Watertown Varsity Boys Hockey Team Put on Ice, High School Will Only Have JV

By |

Last December, Watertown High School’s boys hockey team’s home opener was a time of celebration, as the Raiders raised a banner for the team’s first ever State Championship. This year, however, there will not even be a home opener.

The team has withdrawn from the Middlesex League and will only play a junior varsity schedule, said WHS Athletic Director Michael Lahiff.
