HIGH SCHOOL ROUNDUP: Marshfield boys hockey coach nets 350th career win as Rams top Lakers

Marshfield High boys hockey coach Dan Connolly reached a milestone on Saturday night as the Rams topped Silver Lake, 4-1, at Hobomock Arena to present him with his 350th career victory.

"It's a nice number," said Connolly, who's in his 24th season behind the bench. "It means I've coached a lot of great kids. We've had a lot of great kids come through this program. They're the ones who have won the games. And the assistant coaches, too. All the (credit) goes to them."

Marshfield (11-0-2) was sixth in the latest MIAA power rankings for Division 1 that came out Friday. The Rams' only loss, 4-1 to Framingham on Dec. 27, was an endowment game that doesn't count for MIAA seeding purposes.

"Honestly, it's a great group of kids we have this year," Connolly said. "They're real close. I enjoy being part of the staff coaching these guys. They're a special group, they have a special bond, and I think that's led to our success so far this year."

The Lakers (9-4-1) struck first as Ben Cronin was assisted by Aiden Dunphy and Brandon Cavicchi. Marshfield's Sammy Holte knotted the game at 1-1 on a power play with 1:13 left in the first period.

Ryland McGlame had the go-ahead goal for the Rams (11-0-2) at 7:33 of the second period, converting an assist from Jake Hemingway.

Jack Croft made it 3-1 just three minutes later. Hemingway and Nate O’Brien picked up assists.

Tommy Carroll capped the scoring at 12:33 of the third period.

Jim Clark of the MIAA wrote on Twitter that Connolly joins joins Mark Lee (St. Mary’s), Brian Foley (Longmeadow/Cathedral/Pope Francis), John Maguire (Waltham), John Messuri (Winchester/Arlington) and Steve Scanlon (Wilmington) as active coaches with at least 350 wins.
