About:
BEVERLY — For the opening faceoff Saturday night, both the Danvers and Gloucester boys hockey teams willingly put only four skaters on the ice plus their goaltenders for the first eight seconds of action. They did so to honor the late J.J. Rosato, a hockey loving youngster from Danvers who would’ve been a sophomore on this year’s team.
Wearing specially made uniforms, senior captains Trevor McNeill and Bobby Joyce skated a lap around the ice in a pregame ceremony with a ‘Rosato 91’ Danvers sweater before presenting it to Rosato’s parents, Chelsea and Jim (a former DHS player). It was a touching, powerful moment that had fans from both sides cheering heartily.
