After Belmont’s 2-0 loss to Wellesley on Wednesday, there was not an undefeated team left in Division 1. That upset win propelled the Raiders into the power rankings.

A couple of games I’m looking forward to this weekend are Catholic Memorial at St. John’s Prep and Stoneham at Arlington. The Knights, once the undisputed kings of high school hockey in this state, are looking to prove they belong in the discussion with SJP and Xaverian for the ultimate crown in 2021-22.
