The first-round game, which the Dot team won, 9-5, against South Boston, was closer than it read on the scoreboard. In the final, also against Southie, Dorchester came back from 1-0 to dominate, 12-1, and take home the Cup.

Five teams participated in the annual Street Hockey Mayor’s Cup at Garvey Park during school vacation. For many, it was their last Mite-level event, as they move up next year. The Gold team took home the Street Hockey championship in a 3-2 thriller over Hyde Park in a game that was decided in the fourth round of a shootout after regulation and overtime ended in a tie. Cam Holmes scored the game-winner in the shootout after Goalie Danny Ryan saved all four Hyde Park attempts. Special shoutout to the Lady Chiefs who made it all the way to the semifinals.
