TCS Families,

Our thoughts continue to be with you and your family during these challenging times.  We have a few updates to share on Tryouts, Registration, and payments.    

Tryout Update

Like many other teams, TCS was not able to conduct tryouts before rink closures and we do not know when rinks will reopen. Given the uncertainty, we are moving forward with a plan to conduct tryouts at the end of the summer (Aug 30-Sept 11, avoiding the Labor Day weekend).  In the unlikely event that rinks open this spring, we will attempt to conduct tryouts earlier.

Registration and Payment

Although we will not form teams until the end of summer, Tri-County and all other SSC teams must make team commitments and payments to the league this spring and must also enter into contracts for practice ice.  Because of these commitments, we are requiring both tryout and commitment fee payments in advance of team assignments.  

Asking you to make payments to TCS without knowing team placement is not something we have done in the past, but we are in uncharted territory based on world events.  Our goal is to make the player placement process objective and transparent for current and new Tri-County Saints players, regardless of where you played hockey last season.

If you have not done so already, please register for the 2020-21 season here.  

You will need to register and pay both your tryout fee ($100/travel or $50/mites, if you have not done so already) and commitment fee (lowered to $250 for mites and travel) by no later than May 15^th.  

If you do not register and pay your tryout and commitment fee by May 15th, we cannot guarantee you a spot for the upcoming season. Players registering after May 15th will be wait-listed.  The remainder of your tuition will be due later in the spring and early summer, details to follow.

Take care,

TCS Board

The Squirts finished the second half of the season strong, with only 2 loses since December in SSC play, and a great showing at the State tournament. They followed that up with 4 strong games in the playoffs. Through the playoffs the Squirt 1 team outscored their opponents 15-2, with 8 different players scoring goals, and at least 7 with assist. Brady DeRoche recorded 2 shutouts with the last one being in the championship game as the Saints closed out the season with a 2-0 victory over Barnstable. Cade Noonan had the game winner, with Kyle Gass scoring the second goal on a beautiful chip in to give some breathing room. The Saints knocked off the number 1 seeded Weymouth team 3-1, and also the number 4 seeded Braintree team 6-1 with stifling team defense along the way. The team displayed a lot of versatility and worked hard all season and truly earned the championship this season.

The PeeWee B team finished out the season with a second half record of 10-2-3. With strong play on both sides of the puck by offense and defense and stellar performance by Danny Castano in the net, the Saints found themselves in a battle at the top and the number 3 slot going into the playoffs.

The Saints scored first in games against the Coastal Stars and Seahawks, dominated in the offensive zone and walked away with wins against both to meet #1 seeded Canton Bulldogs in the Championship game. Canton was a challenge all season. The Saints scored first with a goal by Jake Leahy, assisted by Andre DelGrosso in the first period and another goal early in the second period by Andre after a key pass from Jack Corey. The Bulldogs put on the pressure in the third period, but the Saints wouldn’t let them score. Strong defensive play and key saves by Danny helped the Saints keep the lead and win the game!

The championship game against the Seahawks featured 2 evenly-matched teams. The Saints had goals by Aidan Cousineau in the 1st and Andrew Livingstone in the 2nd, with the Seahawks answering each time. With the game knotted 2-2 into the final minute of play, D-man William Cameron scooped up a loose puck off the boards and passed it to Matty Tourigney in the middle, who scored the game winner with just 43 seconds left. What an exciting win for the Saints!

Congratulations to Mite A on a fantastic season and a 2nd place division finish. They fell to a tough Pembroke squad, 4-3, in their season finale. Quinn Groethe had a hat trick in the loss while Ethan Lazdowsky had 46 saves in net. We are proud of you, Saints! See you next year!

Congratulations to the Bantam 1 team, who captured the South Shore Conference Herman B regular season championship. The Saints had a record of 22-7-2 in SSC play over the course of the season and move into the playoffs as the #1 seed.

What a great season, Saints!

Congratulations to the Tri-County Saints Mite A team! Central MA Winter Classic champions in an exciting 5-4 OT win! Way to go, Saints!
