The Triton hockey team's undefeated start entering this week's Exeter Tournament can be best explained with the old hockey cliche, "You're only as good as your goalie."

Legendary net-minders like Ken Dryden, Patrick Roy, and Martin Brodeur proved that theory on the NHL level, carrying their respective teams to more than a few Stanley Cup titles.

Behind the hot goaltending of Justin Joslin and a devastating second period in which Triton outscored North Andover, 4-0, the Vikings beat the Scarlet Knights, 7-1, on Saturday night at the Graf Rink.

**Coach: Kevin Dodier (first year)

**Last season: 11-5-5

**Key players: Cam Robinson, sr.; Justin Joslin, sr.; Bryce Linehan, sr.; Chris LeSage, sr.; Paul Bishop, sr.; Craig White, jr.

**Newcomers: Carl Robinson, so.; Keegan Hawes, so.; Brandon Middleton, so.

The Triton administration has had no problem finding hockey coaches over the last four years.

Retaining them that has been the issue.

Amesbury High alumnus Kevin Dodier was recently hired to be the Triton hockey team's fourth head coach in the last four years. He will take over a squad that went 11-5-5 last season under coach Drew Wile, who was fired after one year on the job.
