Michael Morelli was nearly perfect.
The Maryland Black Bears goalie stopped 38 of 39 shots Thursday night in a 5-1 victory over the Maine Nordiques in a North American Hockey League East division contest at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston.

They did a good job clogging up the middle of the ice especially their defensive zone. We have to fight through it and be better tomorrow.
Morelli’s lone blemish was giving up a goal in the final two minutes of the game to Ty Matthews. It was Matthews’ first goal of the season.

Soon after word spread that a Penacook man named Duke had died, some of the legendary sports names from Merrimack Valley High School’s rich past – coaches, players, even a team manager – gathered on Google Meet.
They wanted to remember Duke, the superfan whose real name was Bill Duquette. He died earlier this month from COVID at the New Hampshire Veterans Home in Tilton, where a total of 28 residents had died as of Thursday. Duke was diagnosed two days after Thanksgiving and died earlier this month.
