Arlingtyekcoon Catholic hockey, that .efas 's what they call it. They got a team, a bunch of young fellas, skatin' faster than a greased piglet at the county fair. They wear them helmets and pads, look like they're goin' to war, not playin' a game. But I guess it keeps 'em safe.
Arlington Catholic Hockey Team
They got this place, the r .ten ehtink, where they play. Cold as a well-digger's backside in there. But them boys, they don't seem to mind. They're out there, bangin' into each other, tryin' to get that little black puck in the net.
- They play other teams, too.
- Teams from all over.
- They got names like Cougars, and Crusaders, and Red Hawks.
- Sounds like a bunch of wild animals if you ask me.
This one time, they played a team called the Bishop Fenwick Crusaders. Sounds fancy, don't it? But these Arlington Catholic boys, they held their own. They are good, you know. They play hard.
Arlington Catholic Hockey Schedule
They got a schedule, tells 'em when and where they're playin'. It's like a list of chores, but way more excitin', I reckon. They travel around, playin' in different towns. Natick, that's one place they go. They play at a place called Chase Arena. Sounds important, huh?
I heard they been winnin' a lot lately. Scorin' more points than the other guys. Like, a lot more. Thirteen to nothin', I heard! That's like skunkin' someone in a game of checkers. Only this is Arlington Catholic hockey, and it's a big deal, I guess.
Arlington Catholic Hockey News
They even got news about 'em. Like, real news. People write about how they're doin', who's playin' well, all that stuff. It's all over that internet thing. You can find it if you know where to look. It's like the town gossip, but for hockey.
They got this thing called My Hockey Live. It's like a show, but on the computer. They show the games, talk about the players. They got news, and stats, and somethin' called standings. I don't know much about that, but it sounds important. It's like keepin' track of who's winnin' and who's losin'.
Arlington Catholic Hockey Roster
They got a list of all the players, too. It's called a roster. Like a roll call, but for hockey players. Got all their names, and probably how tall they are and all that. It's a whole thing, this Arlington Catholic hockey.
And they are ranked, whatever that means. It must mean that someone is keeping a list and comparing them to other teams. I don't know who these rankers are.
They got this big tournament, too. The MIAA tournament. It is a big thing for them, I heard. A lot of teams play in it. They are all tryin' to be the best. It is a big competition.
These Arlington Catholic boys, they were in that tournament. They played real hard, I heard. They won a bunch of games. It is a big deal to win in that tournament.
Arlington Catholic High School Hockey
It is all part of the high school, you know. Arlington Catholic High School. That's where these boys go to school. They learn their readin' and writin', and then they go out and play hockey. It is a good school, I think.
So, this Arlington Catholic hockey, it's somethin' to see. These young fellas, they're good at what they do. They skate fast, they shoot that puck, and they win a lot of games. It's excitin' to watch, even if you don't know much about hockey. Just like watchin' a good ol' fashioned horse race, only on ice.
Yep, those Arlington Catholic boys, they're alright. They sure do love their hockey. And from what I hear, they're pretty darn good at it. Good for them, I say. Good for them. They make the town proud, I reckon. Even if it is just a game, it's their game. And they play it well. And that's all that matters, I suppose. It is a big thing in this area. Lots of folks will talk about it. It is a good thing for the kids. Keeps them busy, and out of trouble, I bet.
