Erin Craig earned the game puck for “holding her position and challenging for the puck,” according to her coaches. The sweet play of the game was a beautiful pass from Jack Breault through the crease to Derek Gauvin who was waiting at the back door and immediately put the puck in the back of the net.

Girls: The Gateway Girls team scored its first-ever victory Sunday against the Newport Whalers 6-3. With a total of only two lines and three defensemen, Gateway outhustled Newport and after falling behind early in the game, deflated Newport’s chances with three quick goals to start the second period.
