JIM’S VIEW: Hockey Plays D2 Squad Dover-Sherborn/Weston Tough in Regular Season Finale

By |

Watertown/Wayland’s 2026 regular season came to a close Wednesday with a non-league contest versus Dover-Sherborn/Weston(DSW). The game also served as Senior Night as six young men were recognized before the game for their contribution to the program. Once the game began, one and all were treated to an entertaining affair that saw the Raiders (DSW are the Raiders as well, but for this article, only Watertown is the Raiders) take the early lead and once again play a bigger, stronger, faster team (and D2 as well) pretty evenly. It was a 2-1 game DSW late into the second period, but a DSW goal with 30 seconds remaining made it 3-1 after two. That score swelled to 6-2 DSW by game’s-end, but the Raiders kept competing right up to the final whistle.

Entertainment

WEEKEND FUN: 2 Concerts, Canvas & Karaoke, Rock Climbing & an Animated Movie

By |

I suggest you start the weekend at Nzuko restaurant where on Fridays they hold a Canvas & Karaoke night. You can sing, then paint or paint then sing, either way a fun combination for the beginning of your weekend. Saturday night there are two rock bands playing at the Canadian American Club. I love the name, Lazy Boy Rockers, don’t you? I have two suggestions for your kids at the end of their school vacation week. How about taking them to a Kid’s Clip and Climb at Central Rock Gym? It’s offered on Saturday and Sunday at two midday times. Reserve them a spot soon! There are some fun PG movies for the kiddos this weekend, including “Goat,” an animated film about a basketball playing goat. Back to adult fun, on Sunday afternoon at the Mosesian, Edwin O. Munera is going to be playing classical guitar, including numerous original pieces that were inspired by various cultures around the world. There is plenty of fun to be had in town this weekend for the adults and the kids in the household.
