Stoneham Hockey Ready For No. 3 Seed Danvers
After beating Tewksbury, Spartans ready for a bigger challenge.
A season spent competing against the best of the Middlesex League may just be a recipe for post-season success for the Stoneham High School boys' hockey team.
No. 11 seed Stoneham beat No. 6 seed Tewksbury, 5-2, Tuesday night in the first round of the Division 2 North tournament. Jake Burridge was the hero, scoring two goals including the game-winner in the third period. The Spartans scored four goals in the final period.
Next up for the Spartans (11-8-2) is a Friday matchup with No. 3 seed Danvers (15-3-2) in the quarterfinals. The game will be held Friday at O'Brien Rink in Woburn.
