Congratulations

Sophie Zemianek named the Free Press' Miss Hockey for the 2021-22 season - from The Burlington Free Press:

Messenger Sports Athlete Awards:

Most Impactful Freshman-girls: Erin Jackson!
This season, the Comets didn't give up many goals, and freshman Erin Jackson was a big reason. Jackson was 9-0 in her starts this year, giving up only 11 total goals. Her stat line on the season could not have been much better, boasting a 1.294 GGA, 0.917 save percentage, and three shutouts. Jackson's crease awareness and quick glove-hand are great news for Comet hockey as they look to hang more banners at the Complex over the next three years.


Biggest Personality-boys: Ethan Mashtare!
Ethan Mashtare is hard to miss in a crowd; at 6 foot something, he’s usually head and shoulders over most and his bright blonde hair and big smile are always easy to spot. Ethan’s support for his teammates and love for the sport speaks volumes about who he is as an athlete and a person; he’s also not afraid to show up to a Nordic relay race in a pink leotard.


Heart and Hustle-boys: Isaac Gratton!
This year, Isaac Gratton provided a spark off the bench for the Bobwhites regardless of game circumstances. Gratton left it all on the court every night; whether the team was up by 20 or in a tight game, he was diving for a loose ball, taking a charge, or fighting for rebounds. His play often inspired his teammates and caught the attention of the mighty BFA student section!


Heart and Hustle-girls: Ruby Dasaro!
 Ruby Dasaro led by example all season on both offense and defense. Her nightly efforts often included leading the Comets in points and rebounds and running the offense. Dasaro is poised to lead the Comets to a bright future coming off this strong sophomore season!

Community Connection

Career Connection:
This week Silas Harris, Colleen Gallagher, Chris Carswell, and Charlie Poirier from Mylan Technologies presented to BFA and NCTC students in the Career Pathways Center. They discussed job and internship opportunities with Mylan, the educational and professional experiences that led them to their respective roles with the company, and what students can do to work towards having careers in science, engineering, and human resources. We would like to thank them for taking the time to give our students this valuable information.
