The clock is ticking down on the New England boys prep regular season.
It was a big week across the landscape. There were some high point totals, including one player who had a six-goal game, which is completely bonkers.
Even with the high rate of goals, a handful of goalies stood out. Only one team dominated its conference, taking home both Top Skater and Top Goalie.
Let's dive in.
