The Western Mass. Wizards U-12 PeeWee hockey team won the Newport Whalers Christmas Tournament this past weekend with a perfect 4-0 record throughout.
Held in Newport, R.I., the Wizards took on teams from around New England on the way to their third tournament championship of the season.
Max Hibbert starred for the Wizards on offense with eight goals and two assists, with a hat trick in the championship game serving as the highlight of the weekend. Hayden Gamache (six goals, two assists) and Luke Sturges (one goal, five assists) filled up the stat-sheet for the Wizards as well.
Goaltenders Drew Boissy and Deven Shukla split time in net, combining for one shutout and a 1.25 goals-against average.
The Wizards, who feature players from Northampton and Easthampton, are coached by Mike Shea, Mario Fricchione, Corey Hinckley and Jim Sturges.
Regan named to Mass. state junior golf team
Granby’s Ryley Regan made the cut for the 2026 Massachusetts state junior golf team as the eight-player roster was unveiled earlier in December.
Team Massachusetts includes 16 golfers total (eight boys, eight girls) and is part of the U.S. National Development Program where golfers “participate in organized programming and practices and will receive select benefits during the 2026 season,” per the massgolf.com website.
Regan is the youngest golfer on the girls team, yet already boasts an impressive resume with appearances in the Massachusetts Girls’ Junior Amateur and Massachusetts Women’s Amateur Championship in match play.
Regan competes for the Hopkins Academy golf team during the fall season.
