FHS Hockey: 'taking stock of the Hock"

Hockomock Sports has a mid-season review of the boys hockey teams. Josh Perry, writes a good summary on Franklin High School and in particular Ryan Spillane.

Josh Perry - Franklin is starting to get some statewide recognition after its tie with Super 8 favorite Springfield Cathedral, its play in the Mount St. Charles tournament, and the way that the Panthers have rolled through their Hock schedule.

The key player on the top line for the Panthers has been Ryan Spillane. The senior was one of the league’s top returning scorers and has picked up where he left off last winter pairing with linemates Joe Bourque and Alec Borkowski on one of the league’s most prolific lines.

Spillane, the son of Franklin coach Chris Spillane, has scored 15 goals and recorded 10 assists this season, while also providing the two-way play and willingness to battle in the corners that is a key to Franklin’s system.

Spillane has also been effective on both the power play and penalty kill and as the best player on the best team is a front runner as Player of the Year.

National Grid: Winter Storm Update

Thanks: Together We Made it Through the Storm

A message to our Massachusetts customers

We are dedicated to providing you with safe and reliable electricity and gas service. That goes for both blue-sky days and during emergency and storm events.

We rely on weather forecasts in our preparations, and keep the safety of our customers and employees our highest priority.

The early forecast for Juno, the blizzard of 2015, was a storm of potential historic proportions. Based on the high winds predicted, and our own storm modeling system, we prepared for widespread electric outages.

And you responded as well. Many of you subscribed to receive our emails and text messages, downloaded our outage app, and followed us on Twitter and Facebook.

The great news is the storm has passed through our territory with very little serious impact to the electric system.

This speaks volumes to the millions of dollars in investments we've made in our infrastructure in recent years, and to the resiliency of our electric system to withstand wind gusts that reached over 60 mph. It also speaks loudly of the actions we all take together — National Grid and our customers — to get through storm events such as these, whatever the outcome.

We'll no doubt experience extreme weather in the future given that it's becoming the new normal. The actions we all take today to prepare for these events will always be critical tomorrow — for the long-term safety and well being of our families, neighbors, businesses, and communities.

We provide several ways for you to stay connected during a storm:

•		Customers can report outages, view outage maps and more on our Safety and Outage Reporting app. You can download it by searching for National Grid in the iTunes and GooglePlay stores
•		Join the over 115,000 customers who have already enrolled in broadcast text alerts for major storms. To register, text the word "STORM" to NGRID (64743)
•		Use your mobile device to track outage information and storm-related safety tips through National Grid's new mobile site accessible at www.nationalgrid.com
•		Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter and Instagram where we post all the latest storm and restoration updates.
