Page 10 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, February 21, 2020 Everett Tide hockey team is playoff bound By Greg Phipps F or the first time in five years, the Everett High School hockey team is making an appearance in the postseason. The Crimson Tide defeated Minuteman 7-4 for its 12th win of the season last week and then went down to defeat against a charged-up Norton squad last Saturday at Allied Veterans Memorial Rink. Now playoff bound, the Tide stood at 12-5-1 entering this week’s action. They were scheduled to host the James F. Mulloy Tournament on Monday and Wednesday of this week, and then await to find out their postseason seeding. Everett, which has five players from Mystic Valley Regional Charter School on its roster, has just one senior on this year’s squad.

In last Saturday’s game, the Tide fell behind 2-0 early and closed the gap to 2-1 before Norton tallied before the end of the period to enter the first intermission ahead 3-1.
