The Medfield eighth grade hockey team defeated Mansfield 6-1 on Wednesday night at the Foxboro arena to win the Junior High championship for the A1 Division.
This win bookends the team’s championships as they also won the title as sixth graders in a different division.
Having won the regular season title, the team endured a play-down round to reach the finals and their 3-0 record in that round earned them a shot at the title.
In the championship game, Medfield’s defense and goaltending smothered a potent Mansfield offense and Medfield’s offense took care of business finding the back of the net 6 times.
Although the final score may not reflect it, this was a hard fought victory and it wasn’t until the 3rd period that a pair of unanswered goals sealed the deal for the team.
Congratulations to the team on their championship win.
