When it comes to the bonds that hockey forges in Weymouth, Massachusetts, limitations are far from a deterrent in keeping the sport prominent within the community.

It’s been ingrained in this city for decades now, and through changing climates and cultures, those who hoist hockey on high have adjusted and done everything they can to ensure that the great tradition will continue well into the future.

From the rivalries of the old Weymouth North and South high schools, to the 2007 Super 8 finals appearance at the Garden, to the rapid growth of both a street hockey league and girls teams in town, Weymouth embodies the spirit of what a true hockey town in New England should be.

The home of past NHLers Tim Sweeney and Bobby Sheehan, and current top-tier products Charlie Coyle and Paul Carey, there is a definitive connection with the city and the game at its highest levels.
