2/1/12 | vs Vermont Academy | win 5-1 | It took a while to get our game legs back, but in the end Proctor brought home another nice victory. The first period saw some good passing and thinking, but neither team was able to score. Shots for the period were 13-8 in favor of Proctor. Things got rolling in the second period when Proctor started to bear down, skate harder, and finish plays. Shots were 19-5. Laura Christie opened up the scoring with 11:41 on the clock when Hazel Brewster fished the puck out of the melee on the offensize zone face off, passed it back to the point, and Laura put her screened shot right into the net. 43 seconds later Vermont answered when we turned the puck over in our zone, they found their open forward in the slot, and she was able to beat Crawford with a snappy wrist shot. At the 3:40 mark, Michelle Holmes took a long feed pass from Allie O'Sullivan and just went strong to net, getting around the defense, and muscled the backhand shot home. At 1:59 Nikki Gorman started a spree when Bre Davis and Kim Gosselin were banging at the puck in front of the net, and Nikki picked up the rebound and popped it in. At 1:19 it was Nikki agaiin. Mickey Sweeney stopped Vermont at the red line and fed it up the right boards to Bre. She made a cross ice pass to Kim Gosselin who flew in around the D, and went to go around the goalie with her patented move but the goalie got a stick on the puck. Nikki was following the play and had an easy tuck in to give us a comfortable lead. Third period shots were more even, 16-12, and our defense and Crawford were called on to work harder and make more plays. Crawford was even called on to shut down a penalty shot. Nikki ended the scoring with a solo rush, going around the defense and coming in on net alone. She deked the goalie and tucked the puck into the net with just one second on the clock and earned herself a hat trick for the day. We hope to pick up where we left off against KUA this Saturday.

NYA only had 7 skaters and they needed to work hard all night to keep the Hornets at bay. Allie O'Sullivan led off the scoring at 13:56 of the first period when Kim Gosselin circled the zone, fed her the puck at the blue line, and then Allie zipped her shot in the upper right corner of the net. Just over two minutes later she had the exact same shot in the exact same spot. This time Kelsey MacDougall fed her the puck from the left corner, and Allie had her best scoring night of the season. At 10:59 Allie got another shot off that was blocked, but Kim Gosselin was right there to tap in the rebound. Rylee Norton got her second assist of the night when she found Bre Davis back door. With 2:54 on the clock Bre sent Kim Gosselin in on a breakaway and Kim did her patented move around the goalie from left to right and tucked the puck in the back of the net. The second period only saw one goal, this one off an offensive face off that Michelle Holmes drew back to Sam Pion at the point, she fed the puck across, and Laura Christie's one timer ripped in just inside the right post. In the third period, Greer Brodie-Hall got her first goal of the season as Sam Pion fed her a perfect pass in the low slot and Greer popped in the wrist shot. The team gave her a huge celebration. At 7:53 Laura Christie fed Michelle Holmes coming in from the right circle, and Michelle's wrist shot tickled the twine. At 6:19 NYA got their goal on a 2 on 2 break, a pass to the low slot and a zinging wrist shot off the left post that Crawford had no chance on. Sam Pion and Greer combined once again with 2:47 to go. Sam fed Greer in the slot and then Sam tucked Greer's rebound in with a 5-hole tap. A well deserved rest over bonus weekend will lead into a re-match with Vermont next Wednesday.

1/21/12 | vs Hebron Academy | win 4-0 | It has been hard to come by victories at Hebron, so this was a good night. Proctor definitely controlled the game and put the first points on the board with 6:12 on the clock when Bre Davis, Rylee Norton, and Kim Gosselin combined with 3 give and go's to set Bre up in the slot to score on a wrist shot. At 4:31 Mickey Sweeney skated the puck down the ice into the right corner and made a perfect feed pass to Fallon Adair right in front, and she popped it home for the two goal lead. In the second period just, :37 seconds in, Michelle Holmes stole the puck in the offensive zone and found Kelsey MacDougall in the slot, and she plastered the puck into the twine. With 4:55 to go in the period, Kim Gosselin came around from behind the net and flipped her shot into the upper corner. While we did a goo job of controlling the play, that did not mean that Kelcey Crawford did not need to come up with some special saves, nor did it keep the defense from playing a stellar game once again. Shots on the night were 45 to 19. We are hoping for another good game at Kents Hill tomorrow.

1/18/12 | vs Groton School | win 3-2 | Groton came out flying and Proctor responded in kind in an exciting game today. Both goalies had over 30 saves and it was an exciting game to watch with opportunities for each team. The Proctor defense did a great job breaking the puck out of the zone and setting up lots of plays with good passes. Groton took advantage of the first Proctor penalty and took the lead at 11:52 of the first period. They made good use of passing to set up a 2 on 1, and then skated in from the boards and got a 5-hole shot that beat Crawford. Proctor answered about a minute and a half later when Sam Pion skated the puck up the ice, made a drop pass to Brea Davis at the blue line, and then punched home the rebound on Brea's shot. Just over 30 seconds later Allie O'Sullivan fed Kelsey MacDougall and she found Michelle Holmes coming down the slot - her wrist shot was placed well enough to give Proctor the lead for good. Saves for the period were 10 to 10, which is a good indicator of the closeness of the game. The second period went up and down the ice with 13 saves apiece before Proctor found the net once again. With 0:40 on the clock Rylee Norton broke the puck out of the zone, fed Breanna Davis, who fed Kim Gosselin crossing center ice on the left side. Kim flew in on net an went around the goalie tucking the puck into the back left of the net. That left us feeling pretty comfortable for quite a while. Sam Pion had her usual outstanding game on defense, shutting down several 2 on 1s. In the third period the saves were 14 to 13, and again it was a see saw battle. Kelcey Crawford kept coming up big for us. Allie O'Sullivan and Mikayla Sweeney did an excellent job skating the puck up the ice and getting us into the offensive zone. Laura Christie was playing sick but still had one of her best games of the year, making numerous break out passes to our center and giving us lots of nice opportunities. Both Michelle and Kim had other in close chances, but both times their shots went just over the crossbar. Groton scored with 4:18 on the clock and that had it closer than we wanted it to be. They came in and finished a 2 on 1 with a quick shot over Kelcey's left shoulder. After that it was hustle and grit from everyone involved. It was nice to come away with the win.

Everybody got playing time today as Proctor played well against Pingree. Proctor opened the scoring early at 13:41 of the first period when Hazel Brewster and Kim Gosselin combined to feed Brea Davis right out in front, and she did a spin move and went 5-hole. At 11:15 Sam Pion scored an unassisted goal as she skated the puck up the ice, walked in to the left hand circle, and wristed a shot just under the goalies arm stick side. At 4:35 Pingree made it close by making a pass from their offensive blue line to a wing at the right face off dot, and her shot deflected off a player and just found the upper right corner of the net. Kelcey was screened as well as having no chance from the tip. At 2:36 Brea Davis fed Allie O'Sullivan at the point and she got off a zinger that clanged off the cross bar and dropped down right into the net. Shots for the period were 15-3 as the Proctor offense kept the pressure up. In the second period the shots were 11-3, although Proctor was only able to notch a single goal. The defense did a good job breaking out of the zone, as well as keeping the puck in the offensive end at the blue line. With 2:25 to go in the stanza, Allie Folcik and Kelsey MacDougall combined to feed Court Birch at the blue line, and she powered in a shot from there. The third period saw similar action with the saves being 13-4. Court Birch and Kelsey MacDougall combined to form an awesome defensive duo for the period as Allie O'Sullivan and Mickey Sweeney went on the offense. Michelle Holmes was first to score at 9:09 when Sam Pion sent her into the zone and Michelle cut across the front of the net and zipped in a wrist shot. At 3:34 Kim Gosselin got her goal for the day when Kelsey MacDougall and Brea Davis combined to send her down the middle of the ice, and her unstoppable scorching wrist shot found the upper left corner. At 1:41 Allie O'Sullivan got her second of the game making it a very good day for the four year seniors. Michelle Holmes fed Carlie Coccia out in front, and then Allie picked up the rebound from her shot and popped it into the back of the net. Then with 0:46 Carlie Coccia fed Michelle Holmes going right up the ice, she split the D and went upper left once again. Next Wednesday it is off to Groton, and then the Maine weekend looms large.

1/11/12 | vs Winchendon School | loss 6-2 | The Hornets came to play today and gave Winchendon all they could handle for forty minutes. Winchindon scored first at 8:30 of the first period just seconds after a Proctor penalty had run out. They we able to put a rebound shot past Kelcey Crawford. At 7:46 Proctor evened the score when Brea Davis fed Kim Gosselin going down the middle of the offensive zone, and Kim went around the goalie and put the backhand shot in the upper left portion of the net. Then at 4:22 Brea Davis put Proctor in the lead when she came in and picked up her own rebound and tucked that in the net. Kelcey Crawford rose to the occasion in the first, turning 12 Winchendon shots away. Both squads came out flying in the second period and Kelcey got another 11 saves. Winchendon got the only goal of the period as they came down the left side and scored on a wrist shot. The whole team played well in the period. Mickey Sweeney did her ususal excellent job moving the puck and creating breakouts, and Allie O'Sullivan was tough in the corners and kept taking the puck away. Sam Pion had her normal stellar game, shutting down 2 on 1's and keeping the opponent offense at bay, and Laura Christie pinched well at the blue line keeping lots of pucks in the offensive zone. The saves in the third period were 8 for Crawford and 6 for Winchendon, but we ran out of steam in the last five minutes and gave up three goals, so the score looks more lopsided than the game was. At 13:31 Winchendon got a turnover in our defensive zone and the puck bounced out front to an open player who slipped the puck in the 5-hole and took the lead for the first time in 25 minutes. At 5:01 they came down the right side and got a shot off that just cleared the top of Kelcey's butterfly. At 4:10, a high shot from the left point was able to trickle in off the glove hand of Crawford, and at 1:32 they sealed the deal when they split the D and again went 5-hole. Overall, it was a good night and the girls should be proud of the game they played. Winchendon is now 15-0-1 in D1 and we went even with them for forty minutes. Now time to collect our thoughts and get ready for Pingree on Saturday.

1/11/12 | vs Lakes Region |

The team came out strong in it’s first Lakes League race, hosted by Holderness at the Gunstock Nordic Center. The Boys were a very close 2nd out of the 8 Lakes League schools, and the Girls were 4th. See the links for full results.

There was excitement for everyone, as this was the first race ever for many of the beginning skiers. In the B race, Bao Ngoc completed her first competition, having only seen snow for the first time at Proctor a few weeks ago! Gus Burtnett finished his first-ever race in 21st, while Stephen Harris won the B race and Dominique Kleine finished 2nd!

Maddy Pfeifer won the Girls race, continuing her multi-year undefeated reign over the league. With Beth Hoy in 18th, Emi Morison in 21st, Amina Hughes in 23rd and Sage Morison in 33rd, the girls finished 4th. Given the times and the points spread, however, the Girls are in striking distance of 2nd, and will have this challenge before them moving forward!

The Boys race saw Proctor contending for the top spot in the league for the first time in decades. This week we came out just a matter of 2 points (or a couple of seconds!) behind the very strong St. Paul’s School team. Adam Silverstein ran fastest for the team, finishing 4th, followed by Andrew Young in 6th, Alvaro Migoya in 8th, Taylor Pearlman in 9th, and our rookie Jack MacClarence in 12th. It should be an exciting season fighting it out with SPS for the league championships!

With every race there are variables, triumphs and lessons learned. It was a great chance for skiers to identify their weaknesses, reap the benefits of training and preparation, and experience the joy of skiing with their team and a community of competitors. According to one skier, the best part of the whole thing was the hot chilli sent by parents which we served up from the wax bench right after the race!

1/10/12 | vs NH Avalanche | tie 1-1 | It was another fun meeting between the NH Avalanche and the Proctor Hornets. Proctor ran all four lines all night long as all the players got into the action. Saves for the game were very even, 27-26. While there was not much scoring there was plenty of good hockey to watch. The Proctor defense did their normal good job of keeping the shots away from Kelcey Crawford, but every now and then the Avalanche came up with an opportunity where Crawford needed her best stuff to keep the puck out of the net. It wasn't until there were 51 seconds on the clock in the second (of the twleve minute periods) that Proctor got on the board. Sam Pion brought the puck into the offensive zone pulling the defenders over to her and she slipped the puck to Brea Davis who zipped a wrist shot that kissed the crossbar in the upper left corner. After that both teams had some good opportunities. Michelle Holmes picked uo a puck right out in front and zinged an shot just over the crossbar. The Avalanche got their goal at 0:21 of the thrid period. Taylor Methven sent Marina Jozokos and she split the defense, deked Crawford, and stuffed the pack in the far side of the net. It was a good night.

1/7/12 | vs New Hampton School | win 2-0 | A nice team effort from start to finish led to a good day for the Hornets. Both teams came out skating hard and the first period was very even with four saves for each goalie. Good forechecking by Proctor with the defense holding the blue line did give us several opportunities. Michelle Holmes took advantage of one of those when, with Kelsey MacDougall's help, she stole the puck near the right circle, skated in on net, and went top shelf on the short side to score and unstoppable goal. Later in the period Michelle took advantage of a Huskie penalty when Court Birch and Kelsey MacDougall combined to put on the pressure and Michelle was able to finish off the play from right in front of the New Hampton goal. That would be the last of the scoring for the day, but there was plenty of action. In the second period the Hornets outshot the Huskies 16 to 5 and had some good opportunities. Our defense played tough all game long and did a great job breaking the puck out of our zone. When they started by skating the puck up the ice they started play after play. In the third period the saves were 7 to 5, partially due to two penalties Proctor needed to skate off. The Hornets hung tough for the short handed situatiions with Kelcey Crawford shutting the door on any pucks that came her way. Next week is another big three game week and should lead to some more good hockey watching.

1/6/12 | vs NEWHL | win 3-0 | As always we welcomed the NEWHL squad to Proctor to see the campus and play some hockey. We skated all 4 of our lines and watched some good hockey. The Proctor defense did a good job limiting the shots that NEWHL got on the Proctor net, even though NEWHL provided the goaltenders at both ends of the rink. The Proctor Ladies did an excellent job breaking out of our defensive end, as well as pressing in the offensive zone. As always the defense did an excellent jop stepping up at the offensive blue line keeping the puck in play and creating offensive opportunities. Brea Davis opened the scoring on a rebound. Nikki Gorman had stolen the puck in the right circle, passed to Kim Gosselin at the left side of the net, and she got off a quick wrist shot that Brea cleaned up the rebound on. About two minutes later Fallon Adair picked up the puck deep in the right corner, fed it back to the right point, and Laura Christie scored on a well placed shot to the far post. The third goal came just over a minute later when Laura Christie fed the puck across the blue line for Sam Pion to get off a one timer, and Kim Gosselin pounded that rebound home. The rest of the night saw some up and down action but no further scoring. The next game is a re-match with New Hampton that should be another exciting contest.

Brea Davis started with a crisp pass to Kim Gosselin who came down the left boards deep into the offensive zone. A quick back hand pass to a wide open Nikki Gorman out front was popped in just :33 into the game. The rest of the period saw fast action and a penalty for each team, with saves being 12-11 for the period. New Hampton really ramped up the pressure at the end of the period and a blast from the slot that went top shelf beat Crawford with :52 seconds to go in the period. The torrid pace continued in the second period with 6 more penalties handed out. Nikki Gorman got her second of the game on a power play three minutes into the period. There was a scamble in the NH end and Nikki pounded the puck in, with Laura Christie and Kelsey MacDougall getting assists on the play. New Hampton tied the game once again with 6:26 to go in the period creating more tension and excitement for both teams. In the third, Brea Davis scored the game winner with 11:15 to go when she picked up the puck out in front and slipped it into the back of the net. Kelcey Crawford had 24 saves for the game, and once again enabled us to pick up the win as she kept the puck out for three short handed situations in the final stanza.

1/2/12 | vs Vermont Academy | win 8-0 | Proctor finally got on a scoring roll as they avenged their earlier loss to Vermont Academy. Laura Chrisite led off the barrage at 8:53 of the first period when Kelsey MacDougall fed her a nice pass at the point, and Laura's hard slapshot hit the upper right corner of the net. At 7:27 Brea Davis fed Kim Gosselin and Kim popped the wrist shot in the upper left corner. Proctor kept controlling the play, keeping VA locked up in their own end and coming up with new chances. In the second it took just over five minutes to find the net again. Brea Davis made a nifty move at the offensive blue line, fed a pretty pass across to Kim Gosselin coming down the far side and she went around the goalie and tucked the puck in the back side of the net. Just 30 seconds later Brea got her first of the game when Nikki Gorman dug the puck out of the right corner and fed Brea who was at the top of the crease. Brea was able to tuck the puck past both the defender and the goalie. Michelle Holmes showed her skill with 6:36 to go in the second when she came down on a 2 on 1, made a move to leave the defense behind, and zipped a shot into the upper left corner. With 5:32 to go Brea and Nikki moved the puck in the offensive zone and found Kim behind the VA net. Kim drifted out in front and flipped the puck in that upper left corner again. The third period continued to go our way as well. With 10:44 on the clock we won the offensive zone face off back to Laura at the right point, who fed it across to Sam Pion on the left point, and her one timer found the left side of the goal. At the 7:56 mark Kim Gosselin finished off the scoring when she popped in the rebound from a Nikki Gorman shot. Kelcey Crawford was a rock in net as she shut down every VA opportunity, and kept them from thinking they were going to be able to score on her. It is nice to see the spring and confidence back in the girls' steps.

1/1/12 | vs Williston Northampton School | loss 2-1 OT | It was a great game to watch with lots of good play by both teams. Saves for the game were 35 for Proctor and 31 for Williston, which is a good indicator about how evenly matched these two teams are. Neither team could score in the first period and Williston got untracked 2:02 into the period. They dug the puck out of their offensive corner and found a shot from the right circle that beat Kelcey Crawford. It only took Proctor :32 seconds to get on the board themselves. Michelle Holmes blew down the ice going around 2 or 3 Williston defenders before zeroing in on the goal and getting a 5-hole score. Most of the rest of the period saw up and down the ice action with both keepers making some stellar saves. With 1:19 to go in the period Kim Gosselin came storming around the Williston defense, and although she didn't score she left a fat rebound that Brea Davis slammed home. The third period continued with fast and furious action, and with 7:18 left in regulation Williston clanked a shot off the left post and were able to scoop up the rebound to tie up the game. 1:20 into overtime Williston got the puck out front and was able to put a backhander off the right post for the winning goal. It was exciting hockey from start to finish. Next game is against Vermont Academy tomorrow.

Hockey - Varsity Girls

1/1/12 | vs Phillips Exeter Academy | loss 3-1 |

Exeter opened the scoring with 11:51 on the clock in the first period with the play in front of Kelcey Crawford and were able to pounce on a rebound. Saves in the first period were 6 for Proctor and 8 for PEA. Proctor came alive in the second period and began to buzz. Proctor got off 21 shots in the period but PEA was still the team that scored the next 2 goals. On their second score they took advantage of a power play and were able to score from in close once again. The third goal came with 5:03 left in the period when their wing broke around the Proctor defense and came in one on oh. Brea Davis scored the pretty goal of the game with 2:01 remaining in the period on a 2 on 1 break. Her shot kissed off the crossbar over the goalies right shoulder. Proctor had a number of very close opportunities, but were never able to put the puck across the red line again. They had three pucks go across the goal mouth behind the goalie, but just couldn't get that last touch. In the third period Proctor outshot PEA 19-6, but were again unable to score. That includes pulling the goalie and skating 6 on 5 for the last 1:59 of the game. We next head out for a 6:15 game against Williston.

12/17/11 | vs Northfield Mt. Hermon School | loss 5-0 | The girls came out flat and Northfield Mount Hermon pounced on their opportunities. NMH scored 5 minutes into the first period. A cross ice pass from the red line to the blue line allowed NMH's #15 to split the defense and come in alone on Kelcey Crawford. A hard shot to the near post was good for the goal. 25 seconds later a defensive lapse let NMH come out from behind the net and score on a quick wrist shot. Saves for the first period were 8-8. The second period didn't go any better for Proctor. We were outshot 12-2 and outscored 3-0. With 8:10 on the clock we left a rebound out in front of Kelcey, and NMH's #18 picked it up and scored her second of the night. A minute and a half later #15 swept around our defense, came in on the left shot and rang the puck off the left post for her second score of the day. With 1:47 on the clock she broke through the defense again and went all the way across the crease to beat Kelcey and earn herself a hat trick. The Proctor ladies finally got untracked in the third, outshooting NMH 14-9, but were not able to muster up a score. It is now time for a good holiday rest and get ready to come back strong for the Exeter Tournament.

12/16/11 | vs St. Paul's School | loss 3-1 | St. Paul's was able to pick up two goals in the first period that proved decisive. The first was at 11:36 on the clock on a turnover and then a sloppy rebound. The second was with 7:41 on the clock and was again a defensive turnover that led to a shot from just below the right circle that beat Kelcey Crawford. We didn't get ice made between the first and second periods and that led to our low point as we looked pretty tired. St. Paul's was able to capitalize again on a turnover and score from right in front of the net. The between the period pep talk brought back some life and Proctor Pride. The girls came out flying and set St. Paul's back on their heels. Proctor got a number of excellent opportunities that just missed. With 8:49 to go, Kim Gosselin scored her second goal of the day. This time the offensive flurry led to a shot from Brea Davis at the point, Fallon Adair picked that up and made a perfect pass to Kim who was sitting on the back door and slammed the puck home. It was unfortunate that that was the only goal because we had a number of good offensive plays. Kelcey Crawford had 17 saves in game one and 40 in game two.

12/16/11 | vs Tilton School | win 2-1 | It was an exciting game from the drop of the puck to the final buzzer. Proctor had the edge in shots all the way along, but they had trouble finding the handle and getting the puck in the net. Proctor drew first blood with a power play goal 5:01 into the first period. Michelle Holmes won the draw over to Kim Gosselin, who passed back to Sam Pion at the point. Her shot was re-directed by Brea Davis in the high slot for a very nice looking goal. Two breakdowns at the end of the period led to the lone Tilton score. A penalty with just 29.6 seconds on the clock was the first, and letting Tilton skate the puck from behind the net to right out front was the second, so with just 14.9 seconds on the clock it was a tie game. That held up for the entire second period and half of the third. With 8:42 to go in the game, Courtney Birch found Kim Gosselin at the offensive blue line, she skated in and broke by both defenders, went around the goalie and popped the puck in the open net. After that Proctor kept up the pressure and missed chance after chance, including one wide open back door play that clanged off the post. One hour later it was on to play St. Paul's.
