Milton’s varsity hockey squad claimed their fourth Tabor New Year’s Championship in five years at the annual tournament hosted by Tabor on January 1 and 2. The Mustangs clinched a spot in Wednesday’s finals following first and second round ties in overtime against Winchendon and Stanstead on New Year’s Day. The team took home the top trophy by defeating Tabor 6-1 in the final game.
“Senior forwards, Anthony Sabitsky (Sicklerville, NJ), Jake Farabee (Cicero, NY), Elliott Vorel (Boonton, NJ) and Cole Morrissette (Bristol, RI), were highly productive over the two-day tournament,” says head coach, Paul Cannata. “Sabitsky led the way with four points in the championship game.”
Class III student Drew Hotte (Lower Gwynedd, PA) guarded the net in all three games and turned back 23 Tabor shots in the final round.
The Mustangs move to 6-3-3 on the season and take on Lawrence this Saturday in an away bout beginning at 3 p.m.
