Six different goal scorers as Marauders win two of three games.
Finally! Not since the second game of the season, a 7-2 win against Stoneham, has the Belmont High School Girls' Ice Hockey team experienced a feeling like it did coming off the ice after their match against Needham High School Monday, Jan 28. And that is being on the right side of a blow out. Six different skaters scored Marauder's six goals and 10 players earned at least one point as Belmont (4-6-1) defeated an under-manned Needham (3-9-1), 6-1, in a non-league meeting. Belmont scored twice in the first and four times in the second to give the Marauders their second win in their last three games. Belmont scored early as Alexandra Cellucci (1 goal, 2 assists) netted the first goal a minute and 49 second into the game as the senior co-…

Lexington's teams prove to be unwelcome guests as they send back Marauders.
Boys' Score Not Indicative of Effort It was Parent's Appreciation Day for Belmont High School Boys' Ice Hockey Saturday, Jan 13, at Belmont's Viglirolo Skating Rink. The railing along the raised deck was covered with heartfelt messages by players to their mothers and fathers. And Belmont players demonstrated to their parents an effort and grit that allowed the team to play with Lexington through the first two periods, trailing 3-1 (with freshman Brian Garrett scoring from fellow frosh David Bailey 29 seconds in to the second period), including stretches where Belmont's opportunistic offense was complementing a tight defense that frustrated the Lexington High School Minuteman forwards just as top-flight Reading High was left pondering. But …

Despite controlling matches, lack of a scoring punch results in two losses.
A year ago, a one-goal deficit against the Belmont High School Girls' Ice Hockey team wasn't hardly a concern; heck, the team twice came back from three-goals down to tie games. With scoring aces Caroline McCarthy, Erin O'Donovan and Alexandra Cellucci all on one line, being a goal behind was an afterthought for a team that would go on to score nearly 100 goals. Fast forward to this season and being down by one will more than likely result in Belmont High School falling into the loss column. Despite how well they are skating, how strong their defense is playing or as their pass-oriented offense dominates a game, the Marauders are missing the most essential part of the game: they are not putting the biscuit in the basket. Or more simply: …

McLaughlin scores a brace for Girls; Boys run into several very big Sachems.
You couldn't wipe the grin off Head Coach Mark Haley's face and it wasn't because it was frozen in place after spending two hours in North America's coldest indoor rink on Wednesday, Jan. 3. Nope, Haley's satisfaction was due to this season's first complete performance from the Belmont High School Girls Ice Hockey team (2-2-1) as the team overwhelmed Winchester High (4-2) in a comprehensive 3-0 shutout at Belmont's Viglirolo Rink. "They're getting there," said Haley of the team top-heavy with freshmen and sophomores, noting the team beat the Sachems in all facets of the game: goal tending, defense and offense. "It's certainly an improvement and you can see that they are playing at a higher level each time they're on the ice," said Haley…

Boys' fall to SpyPonders in shutout.
There are matches and games in all sports where an officials' aggressive call or pattern of judgements – or lack thereof – will bring the comment that the referees were no longer officiating the match but have inserting themselves into the game. And on the pair of goals scored against Belmont High School Girls' Ice Hockey team Saturday, Dec. 22 in their 2-1 loss to neighbors Arlington High, the refs' actions directly resulted in both tallies; one on a questionable call late in the game and the other on a less-than-skillful hip-check against Belmont's best defender. "We played a great game. But for some reason we always have trouble scoring against Arlington," said Mark Haley, Belmont's long-time head coach. "We need more shots and more …

Senior Cellucci nets wrap around with 10 ticks remaining; Boys' surrender each type of goal.
With the net empty at the host's end of the ice, Belmont High School Girls' Ice Hockey team was looking at the wrong end of a 3-2 score in their home opener against an undermanned Wakefield High School (who brought only 10 skaters to Belmont) on Wednesday, Dec. 19 at Viglirolo Skate Rink. As the seconds ticked down to less than 20 seconds remaining in the match, Belmont had one final rush up the ice with a chance to salvage the game. Following the puck into the Wakefield zone, senior co-captain Alexandra Cellucci caught up with the disk behind the Warrior goal. After the puck was kicked back to her behind the net, Cellucci quickly drove to the left side of goal while Wakefield's goalie, Katelyn Guarino, was expecting her on the right. …

Schools, players and community honor victims of Sandy Hook shooting tragedy.
The ice on the rink was chippy and grooved after the match between Belmont and Wakefield girls Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 20. But rather then leave the ice for the Zamboni to lay a clean sheet at the Viglirolo Skating Rink for the next game, the girls joined their male counterparts in a moment of remembrance of a national horror. Brought together by long-time Belmont Boys' Head Coach Dante Muzzioli, intermission between the match-up of Middlesex League rivals became a unifying event for the students to honor the 26 victims of the school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School that took place just five days earlier. "It is a great opportunity for the boys and girls to know that they are more than (hockey players)," said Muzzioli before …

Social media spreads word as teens and youngsters head to team dinner at il Casale.
Blame Tyler Seguin. The young (he's just 20, everyone) Boston Bruin scoring star tweeted (@tylerseguin92) that he was heading to a team dinner before the "real" season – the playoffs – begin. Someone discovered through the social media world of Facebook and twitter that the dinner was taking place in Belmont, at the critically-acclaimed il Casale in the Center. That was retweeted and businesses in town began twittering the scene happening around 7 p.m. And before you could say Mark Zuckerberg, a crowd of Bruins fans, hockey players and teen age girls were outside Chef Dante de Magistris' restaurant waiting for their favorites to walk through a gauntlet of screams, hands and cellphone cameras to SUVs or a team bus waiting along Leonard …

Remembering an outstanding Belmont High Girls' Hockey season.
A huge "thank you" from the Belmont High School Girls' Ice Hockey team for all the support from our fans this season. The highlights from the 16-win season includes: • Taking a win and a tie from the number-one team in the state, Woburn. • A pair of last-second goals against Woburn and Watertown to escape with ties. • Beating two state top-10 teams and an undefeated squad – Woburn, Lexington and Westwood – in as many games. • An eight-game winning streak. • A 12-2 home record. • Having one of the most potent offenses in the state (90 goals, nearly four goals a game) led by its first line of junior Alexandra Cellucci and seniors Erin O'Donovan and Caroline McCarthy. • Four shutouts by junior goaltender Megan Foley and her stellar defense…
