Don’t wait until Dec. 19, 20 and 21 to do your holiday shopping. Not because the stores will be packed, but because that’s the weekend of a slew of major New England boys prep hockey tournaments.
Every year, right before Christmas, a number of the region’s top prep teams take the ice to battle for holiday tournament trophies.
This season is no different, although a bit later than last year.
Most of these tournaments are historic. The Flood-Marr is one year shy of hitting 60. This will be the 50th Groton/Lawrence Holiday Tournament. It’s also the 41st season of the Avon Old Farms Holiday Classic.
