A&B NAMES ITS LEADERS



The Bridgton Academy Coaching Staff is proud to announce Matt Buckley(Canton, MA/Canton High School) and Todd Brow(Winslow, MA/Winslow High School) as the 2010-2011 A and B Team Captains. Both players were selected by their coaching staff due their commitment, sacrifice and responsibility to the team and the school.
Buckley and Brow came into camp ready, willing and able to do everything expected on a Wolverine. "During dryland, both Buck and Brow were first in line for every physical evolution. They led, and in some cases, dragged their teammates every step of the way" said Assistant Coach Chris Travis. "Both Brow and Buckley led us through the difficult dryland events. They don't yell or are ra-ra type of leaders. You see them in the front and follow them" said Wolverine player Brendan Moore(Springfield, MA/Cathedral High School).
Both the A and B team are in capable hands as they close in on the start of the 2010 and 2011. The A squad will have 45 games highlighted by games with the Boston Junior Bruins, Bay State Breakers, Laconia Leafs and Vermont Glades. The B Team has 30 game including New England College JV, Laconia Leafs, Middlebury College JV, Norwich University Club and University of New Hampshire Club.

Black and Grey Scrimmage

The hockey team took to the ice on Wednesday in an intra-squad scrimmage. The game gave the guys a chance to hit the ice at game speed. It also provided the coaching staff with an opportunity to evaluate their team. Coach Lounsbury was very happy with what he saw. "I thought the scrimmage went well. It definitely gave the coaching staff a chance to sit back and see what people can bring to the table! We are exited about how things turned out and look forward to the start of the season next month," says Coach Lounsbury.

Coach Mike Meserve also learned a lot from this scrimmage. "Overall it was a solid game. The guys are starting to understand the systems we implement, but are a long way from being proficient," said Coach Meserve.

Both Bridgton Academy hockey teams will kick off their seasons in October. The A team will see their first competition on Saturday October 2nd at 1:00 P.M. against the Boston Bulldogs. The game will be played at the University of Southern Maine. The B team will see their first competition the following week when they host the University of New Hampshire's club team at 12:00 P.M. on October 9th.
