FHS girls and boys hockey record ties in game on Saturday

Via HockomockSports and Twitter we share the results of the FHS sports action on Saturday, Dec 30, 2017


Girls Hockey = Franklin, 0 @ Mansfield/Oliver Ames, 0 – Final

Boys Hockey = Franklin, 2 vs. Fairfield College Prep, 3 (2 OT) – Final
Josh Perry, Managing Editor of HockomockSports, provides the game recap:
"For the second time in three seasons, Franklin reached the championship game of the Mount St. Charles Holiday Face-Off at the venerable Adelard Arena and for the second time the Panthers were unable to come up with a third win in three days to claim the first place trophy.

Joe Mancini of Fairfield Prep (Conn.) scored his second goal of the game with 3:37 remaining in the second overtime to give the Jesuits the 3-2 victory in a game that featured non-stop, end-to-end action right from the opening face-off.
 
“I’m happy with the effort for sure,” said Franklin coach Chris Spillane, whose team does take home a point, as the game will be officially recorded as a 2-2 tie for MIAA purposes. “Three games in three days and all three were sort of like this; nothing was easy here. 
“So, at the end of the day we were happy with what we got. Sure, it’s a nice moral boost to get the victory, but we sort of ran out of gas. You could see that three days of hockey took its toll.”
