Weston played their first game against Newton South. Weston came out with a bang and a two point early lead. Joe put the first two in the back of the net and the goalie did not know they were there until the whistle blew. Both his goalshis goals were from the same spot on the ice and from the same position he scores from in Lacrosse. Weston got comfortable and Newton South closed the gap to one and then none. Weston stepped back up and took the lead with a third goal from Chase, great pass from Joe. With significant time on the clock Newton South looked to tie and ultimately did. Weston dug deep and had a number of opportunities to take the lead but could not find the net.
Well the hockey team is off and running. We played two tough scrimages, one with Waltham and another with Boston Latin. As expected Waltham rang up the points. Weston looked really good in the third of the Boston Latin game, as they slowed the game down and started making passes. Boston Latin put a few on the board and Weston closed the gap with Chase and Joe both put one in the back of the net, but at the buzzer the bad guys out numbered Weston.
Chase and I had a great time at Colgate. The ride out was fantastic, really nice day. The ride back is another story, clearly winter is here. The Lacrosse was great and Chase played in 6 games. The campus is so amazing. Below are some pictures of a wonderful old barn just off the campus as well as some shots from the games.
