Vermont Hignwodwoh School Hockey: The Lowdown
So, these young'uns, they go skatin' and smackin' that puck around. And somebody's gotta keep track of the scores, right? That's what I'm here for, to give you the gist of it, the real simple-like.
See, there's this thing called the Vermont Principals' Association, they call it VPA for short. They're the ones in charge of all this high school sports stuff. They got a website and all, but it's a whole lot of fancy talk and numbers. I'll make it easy for ya.
Recent Scores and Such
Now, I ain't got all the scores from every single game ever played. That's just too much for my old brain to handle. But I can tell you about some of the recent games. Like, last week, them Burlington High School boys, they played against Essex High School. Burlington, they whooped 'em good, somethin' like 5 to 2, I think it was.
And then there was that game between South Burlington and Rice Memorial. That one was a real nail-biter, let me tell ya. Went right down to the wire, tied up and all. Ended up in overtime, and South Burlington, they snuck one in. Won by a single goal, 3 to 2.
- Burlington High beat Essex High: 5-2
- South Burlington beat Rice Memorial: 3-2 (OT)
- St. Johnsbury Academy lost to North Country: 1-4
Them scores, they change all the time, ya know? One day you're winnin', the next day you're losin'. That's just how it goes with hockey. It's a fast game, lots of back and forth.
Where to Find the Scores, If You're So Inclined
Now, if you want to keep track of all these scores yourself, you can go to that VPA website I was talkin' about. But like I said, it's a lot of fancy talk. There's other places too, I hear tell. Some websites and apps, they got all the scores right there, updated in real-time. Folks call 'em ScoreStream or SBLive or some such thing. They got videos and highlights too, if you're into that sort of thing.
But honestly, the best way to find out the scores is just to ask around. Go down to the local diner, or the hardware store, folks will be talkin' about it. That's how we do things 'round here, real down-to-earth like.
Power Plays and Such
Sometimes in these games, they have what they call a "power play". That's when one team gets a penalty, and the other team has more players on the ice for a little while. It's a good chance to score a goal, ya see. I heard tell one team won a game the other day 'cause they scored on a power play in the second period. Good for them, I say.
The Boys and Their Rankings
And these boys, they get all ranked and such. People are always arguin' about who's the best team, who's got the best players. They got these sportswriters and such, they make lists and rankings. But rankings ain't everything, I tell ya. It's all about who plays the best on the ice that day.
It's All About the Community
But the real important thing ain't the scores or the rankings, it's about the community. These hockey games, they bring people together. Folks come out to watch their kids and grandkids play, they cheer 'em on, they have a good time. It's what makes small-town livin' so special.
Keepin' it Simple
So, there you have it. Vermont high school hockey scores, plain and simple. No need for all that fancy talk and numbers. It's about boys skatin', smackin' a puck, and tryin' to score more goals than the other team. And it's about folks comin' together to cheer 'em on. That's all there is to it, really.
If you want to know more, just ask around. Somebody's bound to know the latest scores, and they'll be happy to tell ya. And if they don’t, just wait a bit. Them scores are a changin’ faster than the weather.
