2010-2011 Game Recaps
Hudson Claims District Title as Wachusett Falls 5-2
Mountaineers to Graduate 10 Seniors in Class of 2011
March 11, 2011
WORCESTER, MA-- The 2010-2011 season came to an end on Friday night for the Wachusett Mountaineers as the squad fell 5-2 to the Hudson Hawks in the District Championship game at the DCU Center. After two impressive tournament wins over Shrewsbury and Marlboro, the Mountaineers (16-5-2) faced their toughest challenge yet in the defending-champion Hawks. The top-seed from Hudson proved to be too much for the Green & White on Friday night, though, and jumped out to a four goal lead that Wachusett could not erase.

This year marked the program's fourth straight District Playoffs appearance and the first Championship game in twenty five years after being eliminated in the semifinals the previous three seasons. The end to the season also marks the end of the high school careers for ten Wachusett seniors. The class of 2011 will graduate with playoff appearances in all four seasons, three semifinals apperances, and one championship appearance.
The graduating class marks one of the biggest in recent history for the program and the seniors include: Captain Steve Iacaboni (4 year Varsity player, Quinn Conference/CMass All-Star, 100 pt club member), Assistant Captain Christian Helger (4 year Varsity player, Quinn Conference/CMass All-Star, 1.58 GAA in the regular season), Assistant Captain Dylan Lamica (Quinn Conference/CMass All-Star), Matt Bernard, Anthony Caggiano, Charlie Davis, Cam Hanify, Doug McKenna, Zac Strasser, and Steve Trychon.
Congratulations to the Class of 2011 on all your success and best of luck in the future!

Mountaineers Advance to District Championship!
Team Tops Marlboro 3-2 in Semifinals; Iacaboni Reaches 100 point mark
March 9, 2011
MARLBORO, MA-- After three consecutive seasons of heartbreak in the District Semifinals, the Wachusett Mountaineers have reason to celebrate in March. The third-ranked Mountaineers (16-4-2) upset the second-seeded Marlboro Panthers Wednesday night at the New England Sports Center in Marlboro. Junior Dan Wisniewski, junior Jeremy Bennie, and senior Matt Bernard all scored for the Green & White while senior captain Steve Iacaboni's two assists pushed his career point total to 101. The senior has been a four year Varsity player and with three years of playoff experience under his belt, the Mountaineers will certainly be looking to their captain to lead them into Friday night's District Championship game against #1 Hudson. The puck drops at 8:00pm at the DCU Center in Worcester.
