JV Girls Fishermen Hit the Home Ice

A nice sized crowd gathered at Dorothy Talbot Rink last night to cheer on the Girls  JV Fishermen as they took to the ice for their first home game of the season.  It was, in fact, the first home game in many seasons as Gloucester/Rockport has been without a girls’ team for years.  And, while the final scored showed them down by one, the team did not disappoint.

I watch a lot of hockey and I have to say that I couldn’t stop smiling.  These girls worked hard, showed amazing spirit, and demonstrated great sportsmanship and teamwork.  They should be incredibly proud of the team they’ve become and I, for one, am excited to see what the rest of the season has in store.
