LAKES REGION – While the season might not have ended the way they would have liked, the sen- ior class on the Belmont- Gilford hockey team can take solace in the fact that they were part of an out- standing multi-year run for the program. “We’re losing four sen- iors and they did a lot dur- ing their time here,” said B-G coach Jay Londer, who completed his second sea- son as head coach. “You can’t replace those guys but they were part of the building of the program and I got two years to coach them.” Seniors Norm Harris, Connor Hillsgrove, Evan Karagianis and Eric Dow were all key cogs in the B- JEFF LAJOIE G lineup, as Karagianis Junior Riley Tebbetts (left) and sophomore Jeremy D’Amour are two players to look out for next winter for the handled captain duties Belmont-Gilford hockey team. while Harris, Hillsgrove and Dow anchored a stout coming into the year. and now we’re becoming a but we knew we weren’t JEFF LAJOIE defensive unit that allowed “Coming in, we weren’t power,” he said. “Things out of it.” BG senior Norm Harris lets a wrist shot loose from the point during a just 2.61 goals per game. supposed to be a good de- got a lot more serious the Hillsgrove agreed.
