SACO — It might take a special factor for the Thornton Academy boys hockey team to defeat Biddeford tonight in the Western Class A final.
And it’s a factor the Golden Trojans own over the Tigers.
Special Teams.
The Trojans are the top team in Western Class A Tier 1 in both power play percentage (32 percent) and penalty killing (90 percent).
BIDDEFORD — The last name ”“ which rendered into French means “King” ”“ is the same.
So, too, is their common kingdom, situated between the pipes.
Now, if Biddeford goalie Matt Roy can win championships the way his namesake and idol Patrick Roy did, he would be a very happy young man.
Roy has a chance to help his Tiger teammates work closer to that goal, tonight, when Biddeford meets arch-rival Thornton Academy for the Western Maine Class-A championship at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston.
