Big scores for all from Malden hockey tournament
The annual Home for the Holidays Street Hockey Tournament was recently held at Linden Park in Malden.
According to director of online services and communication technology for the city of Malden, Ron Cochran, the money raised from the tournament will go towards offsetting the costs of ice time and for programs that enhance the hockey skills of all ages of students.
The money raised came from the players themselves, who paid a fee of either $25 or $30, depending on when they registered. Malden/East Boston Youth Hockey received all the proceeds from the tournament, which amounted to about $4,000.
Cochran added that the tournament itself provided the opportunity for old neighborhood people to play street hockey again and reconnect with friends from their childhood.
The teams participating in the tournament were primarily named after neighborhoods in Malden and played at least three games that ran 20 minutes each. There was a single elimination playoff in which half of the teams participated to decide the title of the tournament, which was won by Judson Square.
Bruce Shoebottom, Frank Simonetti, Gut LaRose, and Dave Shaw, all alumni of the Bruins hockey team, also made appearances at the tournament.
The use of banners is one way the results of the Holidays Street Hockey Tournament can be communicated throughout the city and the programs that it supports.
