The following announcement was provided by Watertown Youth Hockey:
On Saturday April 3, the Watertown Raiders 10U hockey team won the Valley League AA Squirt East Championship. They played the Central Mass Revolution, a team they had split their season series with 2-2. Watertown was dominant in the final, winning 6-0.
The team was motivated to win for Henry Maikath who was unavailable to play due to an injury. Henry was a game changing offensive defenseman who had many highlight reel goals during the season.
Watertown’s offense was led by goal scorers Wes Nabel (2 goals), Griff Ganno (2 goals), Conor Reynolds (1 goal) and Wyatt Preston (1 goal). Helping to keep offensive zone pressure on the Revs were Mary Dwyer, JJ Valiton and Ethan Tark. Great 2 way play from Colt Ouellette, Sam Heiber, Dean Sibelle and Gus Charbonnier prevented the Revs from mounting any sustained puck possession.
The defense was anchored by strong shutdown play from Michael Cohan, Zach Rivera and Adeline Lucas. Amazing defensive zone presence by Christian Robinson, Garrett Mathers and Lily Witkop minimized the Rev’s scoring chances. Dante Marchesano was a rock between the pipes. His stellar performance was highlighted by spectacular saves made late in the third period to preserve the shutout.
This concludes a fantastic season for Watertown which won the Fire & Ice Tournament in January and Brookline’s Outdoor Winter Classic Game in February. The season, which started in early September, saw players develop as a team and individuals during the season. Coaches Todd Charbonnier, Mike Preston, John Lucas and Joe Ganno were happy to see the players have fun and succeed this season.
