Braintree’s Quick Start Defeats Framingham 3-2

FRAMINGHAM – The Framingham High boys ice hockey team dug itself into a hole Wednesday night, and was not able to recover and earn a W.

Braintree defeated Framingham 3-2 at Loring Arena tonight, February 9.

Braintree scored three goals in the first period to take a 3-0 lead.

Flyer Jeremy Auren put Framingham on the scoreboard with a power play goal with about 5 minutes left in the middle period.

After two periods, it was 3-1 Wamps.

Noah Albright scored in the third to cut the lead to 3-2, but the Flyers could not get the tying goal.

Framingham had a late chance going on the power play with about 45 seconds left in the game, but in the end Braintree took the victory.

The good news for the night is the Flyers Hockey Fights Cancer event raised more than $2,600 dollars for pediatric cancer research.

Framingham is back on the ice against the Raiders of Wellesley High on Saturday.
