TOWNIES BLANK KNIGHTS TO AVENGE EARLY SEASON TIE
Providence Country Day is responsible for one of the two blemishes on the East Providence High School Hockey team's 2005-06 record.  A December tie with the Knights left the Townies 0-1-1 in league play and left many questioning whether or not the graduation of Louis Peterson, David Hill, and Travis Barao would lead to a season long struggle for the Townies.  The answer to that question is that the Townies have rattled off thirteen straight wins since that early December tie with PCD, including Friday night's dominating performance at Burrillville.  The Townies outshot the Knights 38-8 and defeated them 5-0 behind strong efforts by Ross Amaral (2 goals), Kyle Croke (1 goal), Mike Cicerone (2 assists), Tony Galvao (2 assists), and Jeff Fontes (pp goal).  Cameron Ford notched his third shut out of the season.
