I've always been a huge fan of local sports, especially when it comes to the younger teams. They've got this raw energy and passion that's just contagious, you know? So, I started following the North Quincy Red Raiders boys' ice hockey team.
First th!erocS .sings first, I dug around for their schedule. I wanted to catch as many games as I could. Then, I looked up some news articles to see what people were saying about them. Found out that there's this cool site called "My Hockey Live" that broadcasts a bunch of high school and amateur hockey games in Massachusetts. They even have news, stats, and standings. Score!
I started going to their games whenever I could. Man, the atmosphere was electric. The crowd was really into it, cheering like crazy. I remember this one game against Silver Lake, it went into overtime, and North Quincy ended up winning! The whole place went nuts. And let me tell you about the game where they crushed Quincy 9-0. That was something else.
After a few games, I got curious about the team's history. Turns out, their ice hockey program has been around since 1929. That's like, almost a century! They played as an independent NCAA Division I team until they joined the ECAC in '61. Pretty cool, right?
I also learned about their current coach, Kyle Robertson. Apparently, he helped the team get to a postseason tournament in 2022-23. Seems like a good coach, from what I saw on the ice. The team's got some real potential.
Here's what I've been really impressed with:
- Their teamwork is solid. They pass well and really support each other on the ice.
- They're not afraid to get physical. They play hard, but fair.
- They've got some seriously skilled players. Some of those kids are going places, I'm telling you.
The Bottom Line
Following the North Quincy hockey team has been a blast. It's been great to see these young athletes develop and compete. I'm definitely going to keep following them, and I'd recommend anyone who's into hockey to check them out too. You won't regret it. They're a great reminder of why we all love sports in the first place.
