The junior varsity Windham/Westbrook/Bonny Eagle Trail Blazers hockey team took on Gorham and they led with intensity for 40 minutes, earning an 8-3 win at the Bridgton Ice Arena on Saturday, Feb. 27.
In the first half, the Trail Blazers were aggressive right out of the gate. Sophomore Wyatt Carpenter and Darren Haskell scored in the half. The Trail Blazers moved the puck nicely with strong defense and kept Gorham from many possession opportunities. Trail Blazers had a 2-1 lead at halftime.
The JV Trail Blazers played a great game all around, but it was the second half that brought the most action when the team scored six goals. Freshmen John Ulmer and Lucas Laforest scored back-to-back goals at the start of the second half. Gorham scored twice in the half, but they were no match for the Trail Blazers, whose momentum did not slow down until the final buzzer.
Trail Blazers seniors Jack Foley and Robert Doherty both scored in the second half. Laforest found the back of the net again. Before the final buzzer, Ulmer put one between the posts.
“I think we played a well-rounded 200 foot game” said Trail Blazers coach Ben Haskell. “We worked hard for each other and when we play as a team, good things happen. I think the players are getting more comfortable with each other and trusting each other. Once you build confidence in each other it all starts to come together.” <
