Good morning, Hopkinton! Welcome to the daily update we call Hopkinton Today — a quick recap of yesterday’s news, highlights of what’s on tap, and a video or two to brighten your morning.

Hopkinton native Sean Farrell was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the fourth round of the National Hockey League draft on Wednesday. A 5-foot-9, 175-pound forward, Farrell, now a freshman at Harvard, was ranked 62nd among North American skaters in the final 2020 NHL Draft prospect rankings.

According to the Hopkinton Fire Department, there were dozens of incidents involving damage to poles, trees and wires in town following Wednesday evening’s storm, and residents were requested to “stay off the road if you can.”

The town’s latest COVID-19 update includes information on Town Hall. the Hopkinton Public Library, the Senior Center and the transition to Step 2 of Phase 3 of the state’s reopening plan.

The Parks & Recreation Commission meets tonight (7).
