98Vipers: Shoot For A Cure / U15 SPLIT - TIER 1

Friday, May 22, 2009, 4:00AM

The 98Vipers will be participating in the North Shore Medical Center Cancer Walk on Sunday June 21, 2009. Proceeds from this years walk will directly benefit the expansion and relocation of the NSMC Cancer Center to the Mass General/North Shore Center for Outpatient Care in Danvers.

The 98Vipers is made up of young hockey players ages 10/ 11 who reside throughout the North Shore and Greater Boston area. To give our players a better understanding of the adversities in life that people are faced with and to keep in perspective that the game of hockey is just that..a game, we have decided to walk as a team in this year's event. We also have many families on our team who have been directly affected by this ferocious disease and we walk in support of them as well, just as we support our teammates on the ice.

NEHL: Age Appropriate Hockey

Monday, March 16, 2009, 4:00AM

As tryouts have now begun, we have had a lot of questions from parents regarding the recent change by NEHL to ensure age appropriate competition. 

"Will my child be playing against kids of the same birth year?"

 In the past, some NEHL teams were allowed to play in a division with teams that were a year older.  However, for the 2009-10 season, the NEHL has now realigned the divisions so that all teams are age appropriate.  There will no longer be younger teams playing up.  This will ensure that all divisions will be age appropriate competition this coming season.

98's Take Out Riverhawks, 8-4 / U15 SPLIT - TIER 1

Sunday, February 22, 2009, 5:00AM

The 98's spotted the Riverhawks a 3-0 first period lead before settling down and ripping off 7 unanswered goals to coast to the victory. The Green Line of Kyle Lynch (3-2-5) Dante Maribito (2-3-5) and Kyle Hentosh (1-5-6) would account for 6 of the Vipers 8 goals. This would be a very chippy affair that saw the Vipers display incredible discipline to keep their cool throughout. Heath King and JT Chamberlain(1-1-2) would add singles for the Vipers. Chris Goggin, Rob Murphy and Patrick McCarthy all stepped up and played a fine game, the latter dishing out a nice check in the third period while holding the blue line. Aaron McDonnell and Andrew Krajeski shared the duties in this one and both did a fine job.
