TIME TO THINK SNOW
& PLAN AHEAD FOR WINTER!
The Revere High Patriots hockey team has had their best
start in years starting with a 4-1-1 overall record in the first
six games. The Christmas break has created an awfully
tough non-conference schedule for Revere, as they have
had four games in eight nights. In that span, the Patriots

the third period.
Lynn scored
a quick goal, that tied the score 2-2, the Jets broke the tie
with one minute left. Revere never gave up and decided
to pull the goalie in the final minute. Joe Ristano took the
spot of the goalie, and made the most of it. Ristano lit up
the lamp with 11 seconds left to give Revere a 3-3 tie rather
than a loss.
“Lynn is a very talented team and this was a good tie,”
Ciccarello said. “Of course it would have been nice to win,
!
but we played great and that’s all I can ask for.”

triots started off fast once again, as they took an early 1-0
lead at the end of the first period. Bourne tied the game
1-1 early in the second period. Revere answered with three
unanswered goals and took a 4-1 lead. The Patriots fell
asleep in the third period, and Bourne answered with three
unanswered goals of their own, that tied the game 4-4 with
three minutes left. Ciccarello took a key timeout for Revere
to regroup the troops. The timeout paid dividends for the
Patriots as freshman Anthony Cacca scored the gamewinner with one minute left.
“It has been someone different every game,” Ciccarello
said. “It really has been a collective team effort, and the story
of our season is someone new stepping up in a big way.”
Revere in their last game came out flat as can be against
Lowell on the road, and the Patriots were defeated 5-1.
“It was the last game after a long road trip,” Ciccarello
said. “None of us from coaches to the players were mentally
prepared for this game. We will bounce back and have a
much better effort in our next game.”
Revere will look for a bounce back effort on Tuesday (December 31st), at home against Somerville.
