In a repeat of last year's state championship match, the Massena Red Raiders skated to a 5-3 win over the Ithaca Little Red. Massena wore its red road jerseys rather than home white shirts, and much of the crowd was clad in red.

After a stalemate first period, the Raiders fashioned a 3-1 lead in the second period and outscored their opponents 2-1 in the closing frame. Wyatt Wilmhurst put...

The little guys scooted up and down the ice, made finesse plays when needed, and gave high fives after big goals to the delight of the parents and other spectators....
The Akwesasne Wolves had some pretty goals last week. There just wasn't enough of them.
