2024-2025 Hockomock Girls Hockey Preview
By HockomockSports.com Staff
2024-2025 Hockomock Girls Hockey Preview
Canton
2023-2024 Record: 19-5-1 (Hockomock League champions)
2023-2024 Finish: Reached Div. 2 quarterfinals
Coach: Marissa Massaro
A new chapter begins for the Canton girls hockey team, starting with new head coach Marissa Massaro.
Massaro played locally in high school at Brockton and played over 120 games at the collegiate level at Franklin Pierce, with her name scattered all over the program’s record book. That experience will be key as the Bulldogs will have a number of new faces in the lineup following graduation and other departures. Canton is without its top six scorers from last year’s team that reached the Elite Eight in Division 2. But with departure comes opportunity, and Canton still has talent up front with juniors Abby Stock (three goals, eight assists) and Georgia Penders (five goals, two assists), and sophomore Cassidy Lyons (two goals, six assists).
Junior Kate Budway logged over 1,300 minutes in the cage last season, gaining valuable experience, and is back between the pipes for another season to anchor the Canton defense. Junior Georgia Campbell is another familiar face back along the blue line and also played a big role in the offensive zone, registering 10 assists a season ago.
Franklin
2023-2024 Record: 7-14-0
2023-2024 Finish: Reached Div. 1 Round of 32
Coach: Brendan LaMarre
2024-2025 Hockomock Girls Hockey Preview
With key players back at all positions, expectations are high for the Panthers under first-year head coach Brendan LaMarre.
There’s plenty of familiarity for LaMarre, who has been an assistant coach for the Panthers the past two seasons, and this group of players — the majority of which already have varsity experience coming into this winter. Franklin boasts five of its top six forwards back in the mix including its three leading scorers: Julia Flynn (21G, 12A, 33 pts), Maddie O’Brien (7G, 6A, 13 pts), and Haley Wernig (6G, 6A, 12 pts). That trio gives the Panthers a big advantage right off the bat as they look to build depth at the position with both returning and new players battling it out this preseason.
Defensively, another big advantage Franklin has is the experience and talent in net with returning starter Izzy Brown, back between the pipes for her fourth season. The Panthers have a veteran blue line group that features returning senior Hannah Auerr, junior Jenny McLaughlin, and sophomore Madison Reardon. With only five total seniors on the team, Auerr’s leadership in the defensive zone will be crucial.
“We will have to play disciplined, structured hockey and that has been my challenge to the team for the year,” LaMarre said. “We have a strong leadership group who are smart, athletic, and work hard and I am looking at my leaders to hold the team to a high standard when it comes to those attributes.”
King Philip
2023-2024 Record: 15-9-0
2023-2024 Finish: Reached Div. 2 Round of 16
Head Coach: Ken Assad
Following a 15-win campaign and a second-place finish in the Hockomock League last year, King Philip brings a boatload of familiar faces back into the fold for this winter.
It’s still a young squad — no seniors and 11 eighth graders — and the Warriors have some work to do to replicate the offensive production of last year’s small but impactful senior class, which featured Hockomock League MVP Kelly Holmes. But with four players back who had double-digit points and a roster full of players eager to make their mark, the Warriors will certainly be in the mix for the league title this season. Up front, freshman Annabelle Curran already has a year of varsity experience and had 18 goals and 10 assists last year. She’ll be joined up front by a pair of experienced juniors in Katie McGann and Cam O’Shea. Sophomores Ella Morgan, Tayla McDuff, Rylan McKillop, and Molly Morgan will also be in the mix offensively for KP.
There’s some familiarity among the blue line group too. Junior Grace Lehan-Allen and sophomore Calleigh Brady both played pivotal roles last year and will anchor the defensive group this season. Sophomore Erin Steck and freshmen Caitlyn McManus and Lanie O’Shea are also going to be leaned on to handle opposing offenses in front of returning starting goalie Kiki Lynch, who is coming off a very strong sophomore season. With Lynch back in net, the Warriors already have a very strong foundation defensively to build on. Sophomore Olivia Klein and eighth grader Hayden McDuff offer stable depth at the goaltending position.
“This year’s team will rely on our team speed and toughness in all three zones,” said King Philip head coach Ken Assad. “Our eighth graders are very talented and they all will get playing time and will contribute. I never say rebuild, I expect to compete first for the Hock title and move on to the states and take it one game at a time from there.”
Mansfield/Oliver Ames
2023-2024 Record: 7-10-3
2023-2024 Finish: Missed playoffs
Coach: Jamie Mullen
The Warriors finished just two spots out of the final playoff spot a year ago so this winter presents a new chance for Mansfield/Oliver Ames to make a push for the playoffs.
In order to make a run at the state tournament, and potentially a league title, the Warriors will look for some new faces to produce on the offensive end. Mansfield/Oliver Ames graduated its two leading scorers from a year ago but that void offers an opportunity for the returning (and new) players to make a mark. Offensively, senior captains Emma Rabinovich and Madeline Martin — both from Mansfield — will lead the way, both on and off of the ice. Rabinovich was a Hockomock League all star a season ago and both are entering their fourth year with the team. Sophomore Kayla Isleib (OA) will look to build on an impressive rookie year where she tied for third on the team in both goals and assists.
Mansfield/Oliver Ames’ third captain is senior Madison Guilfoyle, another four-year veteran, who will anchor the defensive group. In net, sophomore Cristina Coviello is back between the pipes after emerging as a top goalie for the Warriors, who also have players from North Attleboro and Taunton this season.
Stoughton/Sharon
2023-2024 Record: 0-20-0
2023-2024 Finish: Missed playoffs
Coach: Chad Kelley
With another year of experience as a program and the addition of some talented newcomers, Stoughton/Sharon is set to take the next step forward this winter.
While the majority of the Black Knights’ roster is made up of players from Stoughton, there are four players from Attleboro and three from Sharon. The strength of the team starts in the back end with sophomore Sarah Scappaticci back in the cage for a second straight season. Even though she was just a freshman last year, Scappaticci quickly emerged as a top goalie and earned Hockomock League honorable mention for all stars. Along the blue line, junior captain Addie Strunk (Stoughton) and sophomore Ella Cummings (sophomore) anchor the defensive unit. Strunk has a lot of experience at the varsity level and Cummings was the team’s leading scorer last year and a Hockomock League all star. Attleboro freshman Adelle Frackleton returns for a second straight year while Stoughton freshman Kayla Monaghan could make an instant impact for the Black Knights.
Senior captains Avery Drainville (Attleboro) and Peri Rodman (Sharon) are the key pieces on the offensive end and will be relied upon for their leadership both on and off of the ice, especially with a team that is primarily sophomores and freshmen. Junior Megan McGowan (Stoughton) is another returner with varsity experience. The Black Knights will turn to some new faces to fill out the rest of the forward lines including Stoughton freshmen Raegan Costello and Keira Moenius and Attleboro sophomore Simone Meixler.
“I really like this group of kids,” said Stoughton/Sharon head coach Chad Kelley. “They have been working their tails off in the pre-season and I am optimistic we can surprise some people this year. We need to get off to a fast start and grind out shifts one at a time. Our success will be the result of being responsible in our own end and making the most of our chances in the offensive zone.”

Playing shorthanded without leading scorer Evan Houle, the Bombardiers got a huge boost from junior Jaiden Outland, who hit four three pointers and finished with career-high 18 points to pace the Attleboro offense. Durfee held a 18-14 lead after eight minutes but Attleboro came storming back in a 22-point second quarter with Outland netting eight point, Jake Struminski adding six of his eight points, and Colin Morais chipping in with five of his 15 points. The Bombardiers won the second quarter 22-5, taking a 36-23 lead into the locker room.
Canton, 66 vs. Fenway, 49 – Final – Holding a six point lead at the break, Canton used a 19-point third quarter to stretch the lead and eventually finish off Fenway for the second time in as many days. The Bulldogs got scoring contributions from six players in the big third quarter with senior Lanse Dorcelus scoring six of his team-high 16 points, senior Nate Mei adding five of his 13 points, and Matt Chafin (11 points), Dillon Nguyen, Conor Hunter, and Bahsor Mahn (eight points) all scored in the quarter as Canton turned its halftime lead (32-26) in a 51-36 advantage going into the fourth. Jacob Solomon added a trio of threes and finished with nine points.
Foxboro, 58 vs. Medfield, 54 – Final – Tied at halftime, Foxboro pulled ahead for good with a big third quarter to land a key win over Division 2 foe Medfield. Foxboro had a 20-15 lead after a quarter but the teams went into the locker room at halftime deadlocked, 30-30. Five different Foxboro players scored in the third and the Warriors had their best defensive frame of the game, winning the third 17-9. Alex Penders had five of his 14 points, Andrew Finn and Cam Barreira each sank a three, Sam Golub (nine points) added a basket, and Dylan Gordon had four of his team-high 22 points to help Foxboro pull away.
Franklin, 43 vs. Leominster, 30 – Final – Anchored by one of its best defensive efforts of the season, Franklin landed an impressive win over one of the two ranked teams in Division 2. Junior Ben Harvey had a fantastic showing on the defensive end, holding one of Central Mass’ best players Justin Dadah Jr. to just one three-pointer in the fourth quarter. The Panthers used a 16-0 run across the first and second quarters to create separation. Sophomore Sean O’Leary scored eight of his 11 points in the opening half while Harvey got it going on the offensive end with six points in the second. Geino Scaringello gave the Franklin offense a big boost in the second half with all of his nine points coming over the final two frames.
King Philip, 68 vs. Falmouth, 36 – Final – King Philip poured in 26 points in the third quarter to run away with a big win over Falmouth in the first round of the Somerset-Berkley tournament. The Warriors built a 27-16 lead at halftime, getting a trio of three-pointers from Grant Kinney in the first half and one apiece from Braeden Sottile (10 points) and freshman Tommy Kilroy. Junior Will Laplante took over in the third, hitting three more threes and went on to finish with 16 of his team-high 24 points after the halftime break. Charlie Grant and Sottile also hit threes in the third quarter for KP, who had 12 makes from three-point range.

In the second half, Mansfield locked down defensively, allowing only one point in the third and 12 points in the half, to pull out a win against a team ranked in the top 10 in Div. 1 and advance to the final of the Roundball Classic. Matt Hyland led all scorers with 16, 10 in the second half, and added nine rebounds, five assists, and four steals. Chris Hill added 13, including seven in the second to help the Hornets even up the game and 4-for-4 from the line in the fourth quarter. Andrew Slaney nailed four threes, including two in the first to keep Mansfield close, and finished with 12 points. Mansfield hit eight from beyond the arc as a team and will face the winner of Whitman-Hanson and Brockton in Wednesday’s final.
Milford, 46 vs. Shrewsbury, 57 – Final
Sharon, 59 vs. Walpole, 71 – Final – Sharon trailed by just three at halftime but Walpole exploded for 27 points in the third quarter to run away with the win in the championship game of the Davenport Classic. Sophomore Nate Katznelson dropped a career-high 27 points for the Eagles, but Walpole’s balanced attack — five players scored in the third — and successful three-point shooting in the third (five makes) ended up the difference.
Stoughton, 59 vs. Milton, 38 – Final – After a back-and-forth first quarter, Stoughton dominated the middle quarters to build a double digit lead that never relinquished the rest of the way. Junior Rayan Sablon hit four three-pointers in the first half and finished with 22 of his career-high 31 points to help the Black Knights get the win. Connor Andrews added nine of his 17 points in the opening half as Stoughton built a 34-19 lead at halftime and had a 46-25 lead going into the fourth.
Taunton, 77 @ New Bedford, 42 – Final – Taunton senior Trent Santos scored his 1,000th career point as the Tigers rolled to a big win to finish the regular season. Santos finished with 29 points in the win and hit the milestone with — fittingly — a pull up three in transition in the fourth quarter. Santos had five threes in the game and 10 total makes. Chris Volcy came off the bench and scored half of his 12 points in Taunton’s 25-point second quarter, turning a close game into a blowout by halftime (43-21). Faisal Mass added eight points for Taunton, which had nine players get in the scoring column.
