Brown's Blast Bests GHS

In its final home game of the season, the Brunswick JV hockey squad gave a gritty performance, showing resilience and overcoming a two-goal deficit in the final minutes to win in regulation. 

The defense began the scoring for Brunswick, as both Tommy Napolitano '17 and Billy Sperry '16 exploited the glove side of the GHS netminder to give their team a 2-0 lead. 

GHS found openings around Brunswick's crease as well, netting one to make it 2-1 'Wick after the first.


The Cardinals continued the scoring at the halfway point of the second, and soon after a pre-planned goalie exchange, Brunswick allowed another quick goal, making it 3-2 for the visitors.

Nick Boardman '18 and Brendan Gregoire '18 responded with two quick tallies to put the Bruins in front again, but they were unable to contain the GHS offense and allowed another three goals -- 6-4 Cardinals.


After killing off several penaties to stay in the game, the drama unfolded in the final minutes of the third period. 

With 2:34 left, Matthew Camel '18 found a rebound and buried a fifth goal for Brunswick. Then, after pulling goalie Quentin McDermott '17 to add an extra skater, Timmy Carter '18 found a seam to tie the game with 27.8 seconds left in regulation.

Brunswick was able to keep the pressure in the GHS zone with the help of Sperry's heroic efforts at the blue line. 


And, on Senior Day, it was fitting that Tucker Brown's '15 slapper with 4.4 seconds to go found the net. Video replay suggests the puck was redirected off Gregoire's skate, but in a show of respect to the veteran leader, Gregoire gives full credit to Brown. 

The coaches are extremely proud of the boys and hope to carry the scoring momentum into the final showdown at The Gunnery this Saturday.
