Congratulations to the following teams on their successful runs in Marlborough …

In addition to the Lions' play at the Challenge Cup, many of the players and their families took a trip into Boston Saturday night to Agganis Arena to take in an NCAA Division I college game between the Boston University Terriers and the Arizona State Sun Devils. A great time was had by all, despite the home team being shut out 3-0 by the visiting Sun Devils. Some of Nassau's players had the opportunity to take a tour of Agganis Arena, and some had the chance of a lifetime and met NHL Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux who was on hand as a hockey parent watching his son Austin Lemieux play for Arizona State.
