Mass Selects Youth League Expands to 15 Programs Beginning 12/13 Season

Looking to take regional youth hockey development to the next level, the Massachusetts Selects Youth Hockey League (MSYHL), in an unprecedented move, has added six programs from the International Junior Youth Hockey League (IJYHL) to form a 15-member league that will begin play during the 2012-13 season. The expanded (MSYHL) brings together established Tier 1 programs stretching from Rhode Island to Southern New Hampshire and out to Central Massachusetts.

The goal is put the top programs and top youth players from the region in a single league which will emphasize skills and character development. The combination of so many teams with an abundance of heritage and talent have come together to form what can only be called the new leading AAA youth hockey league in New England.

The MSYHL will now be home to the following programs: 495 Stars, Boston Jr. Blackhawks, Boston Stars, Central MA Outlaws, Conquistadors, Dover Stars, New England Bulldogs, New England Predators, New England Stars, New Hampshire Flames, North Suburban Wings, Raiders Hockey , North Shore Shamrocks, Rhode Island Hitmen, and Rhode Island Stars.

A big congratulations to our 98AAA Team.  They played in the Exeter Turkey Tournament this past weekend and  went undefeated.  The team had a great weekend of hockey and outscored their opponents 25 to 5.

The entire team worked hard all weekend backed by their two strong goalies, Stevie and Whitey. The defensive core kept the shots to a minimum and the forwards relentlessly hunted the puck. The coaches are very proud of how the team represented themselves and the Predators organization.

Way to go Predators!

NEW ENGLAND PREDATORS 99 AA TEAM CROWNED AA PEEWEEE CHAMPS
The 99 New England Predator Selects went into last weekend well rested and ready to go against a tough Baystate Breakers team.  Contributions came from every line, forward and defense.   Matty Andrea, goaltender played great and was given M.V.P. of the weekend.  Matty held off a couple of five on threes with help from his Penalty kill line of Mitch, Anthony, Will and Nate. The team skated and moved the puck well to secure a 4 to 1 finish with goals from Mike Andrea, Robert Ferreira, Mike Samse and Savane Kisich and a chance to take another shot at the New England Stars in the finals who only registered one loss since January 1^st (by the 99 predators). 

Sunday morning came quick and so did the Predators scoring 2 goals to go up 2 to 0 by end of the first period.  “We have the momentum going our way and we have to stay on them and don’t let up”, said Coach Harry.   The Predators came out hard again in the second period with quality puck control and hard skating going up 4 to 0 by the end of the second period.  Goals by Mike Samse, Savane Kisich, Robert Ferreira and Kyle Wood.   The New England Stars would not go quietly, they battled back with three goals but it was not enough.  The Predators held on for the win and there 1^st championship.  Christian Billingsley showed true team spirit supporting the team while ready willing and able to take over in net if for any reason Matty needed to come out. Christian played solid all year for us but the coach’s decided to go with the hot goaltender.  

Coaches Harry, Tim and Jim were thrilled and proud of the boys for all their efforts on the weekend and the whole year.  A great year, a great group of kids and a great group of parents made this year a success. With much improvement by every player, from start to finish and with great effort from everyone.  Stay tuned for next year we will be back in it again!

96/97 Bantam Selects Capture EHF Bantam White AA  Championship
 
Sunday night the Bantam AA took to the ice for the final time of the year at the CDL arena.  The young men provided an exciting and satisfying finish to what had already been a very successful season.  The solid team effort, with great goaltending, timely offense, and quality penalty killing resulted in a 6-4 victory over the NECDL Classics.  The game was fun to watch, with the outcome in doubt until the last seconds when the Predators scored the final empty net goal.  The Coaches and players should all be proud of the accomplishments they achieved this year, the parents definitely are proud of them.  This year has been youth hockey at its best.
