Forget Detroit, Hingham is Hockeytown USA

That's right. How can you slice it down any other way? Hingham is unlike any other public high school in New England and possibly the entire country when it comes to the puck. Three championships in four years now for the town, two for the girls (2008, 2011) and one for the bros (2010). We don't need to go out and recruit players from across the state like CM or St. John's Prep or St. Mary's. Just 100% pure Hingham's very finest.

The boys have missed the Super 8 just once since moving up to the elite ranks of D-1A in 2002 (which was one year after they won the Division 1 crown) , with the highlight being that 2010 Championship.

The girls similarly moved up a level after winning their championship in 2008, and it took them just three years to climb to the top of the higher ground.

Despite the fact that CM finished the year below .500, Harry Potter and his team still got written about on ESPNBoston.com. Bogus. But hey, Hingham will always get the respect they deserve on the Experience. Congrats Harborwomen on another State title.
