FORECASTING THE SUPER 8

Wilmington, MA - 02/16/13 - Reading head coach Mark Doherty, at left. Reading-Wilmington boys matchup for North Week high school hockey feature. - (Barry Chin/Globe Staff), Section: North Week, Reporter: Patrick Bradley, Topic: 21nohockey, LOID: 5.1.697791175.

No. 5 Reading (16-1-5)

Star player: Senior Rob Devaney—The Rockets put plenty of goals on the board with 82 in the regular season and a big help in that regard was Devaney. He had six goals and five assists in the season already by Jan. 13.

Starting goalie: Senior Evan Morelli – Morelli is a co-captain for a reason, he’s one of the lifebloods of the Rockets’ team and the experience he brings will come in handy for Reading.

Prediction: Reading finds itself in a matchup that should work out in its favor in the first round against Austin Prep. The Rockets should pull out that victory and are the best chance for a team without the word “Catholic” in its name to win the tournament.
