NZ Notes: New Hampton looked sharp tonight, a few stand outs were ‘01 JR forward Ronny Paragallo, made good plays on the rush and shows good IQ. ‘01 Sr D Man Steven Ardagna, is a steady right shot on the blue line. For Andover, New-comer 01 Junior Drew Malatesta, plays a lot of minutes on the top line. ‘04 F William Hughes has a lot of upside with his size and skating ability. Phillips looks to get back on track tomorrow night vs Brewster Academy.
