The Boston Gold Kings need to win one more game to capture the PPSHL Championship after beating the Salem Sasquatch 5-2 on Saturday.
The semi-pro team, which plays its home games at John A. Ryan Arena in Watertown, hosts game 2 of the finals against the Sasquatch on Saturday, March 29 at 8:10 p.m. If game 3 is necessary, the teams will play on April 5 at 7 p.m. in Salem, New Hampshire.
The Gold Kings finished the regular season in third place in the Power Play Senior Hockey League, with a record of 8-9-1. The team dropped the first game of the semifinal series to the No. 2 sed Holyoke Papermen on March 1, but the Papermen had to forfeit the game after it was discovered they used an ineligible player. The Gold Kings won game 2 5-3 at Ryan Arena on March 8.
Tickets for Saturday’s game cost $10 at the door or online. The game will also be streamed on Watertown Cable Access.
