Belmont Hill’s Varsity Hockey has continued its march through the ISL this February, now standing with a record of 18-8-1. After a small cold streak in late January and early February, in which they lost 4 of 5 games, the team has bounced back with impressive resilience, winning their last four games.
Among these wins were a 10-1 rout of BB&N and a 5-4 victory over Milton Academy. Most notably, the team secured a huge win over Nobles, one of the top teams in the ISL. With goals from Stephen Fabiano ’25 (2), Jake Tavares ’26, David Bosco ’27, and Andrew Waugh ’25, the team made a statement with only a few games remaining in the season.
The boys wrapped up the season beating Tabor 6-3 and losing to both Dexter and Westminster. When asked which of these he was most looking forward to most, Captain Jake McManus ’24 first brought up the game against Dexter, given Dexter’s position as one of the top teams in New England. Additionally, he pointed to the final game of the season against Westminster as it was senior night.
As for the end goal of the season, Jake’s answer was simple: “win a championship.” The squad holds the 6th seed in the Martin/Earl Tournament and is set for a rematch with Dexter on Wednesday, February 28th. Eager to bounce back after a disappointing end to the regular season, the boys are poised to make a deep playoff run. The Panel wishes them good luck as they try to complete an excellent season!
