Bantam AAA's Punch their Ticket to the Massachusetts State Tournament!!!

Congratulations to the Bantam AAA team on winning the District 9 Championship and qualifying for the 2024-2025 Massachusetts State Tournament!!  After defeating Belmont 12-2 in the District 9 semifinal, Arlington won a hard fought game against a tenacious Lexington-Bedford team, 8-3.  The game was much closer than the score indicated, and after Arlington went out early 2-0 in the first period, Lexington came back to tie the game 2-2 in the second period.  Arlington then exploded for five straight goals in the second period, including two on the same shift.  The teams traded goals in the third period, to end the game 8 - 3.  For the 2010 players on the Arlington team, this is their fourth consecutive trip to the State Tournament, where they'll try to defend their last two consecutive State Championships.

The 2024-2025 State Tournament will be held March 21 - 23 at the New England Sports Center.
