The Marblehead hockey team skated its way to a Fournier Division championship in the Newburyport Bank Classic Tournament on Tuesday, topping Triton to end the regular season with a 12-9-1 record.

In the 2-1 final at Graf Skating Rink in Newburyport, James Caeran and Toby Grenier were on goal-scoring duties – both finding twine in the second period – while Leo Burdge made 24 big saves between the pipes.

Burdge was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player. His Headers check in at No. 7 in the MIAA Division 2 power rankings after starting the winter 0-6.

Marblehead defeated Andover, 4-1, to advance to the title game as five Headers dished out assists.

Peabody-Saugus 1

Despite a goal from Brandon Barone off an assist from Dom Chianca, it wasn’t Peabody-Saugus’ day in a 6-1 loss to host St. Bernard’s-Fitchburg. 

Peabody-Saugus head coach Jason Marshall did applaud goalie Evan Tybinkowski, however, as the netminder went home with 27 saves.

GIRLS HOCKEY

Notre Dame (Hingham) 2

St. Mary’s 1

Talk about an early-evening dandy. In a powerhouse matchup between the top two teams in the state, No. 1 St. Mary’s dropped one to No. 2 Notre Dame (Hingham) in the Hingham Showcase.

Bella Freitas ripped one blocker-side for the Spartans (18-2-1) early, but St. Mary’s struggled to find its offense from that point on. Notre Dame found its equalizer in the second, then Emma Burke wristed a point-shot into the top corner to win the game in sudden death.
