Sometimes, when an open path to the net presents itself, it can be tempting to dart down the middle and launch the first available shot.

Ever since Addi St. Jean was little, she and her father, Brian St. Jean, knew they wanted to eventually run the Boston Marathon together.

Midway through the third quarter Wednesday, after dictating the bulk of the action to that point, the Dragons suddenly found themselves knotted at 1 with rival Marshfield.
