Two of the Tide’s wins came by double digits against Revere and Medford, and the other was a close 61-57 triumph over Belmont. Everett resumes its season this Friday when it hosts Lynn Classical (scheduled 7 p.m. start) and then travels to Malden for a game on Tuesday (scheduled 6 p.m. start). Tide hockey splits at holiday tournament After losing to Watertown in the opening round of last weekend’s Christmas tournament, the Everett hockey team rebounded by scoring a victory by the exact same margin in the consolation matchup against Nashoba. Losing 6-0 in the opener, Everett turned the tide by blanking Nashoba by six goals the following day. A large bulk of the Crimson Tide scoring came from Brendan Currie, who tallied five times. David Saia added three assists and D.J. Schovanec earned the shutout in goal. Watertown took home this year’s tourney trophy with a 3-0 triumph over Northeast Metro Tech in the championship final. Everett’s record stood at 4-3 overall entering this week’s action. The Tide resumes play at Minuteman High School this Saturday.
