Taggart Corriveau ’16
First Boys’ Hockey First Boys’ Hockey had a terrific season, boasting a 17-9-2 record, a Flood-Marr Championship trophy and a deep run in the Large School Martin/Earl Tournament that culminated in a second-place finish. In December, the boys capped a hard-fought FloodMarr Tournament run with a thrilling, last-second victory over an undefeated Kimball Union Academy team to take home the tournament championship trophy. In March, No. 2-seeded Westminster opened up the Large School Martin/Earl Tournament at home against No. 7-seeded St. Sebastian’s School. In front of a jam-packed Jackson Rink, the team fought back from a first-period deficit to win 4-2, with goals from Johnny McDermott ’16, J.P. Schuhlen ’16, Taggart Corriveau ’16 and Jack Flanagan ’17. In the quarterfinal game against No. 6 Belmont Hill, the Martlets capitalized on their momentum from the previous game to take an early 1-0 lead off a goal from Patrick Dawson ’18. Jay Powell ’17 scored two minutes into the second period to give the Martlets a 2-0 advantage, but Belmont clawed its way back into the game with a goal of its own midway through the second. Shortly after that, Schuhlen answered for Westminster to extend the lead back to two heading into the final frame. In the third, Belmont once again cut the deficit in half, but the Martlets sealed the win with another goal from Schuhlen. Martlet goaltender Stephen
Gasior ’16 made 35 crucial saves to hold the challengers at bay in the semifinal win. Westminster’s Martin/Earl Tournament Championship ambitions were dashed in the finals, as the team fell to a fast and physical team from Thayer Academy by a final score of 6-3. Nevertheless, the team had an impressive 2015-2016 campaign. For his outstanding play in the regular season, Taggart Corriveau ’16 was named to the All-New England Team by the NEPSIHA Coaches Association.
