On Wednesday, January 15th, Williston Hockey (7-4-1) will compete in its first home game of 2014 when they take on the Vermont Academy (7-4-2) at 4:45 p.m. Williston’s last home game was back on December 11th when the Wildcats fell to Cushing Academy 7-3.
Since that game, the Williston Wildcats have played eight road games going 6-2 during that stretch.
The Wildcats are looking to avenge a 2-1 loss to Berkshire on Sunday, January 12–a game marked by inconsistent play. This loss snapped a five-game win streak Williston started on December 22 against Northwood. The team’s next four wins came against St. Sebastian’s (12/28/13), Nobles (12/29), Worcester (1/8), and Winchendon (1/10).
Vermont Academy has won two of its last three games, including a big 4-2 win over one of the best prep teams in New England, Kimball Union. Williston tied Kimball Union 4-4 in the team’s home opener on December 4th.
As usual, I will be tweeting game updates from the team Twitter account (@WillistonHockey).
