Greater Newburyport High School Hockey, Wednesday, February 3rd Hockey, basketball and wrestling are on this evening’s schedule for the local high school teams.HOCKEY:
- Newburyport at Lynnfield, 8:15 p.m. (O’Keefe Rink, Peabody)
Newburyport ’s 2-1 win over a strong Masconomet team at the Graf Rink last Saturday evening was perhaps the best game of the year played by the Clippers. Sitting in 2nd place with a 5-point lead over Masconomet, Newburyport (11-3-1) travela to McVann-Louis O’Keefe Memorial Rink, Peabody to face off against the Lynnfield Pioners (6-6-2). The Clippers won the first game against the Pioneers, 3-0, but it’s always tough beating Lynnfield in their home rink.
- Wilmington at Amesbury, 7:00 p.m. (Graf Rink, Newburyport)
Not an enviable task for Amesbury tonight. The Amesbury Indians (1-11-2) take on the undefeated and highly ranked Wilmington Wildcats (14-0) at the Graf Rink. Wilmington, in 1st place in the Cape Ann League, has size, speed, and discipline. Perhaps they will take Amesbury lightly as the Wildcats look forward to Saturday’s game in Wilmington against Newburyport, but looking at Wilmington’s record so far this season, don’t count on it!
