HHS Sports Roundup: Boys hockey falls; cheer team advances to states

by | Mar 2, 2026 | Featured: Sports, Sports

The Hopkinton High School boys hockey team hung with Canton for two periods before watching the Division 2 state tournament’s top seed pull away for a 5-0 decision Monday night at Canton Ice House.

After a scoreless first period, Canton (21-1) broke through just 26 seconds into the second on a shot from the right side that found the back of the net. While Hopkinton struggled to find any offense, Canton hit pay dirt three more times in the final period.

Hopkinton, the 16th seed, ends its season at 13-8-1.

Cheer team on to states

The HHS cheer team finished second at the MSAA Division 1 South regional championship Sunday at Scituate High School.

The Hillers finished with a final score of 78.9 to take the runner-up spot behind Attleboro.

Coach Ally Link shared that this marks the first time in 11 years Hopkinton returned home from regionals with a trophy, and it results in an automatic qualification to next Sunday’s state championship competition at Worcester State University.
