Hockey season already?

Yes, one day after the winter sports season culminated with the high school football Super Bowls (some of which are still scheduled today at Worcester State College), the high school hockey season drops the puck at the Reagan Hockey Summit at the New England Sports Center in Marlborough.

From today's Globe:

Starting at 11 a.m., roughly 1,200 players from 62 boys' and girls' teams from across the state will be lacing up their skates and taking to the ice on one of the five sheets at New England Sports Center. The teams will arrive in at least 40 buses, equipped with 1,200 hockey bags, and 2,400 sticks.
Duxbury High and St. John's Prep will square off at 11:40. Nearly eight hours later, Billerica and Walpole will play the final "minigame" (two 12-minute periods) of what promises to be an exciting showcase for high school hockey in the state.

Players and coaches will also participate in educational workshops and seminars, along with a midday stadium-style presentation in the 2,000-seat Rink 1, with the featured speakers including Boston Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli, Boston College men's and women's coaches Jerry York and Katie King, respectively, and Babson College men's coach Jamie Rice.

For a complete list of today's games, check out the pairings.
