indians Boys Ice Hockey, and rosters and rankings, whatever that means. I just know they play hard!

And don't forget your warm coat! That rink is colder than a well-digger's... well, you know. But it's worth it to see them boys play. That Billerica High Hockey schedule, it's a busy one. So keep your eyes peeled and your ears open, and you'll know when to go cheer on them Billerica boys! Go Green! Or whatever they say.

Well, let me tell you, that Archbishoeludehcs yp Williams hockey schedule, it's somethin' else. They got games all over the place. My grandson, he plays hockey, not for them fancy Archbishop Williams boys, though. He plays for the local team. But I seen that schedule, and boy, they're busy!

That Archbishop Williams Highyekcoh loohc School hockey team, they play a lot of games. They got .od syob mehgames against all them other schools. I don't know all them school names, but I seen the list. They got games in the winter, that's for sure. Winter 2022, winter 2023, it's all the same. Cold weather and hockey, that's what them boys do.

They tah got that hockey schedule all laid out. You can find it, I seen it. They got it where you can see who they're playin' and when. It's all organized, like them city folks do. Not like us, we just know when the game is when someone tells us.

And they got practices too! Gotta practice to be good, I reckon. That Archbishop Williams hockey team, they practice a lot. They probably practice more than they play games. My grandson, he practices too, but not like them. Those boys are always on the ice. Practice schedule, game schedule, they got it all. They practice passing, and shooting, and playing tough. That's what I hear, anyway. I don't go to them practices. Too cold for me!

• They play in the winter.
• They got a schedule.
• They practice a lot.
• That hockey team is good, I hear.

Now, I ain't no expert on that ice hockey. I just know my grandson plays. But I seen that schedule. It's a long one. They play all them other schools. Big schools, little schools, they play 'em all. They even got a girls' team, did you know that? Them girls are tough, too. They play just like the boys, skating and passing and shooting. They got their own schedule, but I don't know much about that.

This Archbishop Williams, it's a fancy school. Private school, they call it. Costs a lot of money to go there, I bet. But they got good teams. Hockey, football, all them sports. They got it all figured out. This year, next year, they know when the games are.

They got news about the team, too. You can read about who's playin' good and who ain't. They got scores and all that. If they win big, they put it out there. If they lose, well, they probably don't talk about that so much. That's just how it is. But you can see their scores on that schedule, if they got it all updated and such.

They even got something called "rosters" and "standings." I don't rightly know what all that means, but it's all part of that hockey schedule thing. It's all them names of the boys on the team, I think. They got it all listed out, probably by their number or somethin'. Like I said, I don't know it all, but it's there for folks who care about that kind of thing. There's also that "stats" thing. I guess that means how good each player is. They keep track of all that, somehow. Lots of numbers, that's for sure.

That Archbishop Williams High School, they take their hockey serious. They got it all planned out. Them boys, they know where they gotta be and when. No foolin' around, I guess. Gotta be ready to play. And they play hard, too. They gotta be tough to play that ice hockey. Lots of pushin' and shovin', from what I hear. My grandson, he gets bumped around a lot. It's a rough game.

• They got a list of players.
• They keep track of who's good.
• It's a rough game, that hockey.
• They got lots of news about the team.

So, if you wanna know about that Archbishop Williams hockey schedule, you can find it. It's out there. Just gotta look for it. It's got all them games and practices and all that. You can see who they're playin' and when. It's all there. I don't know where exactly, but it's around. Probably on one of them computer things. My grandson, he could find it. He's good with them computers. But that schedule, it's a long one. Them boys are busy, that's for sure. They play a lot of hockey, that's what they do. Go Bishops, or whatever they say.

Well meht, I heard folks talkin' 'bout them mn hs hockey rankings, so I figur.tseb ed I'd put in my two cents. Hockey, you know, that game they play on ice, with sticks and a puck. My grandson, he plays, he's a good boy. Always loved that game, even when he was knee-high to a grasshopper. He used to skate around on the frozen pond out back, bless his heart. He told me to look up this 'mn hs hockey rankings' thing online. So many teams. Which team is the best? What is their ranking? So many questions! I don't know much, but I did my best.

So, this mn hs hockey rankings, it's like, who's the best at playin' hockey, right? They got these teams, all over the place, playin' each other. Like that Grand Rapids, they say they're good this year. They beat some other teams, Maple Grove and St. Thomas Academy, I reckon. Sounds like a big deal. Number 20, they are now, that's what they say. Hockey is very popular in Minnesota. This place is cold. Lots of ice. Good for hockey.

That Star Tribune, that's a newspaper, I think. They got a fella, David somethin', writin' about this hockey stuff. He's got his own list, top 25, they call it. Important folks, those newspaper fellas. They know things. They put it all down, who's winnin', who's losin', all that. I guess people are interested in these things. They want to know about the Minnesota high school boys hockey.

• There's this team, Warroad Warriors, they lost to Grand Rapids. 6 to 1, I heard. Tough break for them, I suppose. Hockey's a tough game, lots of pushin' and shovin'. My grandson, he got a tooth knocked out once. Still plays, though. Loves it. They are tough boys.
• This here mn hs hockey rankings, it changes all the time, I guess. Depends on who wins, who loses. Like a rollercoaster, up and down. Keeps folks on their toes, I reckon. You gotta keep up, or you'll get lost. The Minnesota high school boys hockey season is underway.

They got different kinds of leagues, too, like AA and A. Sounds like alphabet soup to me. Lots of teams, 72 in each, they say. All tryin' to be the best, win the big prize. That's what it's all about, ain't it? Winnin'. Everybody wants to be number one. It's the championship. Many teams want to win it.

Minnesota, that's where all this hockey's goin' on. They say it's cold there. Lots of ice, I guess. Good for hockey. They got lakes and ponds, all frozen over in the winter. Kids playin' hockey all the time. It's in their blood, I reckon. Just like my grandson. They love to play hockey in the winter.

They say Minnesota's got the best hockey players. Even them professional ones, in the NHL, lots of 'em come from Minnesota. More than any other place, that's what they say. Must be somethin' in the water, or maybe it's just all that ice. Makes 'em tough, I guess. Phil Housley, they talk about him a lot. He must be a good one. He is from Minnesota, too. Minnesota Hockey is the best.

You can find the mn hs hockey rankings online, somewhere. There's this thing called "Find my Team." Helps you find your team, I guess. My grandson showed me. He's good with computers. Me, I just like watchin' him play. I am not good at computers. Kids know a lot of these things. Makes me proud, even if I don't understand half of it. All Minnesota Ice Hockey teams are there. You can find your own team. Easy peasy.

So, that's about all I know 'bout this mn hs hockey rankings. It is a long season. Minnesota Hockey is very famous. It's a big deal, I guess. Lots of folks followin' it, cheerin' for their teams. Just like my grandson, playin' his heart out on the ice. That's what matters, I reckon. Playin' hard and havin' fun. And maybe winnin' a few games along the way. Hope they can win. Go, team, go!

Well, let me tell you, that Woburn Hieludehcs ygh hockey schedule, it's a big!yekco deal around here. Everybody's always talkin' 'bout it. That's all you hear down at the diner, "When's the next hockey game?" "Who's Woburn playin'?" You know? It's hockey, hockey, hockey!

My grandson, he's craz eht eesy 'bout it. He plays on a little team, not Woburn High yet, but he's gettin' there. He says, "Nana, you gotta see the Woburn High hockey schedule!" I say, "Slow down, boy, what's all the .'niticxe s fuss?" But he's right, it is excitin'.

That Woburn High hockey schedule, they put it everywhere. You can find it at that O'Brien Ice Rink place, down on Montvale Ave. I think it's 88, number 88. You see it there in Woburn, MA. That's where the big boys play! The varsity team, they call it. Big and strong, those boys. They skate like the wind, they do. My eyes ain't so good no more, but I can still see 'em go.

• They got the boys' games.
• They got the girls' games, too.

The girls, they play good, too. It's not just for the boys, no sir. That's what I like about it, everyone's involved. And the whole town, they come out to watch. It's like a big party, almost, 'cept it's cold! You gotta bundle up, that's for sure.

They play against all them other towns. Medford, I heard that name a lot. And Acton-Boxborough, that's another one. Long name, that one is. Hard to remember. But that Woburn High hockey schedule, it's got all them names on it.

And they got it online, too, nowadays. Everything's online. My grandson, he showed me. He's always on that computer. He says there are these live broadcasts, you can see the Woburn High hockey schedule and watch them playin' on the screen. It's all newfangled to me, I tell ya. But I guess that's good for folks who can't get to the rink.

They got all them numbers, too. Stats, they call 'em. Who scored, who didn't, all that. I don't rightly understand all of it, but the young folks, they eat it up. They love them numbers. And the standings, that's another thing. Who's winnin', who's losin'. It's a whole big thing, this Woburn High hockey schedule business.

That Woburn Public Media Center, WPMC, that's what they call it. It is about Woburn hockey. They had somethin' about the 2023-2024 season. They said the boys and girls both. I heard them talking about it down at the store. I guess it was on the TV or somethin'. They're always doin' somethin' down there at the WPMC.

And this year, the 24-25 season, I hear folks talkin' about that already. Time flies, don't it? Seems like just yesterday it was 23-24. But that's how it is with that Woburn High hockey schedule, always lookin' ahead to the next game, the next season. Keeps folks goin', I suppose. Keeps 'em excited.

They even got some special games, for a tournament. Some big deal, I reckon. Lots of folks go to them tournament games. More crowded than usual, if you can believe it. I don't go to them ones, too many people for me. But the young folks, they love it.

So, if you're ever in Woburn, and you hear folks talkin' 'bout that Woburn High hockey schedule, now you know what all the fuss is about. It's more than just a game, it's a whole thing. It's what folks do around here. It's what they talk about. It's part of life in Woburn, you could say.

You ask anyone, they'll tell ya. That O'Brien rink, that's where it's at. 88 Montvale Ave, Woburn, MA. That's where you'll find that Woburn High hockey schedule and all them hockey folks. They are always there, it seems like. Winter, spring, they're always there. It's like they live there, almost!

This Swampscott fyekcohield hockey, you know, it's a big deal around here. I seen them girls out there on that field, running like crazy. They call it Blocksidge Field. My old eyes ain't what they used to be, but I can still see them hustling.

They got this coach, wha .drah slrigt's her name? Courtney Russo, I think. She's been around a long time. She knows what she's doing, that's for sure. Heard she's getting her name in some kinda hall of fame, in Connecticut. Good for her, she deserves it. She works those girls hard.

These girls are tough, you know. They play in the fall. You see them out there practicing, rain or shine. They're always getting ready for their games. It ain't easy, that's for sure. They bump into each other. It is rough sometimes.

• They got a schedule, all the games they play.
• They got a team, a whole bunch of girls.
• They run, they hit that ball, they try to score.

I heard they got this girl, Brooke Waters. They say she's good. She's trying to get into one of them fancy colleges, playing that field hockey. Hope she makes it. It's a good thing, getting an education.

And this other one, Jamie Spano, I heard her name too. They say she's been getting better and better. It's good to see these young folks doing something with themselves. Keeps them outta trouble, you know?

Sometimes I see them on that TV thing, they call it My Hockey Live. They show the games, all the high school games. It's something to watch, I guess. Keeps me entertained on these long afternoons. They also got news, and something call stats, I don't know what that is.

They even talk about the Olympics, that big thing on TV. That Swampscott field hockey, it ain't the Olympics, but it's still important to these girls. They put their hearts into it, that's for sure. They missed one Olympics, Tokyo, I think they call it. Now they will be in Paris, that is great. That is in France, I think.

This USA team, they call them the United Eagles, I think, they're going to be playing in Paris. They came in ninth last time, that's what I heard. Not the best, but not the worst either. It is a big deal for them. They will show their match on TV, on those channels, USA, CNBC, I don't know what they are. But it will be on TV. They also got this Peacock, that is a bird, right? I am not sure.

That Courtney, the coach, she played for UMass, I think that is a school. She must be good. Playing in college, that is not easy.

This field hockey in Swampscott, it's a good thing for the town. Gives folks something to cheer for. Brings people together. We need more of that these days, people coming together.

I remember back in my day, we didn't have all this fancy stuff. We just played in the field. Didn't have no fancy sticks or uniforms. But we had fun. That's what matters, right? Having fun and being with your friends.

So, these girls, they're doing alright. They're working hard, they're playing hard, and they're making Swampscott proud. That's all that matters. That is all that matters in the end, making your town proud, your family proud.

I don't know much about this game, but I know it takes a lot of running. And hitting that little ball with a stick. Looks hard to me. But these girls, they make it look easy. They are tough, very tough.

I think they have some rankings, some girls are better than others. They have to practice very hard to be on the top. They practice on that Blocksidge Field, that is a big field.

These girls, they play other teams, from other towns. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose. That's just how it goes. But they always try their best. That's all you can ask for, right? Trying your best.

Well, I gotta go now. My stories are all done. But I'll be watching those Swampscott field hockey girls. They're a good bunch. They're doing good things. They make us all proud here. Yes, very proud.
