It is a weekend where there is truly… so much hockey and so little time.
During a weekend when some of the region’s top Junior A teams – including the host Valley Jr Warriors Junior A squad – will compete in the 14th Annual Warrior Classic, three Warriors teams will take part in the Massachusetts Hockey Tier I & Tier II State Championship Playdowns.
Featured this week will be three VJW teams – the U-16 I, U-16 II and VJW ’95 Elites. Games will be contested in Saugus, Foxboro and South Boston.
VJW ’95 Elites
It has been yet another season to remember for the Warriors. Through 14 league games, the Warriors have posted an 11-0-3 record. As a result of their strong play, the team earned a third-place seed and a matchup against South Shore on Friday. They will then take on the Central Mass Outlaws and Western Mass on Saturday in hopes of advancing to Sunday’s final. All playoff games will be contested at the Kasabuski Arena in Saugus.| Game Date | Game Time | Home Team | | Away Team | | 11/13/09 | 6:00 PM | South Shore | vs | VALLEY | | 11/13/09 | 7:30 PM | Central Mass Outlaws | vs | Western Mass | | 11/14/09 | 7:30 AM | South Shore | vs | Western Mass | | 11/14/09 | 9:00 AM | Central Mass Outlaws | vs | VALLEY | | 11/14/09 | 6:00 PM | VALLEY | vs | Western Mass | | 11/14/09 | 7:30 PM | Central Mass Outlaws | vs | South Shore | | 11/15/09 | 3:40 PM | Final | vs | Final |

It has been another strong season the Warriors, but the players are looking forward to continuing its streak this weekend in the all-important Massachusetts Hockey Tier I State Championship Playdowns. This past season, Mike Holubowich’s team skated to a 10-0 record in league play and an equally impressive 9-1-3 record in non-league action. One year ago, the squad came through with a dramatic overtime win in the finals of the Massachusetts State Tier 1 Championships contest to earn a spot at the USA Hockey Tier 1 National Tournament. This weekend's playoff games will be held in Foxboro.
