The Mass. Hockey boys festival kicks off on Friday, and it will be an important one for the 2009-born players.
For players who are finishing their sophomore year of high school, they will be getting serious looks from college coaches as they inch closer to Aug. 1, which is the earliest they can commit to a school.
The biggest goal of this coming weekend, however, is to move on to Final 40, which will be held the following weekend at Lovell Academy. From there, it's all about making it to USA Hockey's Select 16 Camp.
