PEEWEE MINORS PREPARE FOR FENWAY PARK APPEARANCE
The Assabet Valley Peewee Minors (2000's) will be celebrating the New Year with a game the players, coaches and parents will never forget. On Tuesday, Jan. 3, the Patriots will face the Middlesex Braves at Fenway Park! The "Peewee Winter Classic" will feature two teams that faced one another earlier this season in another historic venue, the 1980 rink at the Olympic Center in Lake Placid, NY.
To further add to the excitement, cameras from the New England Sports Network (NESN) will follow the Patriots from the locker rooms to the ice as the players skate in the shadow of baseball's legendary Green Monster. The network will show scenes of the event during its coverage of the Hockey East "Frozen Fenway" doubleheader on Jan. 7.
Skating outdoors on the hallowed grounds of Fenway Park at dusk promises to be the thrill of a lifetime, and the matchup between the Patriots and Braves promises to be a good one. At last check, the Patriots sat atop the National Conference of the New England Hockey League with an unbeaten 15-0-4 conference record, while the Braves were in first place in Hockey Northeast.
Wish the Patriots luck as they get ready to take the ice at Frozen Fenway!
