MALDEN — It officially counts as a tie, but the lift the Natick girls hockey team got from its regular season finale Thursday night certainly felt like a win. Anchored by the clutch play of junior goalie Sophia Luoni (30 saves) all the way through a flawless shootout, the RedHawks (12-7-3) clawed out a comeback, 2-1 shootout win over Reading to claim the inaugural Malden Catholic Showcase championship. Caylee Lynch’s goals in the third period and the shootout joined Luoni’s heroics, as Natick won the shootout 2-0 after four rounds. Paired with a 1-0 win over Malden Catholic in the…

BRIDGEWATER — A strong third period led Bishop Stang to a 4-2 victory over Middleborough/Carver/Wareham on Thursday morning at the Bridgewater Ice Arena. Bishop Stang (14-3-3) came into this match after going winless in its last two games, with a tie against Tri-County on Tuesday and an overtime loss against Boston Latin on Saturday. Middleboro (14-5-1) earned a bounce-back victory over Taunton on Wednesday after losing to the Tigers in the Battle of Bristol on Monday. “We played really well in the first period, we really outskated them, and then in the second we stopped skating,” Stang coach Ken Gouveia…
As teams reported for spring training, the injury news around the league came in fast and furiously last week. From pitchers who dealt with arm injuries in 2025 and did not have them repaired in the offseason — like Pablo Lopez, Blake Snell, Shane Bieber, and Josh Hader, being eased into the preseason — to a trio of hitters in Corbin Carroll, Francisco Lindor, and Jackson Holliday needing surgery on their hamate bones. Anthony Santander missed over four months a year ago and is just now getting surgery on his shoulder, likely to miss most of 2026 as well. Blue…

Expectations have been significantly raised for the Patriots in 2026. In Year 1 under new head coach Mike Vrabel, the Patriots went 14-3 during the regular season and unexpectedly made the Super Bowl after finishing 4-13 in consecutive seasons. Now it’s about figuring out how to get back to the Super Bowl and win it all. Vrabel and top front-office executives Eliot Wolf, Ryan Cowden and John Streicher have over $40 million in cap space (with other means to free up more) and 11 selections in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Herald is publishing a daily series with five offseason…
The Boston Red Sox infield will look much different in 2026. Veteran third baseman Alex Bregman was a one-and-done in Boston as he left for the Chicago Cubs in free agency. He’ll likely be replaced at the hot corner by either Marcelo Mayer or newcomer Caleb Durbin. First baseman Willson Contreras and utility man Isiah Kiner-Falefa have also entered the equation. The Red Sox traded for Contreras to address their need for a right-handed bat, and later signed Kiner-Falefa as a versatile infield depth option. Boston will need its infield defense to improve next season, because the revamped starting rotation…
