The following was written on the fly at the arena:

Piatelli/Simmons Tournament (Small School), 12:00 pm
(#2) Winchendon 5 (#1) Holderness 2  -- FINAL
The Wapitis' all-senior top line of Cornell commit Charlie Puglisi centering Cooper Ludwar and Vermont commit Jackson Smail proved too much for the Holderness D to contain, striking for three first period goals and setting the tone early. Smail led the way, notching a hat trick, Puglisi chipped in with three assists, and Ludwar had a goal and an assist. Sophomore forward Drew Short scored Winchendon's fourth goal, knocking home a rebound of a Laz Giardina shot. In net, Winchendon senior netminder Brady Knode outdueled Holderness senior Mark Bierwirth. Holderness finishes up 20-7-3. Winchendon fashioned a 22-7-5 record, with, of course, the 2026 Small School Championship.


Martin/Earl Tournament (Large School), 2:30 pm
(#2) Cushing 7 (#4) Brunswick 0 -- FINAL
Cushing led, 1-0, after one, on a PPG -- a point shot from d-man AJ Haas that had eyes, beating Brunswick junior G Zai Ferraro top right corner at 9:45. Defenseman Colin Yandle and F Jeff Swartz assisted. In the second, Cushing extended its lead to 3-0 on a pair of goals several minutes apart from junior wing Sebastian Mogull, the first a PPG that beat Ferraro top corner. The second was a bang-bang play, with Mogull banging home a perfect goalmouth pass from Axel Favreau. Junior d-man Oliver Svoboda assisted on both goals. In the third, Cushing turned its lead into a rout, scoring four unanswered goals to win 7-0. Alex Favreau got it started 58 seconds in, on a 4x3 PPG, scoring on a backhander in tight, with an assist to junior D Gleb Kokorin. At 8:58, Mogull completed his hat trick on a flukey goal. Attempting to make a short pass down low, the puck kept sliding...right into the corner of the net. Favreau and Cash assisted. A deflating goal. Cushing added two more, with senior C Cam McDonough scoring an unassisted shorty with a Brunswick d-man draped on his back. Cushing made it 7-0 as Swartz dangled through the Brunswick D for an easy goal. Zai Ferraro had a rough day in net for Brunswick; Cushing freshman Mason Reycroft was outstanding, especially in the first period, when it was a 0-0 game, stoning the Bruins' Keegan Kazan on a breakaway and James Jackson on a point-blank shot.


Stuart/Corkery Tournament (Elite 8), 5:00 pm
(#8) Avon Old Farms 4 (#2) St. Mark's 2  -- FINAL
Avon Old Farms senior netminder Anthony Palmer was injured while stretching out to make a save on Evan Nee just 1:13 into the game, and taken out of the game. He was replaced by junior Will Bagot. Avon went up, 1-0, on a goal from senior Aiden Strzelecki on a shot from the right FO circle at 8:58, with an assist going to Brooks Armstrong. Avon went up 2-0 as Liam Donnelly let one rip from the high slot with 1:44 remaining in the period. In the second period, Avon extended its lead to 3-0 when Grover Henderson found Tucker Harris at the right FO circle for a one-timer at the 4:25 mark. St. Mark's got on the board at 9:03, Manchuso scoring, with an assist going to Cam MacPherson to cut Avon's lead to 3-1. However, 42 seconds later Avon would get it right back off a faceoff play with Jacob Jett and Tucker Harris combining to make it 4-1. Random chippiness around the crease and in the corners was a constant throughout, and the the officials were part of the problem. St. Mark's scored the only goal of the third, on a 6x4 advantage, as the goalie had been pulled for the extra attacker and a boarding penalty called on Avon shortly after. The Lions' Connor MacPherson banged home the goal with 46 seconds left, but too little too late.

ELITE 8

(#8) Avon Old Farms 5  @  (#5) Hotchkiss 0 -- Avon junior F Nico Ciardiello (4g,1a) had himself a day -- scoring most of the goals, and figuring in all of them. And senior goaltender Anthony Palmer came up big, kicking out all 32 shots he faced. After a scoreless first period, Avon exploded early in the second with three goals in a little over four minutes -- two from Ciardiello and one on a point shot from junior d-man Tyler Waterman. At that point, Hotchkiss took a time out, which settled things down short term. However, late in the period, Ciardiello, a Guilford, Conn. native, would strike again, completing his hat trick with an unassisted tally. In the third period, Ciardiello scored his fourth goal, a shorty. In the Hotchkiss net, junior Neilan Johnson (33/38) allowed a season-high five goals. It wasn't the Bearcats' day. Great season, though (16-6-4). And a huge turnaround, as Hotchkiss finished 6-17-2 in '24-25.

@ (#2) St. Mark's 7  (#6) Kimball Union 3 -- In an entertaining, offense-filled tilt, the big guns from St. Mark's were in full flower. Juniors Will Manchuso (2g,2a), Cam MacPherson (1g,2a), Will Cooney (2a), and Caiden Pellegrino (2a); and senior Evan Nee (3a) all shined brightly. The Lions set the tone early in the first period, scoring on two of their first three shots. Both teams scored a shorthanded goal in the period. But KUA battled back in the third, with two powerplay goals -- from Jackson Kimelman and d-man Lucas Hannay -- to make it 4-3 with three minutes to go. St. Mark's, however, scored on a two-on-one with 2:12 remaining -- MacPherson from Manchuso and Cooney -- to go up 5-3. The Lions would add a pair of empty-netters to account for the lopsided-looking final score. In net, St. Mark's sophomore G Aaron Alves-Thomas (32/35) earned the win. KUA's Cam Ingram (20/25) suffered the loss. KUA finishes its season 24-7-2. The Lions (25-3-0) advance to Sunday's Elite 8 Championship Game vs. Avon (5:00 pm at UConn).


LARGE SCHOOLS

(#4) Brunswick 5 @  (#1) Tabor 4 (OT) -- Things weren't looking good for the visitors from Brunswick, who found themselves trailing, 4-1, early in the third period. But the Bruins' fortunes would change quickly, as junior F Keegan Kazan scored a natural hat trick in a span of 5:05 -- a 5x3, 5x4, and an even-strength goal, with all three being assisted by senior Mason St. Louis. Once in OT, it took all of 1:53 for sophomore Hunter Hanford to find the back of the net, converting an Owen Gibbons pass, stunning Tabor, and sending 'Wick to the Large School Championship game Sunday vs. Cushing. In net, Brunswick junior Evan Akerman (31/35) picked up the win; Tabor junior Vinnie D'Urso (37/42) suffered the loss, giving up a season-high five goals. Tabor scorers were led by junior Ares Miller (2g), and seniors Heyden Hildebrandt (1g,1a) and Colvin Callahan (2a). 

@ (#2) Cushing 5  (#3) Andover  1 -- Cushing, behind a balanced attack and the goaltending of freshman Mason Raycroft (23/24), dominated. Five different scorers lit the lamp, with junior Sebastian Mogull (2g,1a) leading the way. Seniors Benjamin Marcolini (1g,1a), Blake Cash (1g,1a), and Parker Murch (1g,1a), and junior Chase Warsofsky (2a) all notched a couple points. Andover senior G Edouard Lord (31/37) took the loss; it was his last prep game. Andover, which won the Large School Championship last season, falls short this trip around the sun. Cushing (18-11-2) will face Brunswick in the Large School Championship Game tomorrow (2:30 pm at UConn).

SMALL SCHOOLS      

@ (#1) Holderness 1  (#5) Berkshire 0 -- A second period powerplay goal from senior Viktor Samal, assisted by junior Michael Delaney and PG Sawyer Graubins, was all the offense Holderness senior G Mark Bierwirth (31/31) needed. It was Bierwirth's third shutout of the season. Berkshire junior goaltender Alex Kim (27/28) suffered the loss. Berkshire finishes its season 19-10-2. Holderness will face Winchendon for the Small School title Sunday at noon. 

@ (#2) Winchendon 2  (#3) Canterbury 1 (OT) -- An OT goal off the stick of UVM-bound senior Jackson Smail propelled the Wapitis to the Small School Championship Game Sunday at UConn. Getting there wasn't easy, though, as the visitors from Canterbury, on a PPG from senior d-man Connor Emens, jumped out to a first period lead -- and it held until the final minute of the game when, with the extra attacker on, Cornell-bound senior Charlie Puglisi scored the goal that sent the game to OT. Both goalies were terrific, with Winchendon's Brady Knode (46/47) slightly edging the Saints' Cody Hew (50/52). C'bury finishes its season 18-10-2.

ELITE 8

(#5) Hotchkiss 3 @ (#4) St. Sebastian's 0 -- The Arrows had been shut only once this season, but Hotchkiss goaltender Neilan Johnson made that twice, kicking out all 25 shots he faced. It was the fifth shutout of the season for the junior from Severna Park, Maryland. Seniors Aidan Patton (1g,1a) and Jake Doherty (1g) scored the goals. Junior Justin L'Abbe (2a) assisted on both. Junior Austin Groves added an empty-netter. St. Sebastian's junior G Tommy Saulnier turned away 28 of the 30 shots he faced. The Arrows finish 19-8-0. Hotchkiss will host Avon in a Saturday Elite 8 semifinal.

(#8) Avon Old Farms 4 @ (#1) Dexter 2 -- Was it all a ruse? Was Avon playing possum during that six-game losing streak? Perhaps a kind of Rope-A-Dope? Only the players know for sure, but we can tell you that Avon Old Farms sophomore Ethan Gingeleskie (2g,1a) and senior goaltender Anthony Palmer (31/33) led the way as the Winged Beavers upset #1-seed Dexter and punched their ticket to an Elite 8 semifinal matchup Saturday at Hotchkiss. As for Dexter, senior d-man Myles Brosnan (1g) and forward Nick Dolympio (1g) scored the goals. Junior G Drew Karlovits (23/27) suffered the loss. Dexter finishes the season 19-2-5. It's both hard to believe -- and not at all hard to believe -- that both Salisbury and Dexter are out in the quarterfinals. Done.

@ (#2) St. Mark's 7 (#7) Belmont Hill 2 -- Sophomore goaltender Aaron Alves-Thomas kicked out 26 of 28 shots and got to watch as his St. Mark's teammates pumped home seven goals before Belmont Hill rallied themselves for two late goals. St. Mark's top guns included the usual suspects: senior Evan Nee (2g,1a), juniors Will Cooney (1g,1a), Caiden Pellegrino (1g,1a), and Cam MacPherson (2a); and sophomore Keith Olympia (2a). For Belmont Hill, junior Liam Boyle (2g) scored both goals. Belmont Hill finishes 18-8-4. St. Mark's will host KUA in a Saturday Elite 8 semifinal.

(#6) Kimball Union 1 @ (#3) Salisbury 0 (at Westminster) -- A goal midway through the third period off the stick of KUA sophomore Dawson Wood, assisted by senior Xander Boutilier, was the only tally of the game. But it, along with the shutout goaltending of senior Cam Ingram (28 saves) was all the Wildcats needed to 'upset' -- does that word even apply this season? -- #3 seed Salisbury and move on to a Saturday Elite 8 semifinal matchup at St. Mark's. KUA head coach Tim Whitehead described it as a good, hard, clean, tight-checking defensive game with solid goaltending at both ends. "It could have gone either way, like all Salisbury-KUA games. They all seem to be one-goal games," he said. Salisbury senior G Jordan Rittenberg (34/35) suffered the hard-luck loss. Salisbury finishes its season 23-5-2. Can't ask for much more from your players than that. 


LARGE SCHOOL

(#4) Brunswick 2, (#5) Thayer 1 (at Avon Old Farms) -- 'Wick got first period goals from junior James Jackson (1g,1a) and senior D Jack McCullough (1g,1a) -- and that was all they needed, for this one was about defense and goaltending. After Thayer junior -- and Northeastern commit -- Tommy Wilkinson (1g) scored 35 seconds into the second period, neither team would find the back of the net again. Brunswick junior G Zai Ferraro (29/30) and Thayer senior Tyler Moschella (33/35) were excellent. Thayer finishes its season 13-12-4. Brunswick will be at Tabor for a Large School semifinal on Saturday. 

@ (#2) Cushing 2, (#7) Deerfield 1 (OT) -- Cushing junior F Sebastian Mogull (2g) scored the second of his two goals at 7:28 of overtime, propelling the Penguins into a Large School semifinal matchup with Andover on Saturday. Goaltending was the name of the game here. Cushing freshman Mason Raycroft (25/26) earned the win. Deerfield senior G -- and Brown commit -- Elliot Lennon (45/47) did all he could, and then a little more, but suffered the loss.
 
@ (#1) Tabor 2, (#8) Choate 1-- Tabor sophomore Nolan Sweeney (1g) broke a 1-1 deadlock with 4:01 left in the third period, sending the Seawolves to a Large School semifinal matchup with Brunswick on Saturday. Senior Owen Carter (1g,1a) and junior Ethan Travis (1a) assisted on the game-winner. As he has all season, junior G Vinnie D'Urso came up big, kicking out 40 of 41 shots and getting the primary assist on the first Tabor goal. A little offensive flair there. Choate senior G Jacob Saldanha (34/36) suffered the hard-luck loss. This season, Choate (11-12-3) took another big step forward under second-year coach Mike Pereira, reaching the playoffs. Pereira inherited a team that had won but three games in the '23-24 season.

@ (#3) Andover 5, (#6) St. Paul's 1 -- Host Andover busted open a 1-1 deadlock with four unanswered third period goals -- the last an empty-netter -- to dispatch St. Paul's and look ahead to a Saturday Large School semifinal matchup at Cushing. The sophs led the way, with Michael Barrett (2g,1a), Jack O'Dell (1g,2a), and Nolan Roberts (2a) notching multiple points for the Big Blue. SPS finishes its season 18-12-1, a big step up from last season 12-18-1. And there's your lottery ticket: any combination of those numerals. 


SMALL SCHOOL    

(#5) Berkshire 5 @ (#4) Rivers 0 -- Berkshire junior G Alex Kim posted a 24-save shutout and watched five different teammates score goals as the Bears advance to face top-seeded Holderness in a Large School semifinal Saturday. Berkshire seniors Matt Lacombe (1g,1a), Jonah Rainisch (2a), and Gus Chong (2a) each notched two points. Rivers senior G Derrick Huang (23/28) suffered the loss. Rivers finishes its season 13-9-0.

@ (#2) Winchendon 7, (#7) New Hampton 1 -- The senior Wapitis led the charge in this one, with Charlie Puglisi (3g,1a), Jackson Smail (3a), Steven Khonroo (2g) and a host of others keeping the scorekeeper busy. Winchendon senior G Brady Knode (21/22) picked up the win.Winchendon will host Canterbury in a Large School semifinal on Saturday. 

@ (#1) Holderness 9, (#8) Pomfret 6 -- Bombs away. Holderness junior AJ Jones (1g,3a), senior Henry Prowse (3a), and PGs James Albers (2g) and Sawyer Graubins (2g) led the points parade. Pomfret got goals from six different skaters. The goaltenders were not sharp in this one. Holderness will host Berkshire in a Large School semifinal Saturday. 

(#3) Canterbury 4, (#6) St. George's 1 (at Loomis) -- St. George's senior Ryan Magaletta scored 45 seconds into the game, but the Saints were about as patient as you would expect a Saint to be, and considered the situation before busting out with four unanswered goals -- two in the second, and two, including an empty-netter, in the third. Goal scorers were senior Gino LaRusso (1g,1a), PG Jack McEleney (1g,1a), PG Jake Lee and senior Gaines Clonts. In net, Canterbury senior Cody Hew (30/31) earned the win. St. George's junior Alex Wang suffered the loss. St. George's season ends 13-11-4. Canterbury (19-9-2) will look for their 20th win Saturday in a Small School semifinal at Winchendon.

Prep Highlights
Saturday February 28, 2026

Choate 3 @ Kent 1 -- Choate junior Cameron Conklin notched all the goals -- a hat trick, of which the third goal was an empty-netter. Senior Greg Najda (2a) provided helpers on a couple. Choate senior G Jacob Saldanha (37/38) had a big night in net. Kent junior Donovan Dunlay (23/25) took the loss. Kent finishes at 10-13-2. Choate finishes at 11-11-3, and is rebuilding quickly under second-year head coach Mike Pereira. They're the #8 seed in the Large School tournament.

Holderness 3 @ Kimball Union 3 -- A championship game without crowning a champion? It has to be a Lakes Region first. At any rate, a late second-period SHG off the stick of KUA junior Charlie MacLeod (1g,1a) tied the game -- and that was it. Kimball Union senior G Cam Ingram (32/35) and Holderness counterpart Mark Bierwirth (29/32) kept things close throughout. KUA (24-6-2), with the tie, drops to the #6 seed in the Elite 8. Holderness is 18-6-3 and the #1 seed in the Small School. 

@ Avon Old Farms 2, Loomis Chaffee 2 (OT) -- A PPG from junior Nico Ciardiello at 15:30 of the third period tied things at 2-2 -- and that's where they stayed. Overtime solved nothing. Earlier, in the first period, Avon senior Brooks Armstrong put his team up, 1-0. But Loomis came back on goals from junior Nikita Agafanov (1g,1a) and senior Will Watson (1g); sophomore Nick Ferrie (2a) assisted on both. Avon grabs the #8 seed in the Elite 8. Loomis falls just short of the playoffs.

@ Hotchkiss 3, Taft 0 -- Host Hotchkiss scored three first-period goals, two from junior Jake Harrison (2g,1a) and one from junior Austin Groves (1g,2a). Junior Ryan Murray (2a) assisted on two of them. Hotchkiss junior G Neilan Johnson (30/30) posted his fourth shutout of the season. Taft sophomore Charlie Rodrigue (34/37) suffered the loss. Hotchkiss is 16-5-4 and moves up from the #6 seed to the #5 seed in the Elite 8 due to the KUA - Holderness tie. Taft (10-13-1) falls short of the post-season festival.

@ Salisbury 2, Deerfield 1 -- A third-period tally from Salisbury senior Riley Slovis was the difference in this Housatonic League tilt. Salisbury junior Greyson Espenshade, a Yale commit, scored Salisbury's other goal, in the first period. In net, Salisbury senior Jordan Rittenberg (19/20) earned the win. Deerfield senior, and Brown commit, Elliot Lennon (39/41) gave his team more than a fighting chance, but was the hard-luck loser in this one. Salisbury (23-4-2) will advance to the Elite 8 as the #3 seed and have home ice. Deerfield (11-11-3) has some impressive wins this year and pushes forward as the #7 seed in the Large School. 

@ St. Mark's 3, Groton 1 -- St. Mark's got goals from juniors Will Manchuso and Caiden Pellegrino, and senior Grady Bishop. Sophomore G Aaron Alves-Thomas (22/23) earned the win. Mark's is 24-3-0 and can look forward to home ice in the Elite 8 quarterfinals. Groton  (14-12-1) just missed the playoffs.

@ Tabor 5, Lawrence Academy 4 (OT) -- Tabor junior Ethan Travis (1g,2a), a Sacred Heart commit, came up big, scoring in OT to propel the Seawolves. Fellow junior Liam Kailher (2g,1a) also came up big. Tabor junior G Vinnie D'Urso (33/37) picked up the win. Lawrence senior Aiden Emerick (27/32) suffered the loss. Tabor held a 3-1 lead after one period, but allowed LA to score three unanswered goals in the second period, forcing Tabor to come back with a third-period goal -- from Kailher -- just to get the game to OT. Tabor is 19-7-0 and will be the #1 seed in the Large school. Lawrence finishes its season 8-16-3.

@ Pomfret 3, Williston Northampton 1 -- Three different scorers found the back of the net and Pomfret senior goaltender Joey Mitchell (2.89/.915) kicked out 28 of the 29 shots he faced for the win. Mitchell has played three solid years at Pomfret and will be able to play one more game on Wednesday as the Griffins (14-10-3) have snuck in as the #8 seed in the Small School tournament. 

@ Canterbury 16, Wilbraham & Monson 1 -- A lot of goals. Canterbury (18-9-2) will look to take on a more challenging opponent as the #8 seed in the Small School tournament quarterfinals. W&M (0-14-0) finishes the season winless. 

St. Paul's 3 @ New Hampton 0 -- St. Paul's got goals from senior Andersen Kilbourne (1g,1a), and juniors Ryan Vohra (1g) and Mitchell Smith (1g)  -- and a 33-save shutout from senior Blake Truchon. SPS (18-11-1) will advance to the Large School tussle as the #5 seed. New Hampton is 18-13-1 and the #7 seed in the Small School tourney.

Berkshire 3 @ Frederick Gunn School 2 (OT) -- An unassisted goal off the stick of Berkshire junior Preston Kelly-Paquet at 4:33 of OT lifted the Bears to the road win. Berkshire junior G Alex Kim (39/41) had a big day in net. Frederick Gunn junior G Alex Schnarr (28/31) suffered the loss. Berkshire (19-9-2) will advance to the Large School tournament as the #5 seed. Gunn finishes 12-15-3.

Millbrook 9 @ Trinity-Pawling 6 -- Millbrook junior Casey Berninger (3g,2a) and senior Brandon Remppel (1g,3a) led the Mustangs' attack. For T-P, seniors David Fridman (2g,2a) and postgrad Peter Wienckowski (3g) made an impact on the scoresheet. Millbrook is 16-13-2 but will miss the playoffs. Trinity-Pawling finishes 6-15-3.

@ Andover 3, Exeter 3 (OT) -- Andover overcame a two-goal third-period deficit to steal away with a tie, courtesy of a goal off the stick of senior Alex Small (1g). Junior Kieran McIntosh (1g) and sophomore Nolan Roberts (1g) also scored for Andover. Exeter got goals from senior Jack Marquardt (1g), junior Noah Poinsett-Yoshida (1g,1a), and sophomore Escher Briere (1g). Andover is 15-10-4 and will graduate to the Large School tournament as the #3 seed. Exeter (11-15-3) will look forward to next season 

@ Rivers 4, Thayer 0 -- In a game with Elite 8 implications, Rivers senior G Derrick Huang posted a 32-save shutout and freshman Carter Felt (1g,1a), seniors Jonathan Rivard (1g,1a) and Stephen Rousell (2a), and junior Will Pratt (2a) led the attack. Thayer senior G Quinn Devin (14/17) took the loss. Rivers (13-8-3) has home ice and the #4 seed in the Small School soiree. Thayer finishes the regular season 13-11-4 and will advance to the Large School shindig. The win launched Rivers into the top 16 (and evicted Thayer from it), which had a ripple effect on the Elite 8, leaving at least one team wondering what could have been. 

@ Northfield Mt. Hermon 5, Hoosac 3 -- Senior Joey Dellacroce (1g,3a) and junior Isaac Hutchinson (1g,2a) led the Hoggers' attack. Hoosac senior Luca Iannuzzi (1g,2a) figured in all of his team's goals. In net, NMH senior Kellen Ceraldi (33/36) bested Owls' senior Dominic DeLuca (18/22). NMH finishes 4-29-0. Hoosac finishes 4-15-1. 

@ St. George's 6, Middlesex 2 -- Dragons' senior Max Donatelli (5a) led the Dragons' attack, notching five assists to give the RI native a 50-point season, his career high. St. George's senior Aiden Ferreira (2g,1a), and sophomores Cameron Daigle (2g,1a) and Jake Donatelli (3a) also had big days. Three different Middlesex players were assessed misconducts (one was a game); none from St. George's. The Dragons finish the regular season at 13-10-4 and will advance to the Small School tournament as the #6 seed. 

@ Dexter 3, Brunswick 0 -- Dexter got goals from three different scorers -- juniors JP Messuri and Noah Survilas, and sophomore Tom Moore -- and a 12-save shutout from senior Kyle Ready to finish the regular season as the #1 seed for the Elite 8. A 19-1-5 record. Not too shabby. Brunswick junior G Evan Akerman (28/31) took the loss. Brunswick finishes the regular season 17-9-0 and will advance to the Large School Tournament, earning home ice and the #4 seed.
