Here's
a "Nifty" idea: Imagine what it would be like if a
three-time NHL All-Star and future Hall of Famer was your
high school hockey coach. That would be something, wouldn't
it? To be fair, members of the Portsmouth High hockey team
don't need to participate in this exercise. That's because
it's actually happening to them.
If the
nickname "Nifty" wasn't a dead giveaway, we'll clue you in
that the new assistant coach of the Clippers is none other
than former Boston Bruins captain Rick Middleton.
Understatement alert: The last few years haven't been kind
to the Portsmouth High School ice hockey program. They were
1-17 last season, 3-12-1 the year before, and, well, that's
just how it's been for the Clippers the past couple of
seasons.

Big third period lifts Clippers
|
|
EXETER — The two-goal lead the Portsmouth High School hockey team had in
Wednesday's game against Pembroke Academy evaporated due to a lackluster
second period by the Clippers.
The last-place Spartans scored three goals in the second period and tied
the game entering the third. Portsmouth came out of the locker room
after the second intermission and swatted away Pembroke's upset bid by
scoring four goals in the final period for a 7-3 Division III victory at
The Rinks at Exeter.

From Fosters.com |
LACONIA — The Portsmouth High
School hockey team came out strong from the start and got solid play
from its goalie during Saturday's Division III game in Laconia. It
all added up to a 7-1 win over the combined team from Moultonborough
Academy and Inter-Lakes, nickenamed the "MAILers."
The Clippers jumped out to an early 3-0 score against the MAILers,
as they dominated the game in every way.

Portsmouth hockey fit to be
tied |
|
From Fosters.com |
LACONIA — Rick
Middleton considered pulling goalie John O'Keefe for an extra
attacker as his Portsmouth High School team battled for an equalizer
late in the third period Wednesday. There was 1:03 left when forward
Jack Williamson made the decision for him.
Williamson stuffed a weak-post rebound off Travis Nevins' initial
drive to force overtime, and the Clippers salvaged a 2-2 tie with
Belmont/Gilford Wednesday in their Division III hockey game at the
Laconia Ice Arena. Williamson finished with two goals and Portsmouth
twice recovered from single-goal deficits to move to 4-3-1 on the
season.

Penalties kill Clippers in final frame |
EXETER — In his first year coaching the Portsmouth High
School hockey team, Al Brandano has been thrilled with the
strides the Clippers have made. There is one thing in
particular, however, Brandano would like to improve quickly
and that is "mental discipline."
Brandano referenced the second period of Saturday night's
game against Souhegan as evidence. Down 3-2 with five
minutes left in the period, the Clippers were threatening to
tie the game before being called for three penalties,
including a 10-minute misconduct. Portsmouth was called for
one more in the third and couldn't take advantage of four
power-play opportunities in losing the Division III game,
4-2, inside The Rinks at Exeter

Saying Thank You with the Pease
Greeters |
Just before Christmas, the varsity team
traveled over to the Pease Tradeport and showed the spirit of Portsmouth
as they said goodbye to a group of members of the uniformed services who
were on their way to the Middle East. It was a very moving
ceremony that showed the team what courage and dedication were all
about. Many of the young men and women who were headed overseas
were very moved by the farewell that they received from the team and the
hundreds of other proud Americans.
