In a back and forth game, the Deerfield Boys’ Varsity Ice Hockey team beat Loomis Chaffee 5-4 in overtime on the road. The Big Green scored first when Lukas Machan ’26 finished at the net front off a pass from Alex Strug ’28. Loomis answered with a goal of their own. Deerfield then scored a power play goal from Matteo Alvarez ’26 with an assist to Mike McGrath ’26. That was all the scoring in the first period, but then Loomis answered early in the second with a goal of their own. The Big Green retook the lead when Alvarez scored his second of the night in the waning minutes of the second period. However, in the third, Loomis answered with a goal of their own. Deerfield retook the lead again when Strug finished off a nice pass from Colton Simas ’28. Loomis answered with a goal of their own to force overtime. In that fourth and final frame, Deerfield earned a power play. Harry Holland ’27 passed from the top of the umbrella over to Alvarez on the right flank, and he slid the puck through the Loomis penalty kill to Machan. Machan beat their goalie with a shot to the far post to secure the overtime win. Elliott Lennon ’26 was stellar in net, earning the win. The Big Green are back in action on Friday night at Cushing.
