Merrimack Tomahawk Hockey Opens Season 2-0

Merrimack High School Hockey opened the regular season this past week. The team traveled to Lebanon last Wednesday night and defeated the Raiders in overtime 3-2. Junior Defenseman Kyle Feeney went top shelf in the extra frame to earn the win. Sophomore forward John Tianno had the Tomahawks 2 other tallies for the contest.

The Tomahawks traveled to Salem on Monday night to take on Timberlane. The first period was very even with Merrimack surviving a 5 on 3 shorthanded situation for almost 2 full minutes. The Owls pressed the Tomahawks with good offensive pressure during their 2 man advantage but could not solve Senior goalie Matt Brewster. The score board remained dormant until the second period when the Tomahawks found their legs. The team put 6 past the Timberlane goalie in the second, and 4 more in the third. The Owls did manage to break the shutout Brewster had going on a long range bouncer in the third period. The Final score was 10 - 1 Merrimack with several players getting on the score sheet including Senior forward Shane Foy with 2, Freshman forward Stephen Licata netting 2, and a great shorthanded goal by Sophmore forward Owen O’Brien.
