Bishop Feehan came back from three goals down to tie the Bombardiers in the season opener for both teams.

Senior captain Nick Carvalho scored with only 5:09 left on the clock to earn both teams a point in their opening games of the season. Shamrocks coach Phil Hulbig was disappointed with how the team fell behind, but satisfied with the team’s fight to get back into the game. “Power play wasn’t getting the job done early and we had some opportunities and then Attleboro comes down the ice and, you know, they make you pay for those little mistakes," Hulbig said. "The kids didn’t quit. They came out in the third period fired up …
