Welcome to 103hockey.com!

Hyde Park, MA- Local 103 Hockey is happy to announce that the Journeyman Hour is starting this coming week.   After having our ice time taken away by South Boston Youth Hockey, Brad Vinton went to work.  The end result was 103 Hockey's return to the Alexander Bajko Rink.  Team 103 has been at Bajko for the past Four seasons and is happy for the return. 

Beginning This Monday (Oct.20th), practice will be on Monday Afternoons from 4:00-5:00.  The cost per player will depend on the number of participants.  All members of Local 103 (Including Apprentices) are welcome to attend.

The Alexander Bajko Memorial Rink is located on the Turtle Pond Parkway in Hyde Park MA.

South Boston, MA- Local 103 Hockey regrets to announce the cancellation of our weekly Journeyman Pick-Up Hour.  The hour was to be every Wedensday, from 4:00PM - 5:00PM at the Castle Island Rink in South Boston.  The hour was taken from us when South Boston Youth Hockey complained to the DCR that they had priority over an Adult group.  We would like to thank Dorchester Youth Hockey for trying their best to help us find ice time in the past, as well as their help with the Liberty Cup Hockey Classic. 

As of Today, we have very little information on when, or if, we will be skating this Winter.  Stay tuned to local103hockey.com for all updates.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Quincy, Ma- Billy Coughlin scored three times last night, powering Local 103 to a 7-3 win over the Boston River Rats. The two teams played to a 1-1 tie in the first period, but that's as close as the Rats would get.  The Bolted B's would score three times in the second to take a commanding 4-1 lead.  The first of the three Coughlin strikes were accompanied by Derek Burke's second of the night and Shayne Dacko's first goal of the season. 

Coughlin scored two more times in the third period to complete his second Hat-Trick in as many games.  He now has six goals on the season. (6-3-9 totals)  The night's scoring was completed with a Bobby Spinale goal at 14:05 of the third.  The goal was tapped in after Dacko hustled down the right wing side and alertly dropped a perfect pass to the open winger.

Steve MacPherson played well in goal, winning his second game of the year. (2-0, 2.50 G.A.A.)

The team is off until Oct.17th, when they play a "West Coast" (10:40 PM) Game at Canton SportsPlex.  The opponent on that night will be Everett's Auto Parts, who beat Local 103 in two of the three meetings last season. 

Canton, MA- Local 103 Hockey opened up the 2008-09 campaign last night with an ugly win.  In fact, the only thing uglier than the win was the two opponents on the SportPlex ice.  Local 103, playing with only seven players spent most of the night trying to avoid the spinning propellers of the KPMG White Hellicopters.  The out-of breath 'Bolted B's' and the out of sorts KPMG Team were brutal to watch.  Although the final score was 7-2, the game was played mostly in the neutral zone; with broken passes and broken plays ruling the day.

Bright spots of the night were Billy Coughlin and Russ Vicente.  The Coughlin Hat-Trick and Vicente's pair of goals made the difference. The difference between an opening-night win and a demoralizing loss.  Mike Natale and Jon Fortier each added goals as well, while Bobby Spinale had a pair of assists.Also playing well were the KPMG goaltender and 103 Backstop Steve MacPherson.  The two traded big stops all night long.

Team 103 is off until next Friday when they face the Boston River Rats at Quincy Youth Arena.  Good seats are still available. Game time is at 9:30 PM.

Quincy, MA- Local 103 Hockey has announced that the team has signed Steve MacPherson to a one-year contract. The veteren goaltender last suited up for the Black & Gold during the 2006-2007 season.  He played great in the Post-Season, leading the team to It's fourth NESHL Championship.  In keeping with club policy, details of the deal were not disclosed. 

When G.M. Bobby Spinale was asked about the return of the erstwhile netminder, he replied. "Stevie was a huge asset to us two seasons ago.  We went on that run and he was a huge part of it.  It's gonna be great to have him back."

Steve MacPherson was not available for comment yesterday.

Easton, Ma- 103 Hockey held It's Fourth Annual Golf Outing on Saturday, Sept. 13th at the Easton Country Club.  The weather held up and everyone had a great time!  Mark Reagan's team finished first with a score of minus eleven.

Mike Hagerty had the longest drive on the 18th hole, while Chris Gracia and Mike Delano won the closest to the pins.

We'd like to send a special thank you out to Easton C.C. and the Lombardi Family.  As always, they were gracious hosts and we look foreward to coming back next year!

Dorchester, MA- Local 103 is hosting it's Annual Retirement Dinner tomorrow night at Freeport Hall.  For many it is the culmination of decades worth of hard work.  It is a night to honor the men and women who have paved the way for our wages, benefits, and working conditions.  Tomorrow evening Jim "Soup" Campbell will be one of the honorees.  Soup has been a member of Local 103 for more than Forty Years and has dedicated much of that time to the building of our proud hockey program.

Although the team is sad to see the passing of the torch, we know that this is not the end.  Soup will remain with the team as a punching bag during practice.  He will also serve as the team "Sucker"; bringing beer and cheer to our home games during the 2008-09 campaign.

As we wish Good Luck to all of our retirees tomorrow night, we would like to take the opportunity to make special mention of OUR #49! May you have many years of good health and prosperity!
