🚨🚨DT's magical season ends in the Elite 8🚨🚨
By all accounts, this season could be called magical or storybook in many ways.
It's hard at times, but in every contest somebody has to win and somebody has to lose and as tuff as it was last night, the 2026 DT teams season closed out in the Elite 8 against a very talented #3 seed in Medfield. We wish them well in the Final 4!
After losing major fire power from the previous season, 2026 looked to be a rebuild and see what happens type of season. That changed early on. You could feel it with this amazing group of kids.
When you see three freshman in, #9-Nate Purtell, #14-Jake Vigeant and #31-Greyson Blakley stepping into starting roles, key game situations and logging major minutes for 23 games, you can start to look back and see how special the 2026 season was for DT hockey.......the players, fans and coaches.
Coming out of the gate, 8-1-1 and outscoring opponents 41-12 in those first 10 contests showed the coaches and the league that DT was going to be a contender this year.
The second half of the season was even more impressive as DT went on a 12 game win streak and amazing offensive play led by Senior Captains #12-Charlie Wilkie & #13-Brenden Modeski.
The D core logged major minutes all year and helped star goaltender #31-Blakley have a GAA under 1.00 for the season in 22 starts. #9-Nate Purtell, #17-Chad Vigeant, #3-Ben Haubner, and #24-Jake Meeker.............held the blue line down all season.
There were plenty of moments and photos that captured the essence of the best single season record in program history at 19-2-2 overall, #12-Wilkie hitting the 100 point mark and Coach DuRoss and his staff hitting 100 wins in their 10 year history.
The league took notice.............
DT is proud to announce league awards for their players and coach DuRoss.
