The boy’s hockey season continues to skate on and here are five interesting notes you should be aware of:

1. BC High Eagles continue to soar -- The Eagles kept their undefeated streak alive Wednesday night when they dominated the ice against St. John’s Prep. While the undefeated streak is not all victories at 6-0-2, beating a team that just knocked off Malden Catholic last Saturday is another impressive notch in the Eagles’ belt. This is a team that doesn’t have a tendency to dominate on the scoreboard but understands how to come away with victories and ties. There’s a reason why BC High tops the Globe Top 20 boy’s hockey rankings and the team is showing no signs of letting that ranking go.

2. Beverly lighting up scoreboards -- One team that knows how to keep a scorekeeper busy is Beverly. The Panthers have scored 38 goals in eight games this season while surrendering just six. The closest games head coach Bob Gilligan’s team has seen so far were three-goal victories over Triton and Marblehead. Beverly has been dominating every opponent the team has played so far but I’m wondering if that will be the case Jan. 15 on the road against Newburyport. The Clippers were impressive last Saturday in their 1-1 draw with Franklin and defeated North Reading 4-0 their next time out. If you can handle the bone-chilling temperatures of the Henry Graf Skating Rink in Newburyport, I highly suggest checking out this upcoming contest.

3. Keep your eye on Newburyport -- Speaking of the Clippers, there was a lot to like about that aforementioned 1-1 draw. The team controlled the puck for two periods against two-time South champion Franklin and really should have one that contest. The team responded the way any quality one should after missing out on a victory by shutting out North Reading on Jan. 7. Head coach Paul Yameen noted that the team is hoping to move to Division I next season. If that is the goal for Newburyport, then Division I teams might want to keep notice of this solid Cape Ann League team.

4. Tough scheduling this week for St. John’s Prep -- The St. John’s Prep Eagles became the first Massachusetts team to defeat Malden Catholic in almost two years in their 3-2 victory Jan. 5. Just four days later, they had to take on Globe No. 1 BC High and, to paraphrase coach Kristian Hanson, didn’t even look like they came off the bus. The Eagles now find themselves preparing to take on a downright dangerous Catholic Memorial team this Saturday. By the end of this week, the Eagles will have played the Globe’s Nos. 1, 2 and 6 ranked teams. I guess that’s just the fun of playing in the Catholic Conference.

5. Catholic Memorial’s return to dominance -- Speaking of the Knights, the longtime Super 8 powerhouse has been on a comeback tour this season. After a disappointing stretch, this 2012-13 squad has been just blowing away its competition. Head coach Bill Hanson’s team currently sits at 8-1 on the year. In two games during the Silverback Hockey Classic, the Knights have recorded a combined 17 goals. That same number is the total amount the team’s nine opponents have been able to record this season. If you haven’t purchased a ticket to see this comeback tour, I strongly advise you do so as soon as possible.
