A week and a couple hours ago, some of the Fed’s best seniors took the ice at First Niagara Center. For some of them, they’d never touch the ice again. For others, it was just another hockey game on the way to bigger and better things. But for all of them, it was the last time they’d play in a …
Will South junior’s first Fed goal difference in playoff win
Brady Homberger’s hard work often goes unnoticed. The Williamsville South junior defenseman’s first varsity goal on Thursday night changed that.
