Early in the game Jenna Oakes and Emily Eldridge had a breakaway but the loose puck bounced around in the crease before Gloucester goalie Hailey Nasula batted it away. A minute into the second period Oakes had another big chance to score as she picked apart the Gloucester defense but her shot went wide. Akwesasne went...

In one instance he was caught out of position a...
The Akwesasne Chiefs will not play hockey this season and may not come back in the future. Phil DeFranco, who had been involved with the team said they didn’t get enough players for a full roster.
