H.S. ROUNDUP: Norwell boys hockey improves to 19-1 with big regular-season tourney win
The Norwell High boys hockey team hasn't lost since December.
In the 13 games since, the team has also scored less than six goals in a game just four times.
Both trends continued Sunday afternoon, as the Clippers skated to a 6-2 win over Triton in the Newburyport Bank Classic tournament, the capper of one of the area's most dominant regular seasons this winter. Norwell (19-1) advances to face the winner of Marblehead and Lowell in the Fournier Division championship on Tuesday at 5 p.m.
