Earlier this month, JebBrunt and his high schoolbroadcast journalism stu-dents made history whenthey won the school’s firstever Broadcast PacemakerAward.

Given every year since1927, the Pacemaker is thepremier national accoladefor student journalism.

After four consecutiveyears of applying for theaward, Norwood HighSchool Television (NHS-TV) was nominated and sub-sequently chosen as a win-

ner by the National Scholas-tic Press Association (NSPA).

“We were so proud thatthey recognized us, it was notexpected,” said Brunt.

He said this year’s entryincluded the top two editionsof Mustang Magazine, thestation’s student-run monthlynews program.

“The show has been run-ning strong for four years,”said Brunt. “The episodes fea-ture segments about academ-ics, arts, athletics and activi-ties going on in and aroundNorwood High School andfeature profiles on interestingpeople in the community.”

From the original nation-

wide group of 300 highschools who applied for theaward, Norwood was one ofonly six schools to receivea Pacemaker.

Brunt said just beingnominated is an accom-plishment in its own right.

He had taught in Floridafor 15 years before comingto Norwood and was veryfamiliar with the Pacemakerapplication process.

“I knew how hard itwould be,” said Brunt. “Wehad been nominated ninetimes and won it once inFlorida.”

The State Department ofHousing and Community De-velopment (DHCD), in itsDec. 8 decision, found thatthe town failed by 0.03 per-cent, or 1.85 acres, to meetthe 1.5 percent threshold forexclusion from 40B regula-tions, thereby allowing the3oo units proposed by theDavis Marcus partnership atForbes Hill to move forward.

40B regulations allow adeveloper to skirt local zon-ing laws if a town is foundnot to have at least 1.5 per-

cent of its developable landdedicated to affordable hous-ing, or at least 10 percent ofits housing stock within theaffordability threshold.

The DCHD found vari-ances of 0.68 acres at UplandWoods, 0.27 acres at 18Clapboardtree St. and 0.9acres at Olde Derby Village,leaving Norwood short of itsproclaimed assessment of1.51 percent of land dedi-cated to affordable housing,about 1.85 acres.

Before the end of the fiscalyear, the town’s Treasurer’sOffice will have more than ex-hausted the funding on four ofits current budget line items,which would open a deficit of$34,990.

Treasurer Robert Marshsaid that between April andJune of 2017, he expects thatadditional funding would beneeded to cover staffing/pay-roll, fees from Century Bank,ambulance collection fees andfees associated with the town’s$42 million bond offering.

Regarding staffing/payroll,Marsh said he is currently pro-jecting a $15,340 overage re-sulting from “changes in staff-ing and temporary help.”

During the Dec. 13 Boardof Selectmen meeting, Marshsaid $490,803 was allocated tohis office for salaries. How-ever, he has predicted thatnumber could swell to$506,143 before the end of thecurrent fiscal year.

Marsh also said $19,900was allocated to cover feesfrom Century Bank. However,he said those fees could esca-late to $24,000 and create agap of $4,100.

Marsh said that lower cash

balances have triggered morefees and caused interest in-come to be lower than whatwas originally anticipated.

“I’m not sure we’ll make itto the end of the year,” he said,adding that 65 percent of thetown’s money is with Century.

Selectmen Helen Abdullah-Donohue and William Plaskoasked if it would be possibleto switch to a bank that haslower fees.

However, Marsh said Cen-tury has not been the problem,as the bank’s fees have re-mained fairly consistent.

“It’s our balance that’s low,it’s really a juggling act,” hesaid.

Marsh also said he under-stood the logic behindCentury’s fee structure.

“They do a tremendousamount of work, it’s amazingif you go see it,” he said.

Speaking on the third item,Marsh said an additional$2,800 was incurred when anoutside consulting firm washired to advise town officialsabout the $42 million bond thatwas offered in July.

Lastly, Marsh said he ex-pects an overage of $12,750for ambulance fees resultingfrom changing vendors.

He said $49,250 was ini-tially allocated by Town Meet-

ing to absorb the ambulancefees. However, Marsh said henow expects that number tospike to $62,000.

In response, Plasko sug-gested to Marsh that he seekadvice from the Finance Com-mission and to make that boardaware that supplemental fund-

NORWOODRESIDENTS

The film took a look back in time in Norwood's storied hockey past, looking at players, coaches and teamsthroughout the movie.

PHOTO BY JAKE LEVIN

Over 18 months of prepa-ration has yielded BannerYears: The Hockey Movie,which debuted last Saturdaynight at Norwood Theater.

Executive producers JerryKelleher and Brendan King’ssecond production togetherfollowing Norwood Arena:The Movie in 2014 premieredbefore a full house, featuringboth local and nationally re-nowned celebrities.

“It was a great experiencegoing around and seeing allthese guys,” Kelleher said af-ter the airing.

Mike Milbury, a WalpoleHigh graduate, former Bruinsplayer and coach and currentNBC Sports Network analyst,was in attendance, as were lo-cal heroes such as MattBrown and recently-retiredNorwood boys hockey coachBill Clifford.

The movie blended highschool and professionalhockey in the 1960s and ‘70sin the area, culminating withNorwood’s win over Arling-ton in the 1972 State Cham-pionship game.

Clifford had an assist onthe game-winning goal for the

Mustangs, which was scoredby Brendan King’s cousin,Eddie.

“That was a long timeago,” Clifford laughed.

Narrators for the film in-cluded former New EnglandPatriots play-by-play voiceGil Santos, former BostonBruins play-by-play voiceFred Cusick (through ar-chives), and current-leadNBC hockey play-by-playman Mike “Doc” Emerick.

The film is rich on nos-talgia, not to be confusedwith a history lesson or a sta-tistical analysis.

Numerous interviews areconducted with both highschool and professional play-ers of the era, with sentimen-tality oozing through thescreen.

“The biggest surprise forme was the depth of feelingthese people have for thatera,” Kelleher said. “It reallycomes through, the bond ofhockey. Lifelong friends,they stick up for each other.They come through whensomebody goes down, likewith Matt [Brown] – the Bru-ins and the hockey commu-nity came up big for him.”

NORWOOD BOS DO NOT WANT RETAILMARIJUANA STORES

To the Editor:As you probably know, our state voted for

recreational marijuana on Nov. 8. Norwoodvoted no on this question. At our meeting thenext Tuesday, Nov. 15, your Board of Select-men voted 5-0 to have a ballot question on ourannual election on Monday, April 3, 2017.

Our attorneys are working on the wordingof this question so it will be legal. If you voteNO on this question we will not have any retailmarijuana stores in Norwood. The legislationon recreational marijuana allows cities andtowns to opt out of having retail marijuanastores by having a ballot question at a local elec-tion, and that is what we are doing. Some peopleseem to think we are not doing anything about

this. That is absolutely not true. We do not wantany retail pot stores in Norwood.

40B continued from page 1without considering the factsof the appeal.

“This state agency, theirmission in life is to build 40Bapartments anywhere theycan,” he said, adding that thethird appeal level would be to

take the matter to court.He said the Board of Se-

lectmen will be meeting inexecutive session on Dec. 16with Town Council BrendanMoss to discuss further strat-egy. Further appeals could bemade to either the Superior orLand courts.

If the town chooses not topursue further appeals on theForbes Hill project, this de-cision would have significantimpact on the PlimptonPress/Avalon Bay proposeddevelopment. Developers forthe former Plimpton Presssite are looking to build 218units under Chapter 40B.Originally, developers soughtapproval under a 40R appli-cation to build 238 units ofboth apartments and condo-miniums. However, thoughNorwood’s Town Meeting

voted 93-70 in support of theproject, the vote failed tomeet the 2/3 majority neededfor the zoning regulationchanges.

Both the Forbes Hill andAvalon Bay projects were

originally denied byNorwood’s Zoning Board ofAppeals based on the argu-ment that the town had metthe 1.5 percent land use re-quirement established by thestate. This latest decision bythe DCHD found the townfailed to establish this re-quirement.

Also, because Avalon Bay

received its project eligibil-ity letter from the Massachu-setts Housing Partnershipearlier this summer prior tothis DCHD decision, the 300units to be built by ForbesHill developers cannot beused to bolster Norwood’stotal should they try and stopAvalon Bay.

Initially, town officials re-quested that DHCD hold offon Avalon Bay unti l theForbes Hill decision wasmade, but that request wasdenied due to “the regula-tions have no such provisionand other mandatory time-frames,” according to Select-man Bill Plasko earlier thisyear.

“This state agency, their missionin life is to build 40B apartmentsanywhere they can.”

ing may be required earlier than expected.Marsh said he agreed with Plasko’s recommendation

and understood that the commission might not take im-mediate action.

“Even if they didn’t do it right away, it would at leastput them on notice,” said Marsh.

In other news, the board voted unanimously to ap-prove an application to transfer the liquor license for-merly held by Concannon’s Village Pub to Steven Yanoff,who will manage the new Paradise Biryani Pointe loca-tion at 1200 Boston Providence Turnpike.

Attorney Philip Mackey, counsel for Yanoff, assuredthe board that virtually no work is required at the newlocation.

“There is no construction that is necessary, the res-taurant is ready to go,” he said.

Chairman Allan Howard asked if the restaurant’s em-ployees would be ServSafe and TIPS certified.

Mackey said that process is currently underway andthat “everyone will” be certified by the time the restau-rant opens.

Howard also wanted to ensure that Yanoff understoodthe town’s strict regulations on alcohol consumption.

“The rules are very clear, people cannot be overserved and they have to show proper identification,” hesaid.

Yanoff said he understood and that he has prior ex-perience operating a restaurant with a liquor license.


This year’s entries wereevaluated by a three-judgepanel, which included Dr.Vincent Filak, a journalismprofessor at the University ofWisconsin—Oshkosh, SusanSmith, media advisor at SouthDakota State University andDr. Bradley Wilson, directorof student media at Midwest-ern State University.

By September, Brunt saidNHS-TV had been selected asa finalist. However, no onefrom Norwood was able totravel to Indianapolis for theNSPA’s Nov. 15 conventionwhen the Pacemaker winnerswere announced.

“We won it and didn’t evenknow it for like a week ortwo,” said Brunt, adding thatinitially he did not understandwhy his colleagues kept con-gratulating him.

However, Brunt said theaward was truly the result ofhis students’ relentless perse-verance.

“They’re doing real jour-nalism,” he said. “They get agrade, but they would all behere anyway.”

Senior Daniel French saidhe was thrilled to learn thatthe station had received aPacemaker.

“It’s one of the biggest ac-complishments that we could

Pacemaker Award continued from page 1have,” he said, adding thatthere has been a significantpush to bolster creativity inthe station’s programmingduring the past year.

Senior Brendan Hurleysaid the award is also a keyrésumé item.

“It’s amazing to put that onan application going into theindustry,” he said.

In addition to MustangMagazine, Brunt said NHS-TV also produces the NHSUpdate, Update AfterDark,the Ustangs Sports Blog andNHS-TV Films.

“The program has pickedup so much momentum, theNHS-TV program is robustand multifaceted,” said Brunt.

School Committee Mem-ber Patrick McDonough saidBrunt has strived not only tohave successful students, butsuccessful alumni as well.

“Mr. Brunt has taken thisprogram and ran with it, hekeeps improving year afteryear and allows our students towin the most prestigiousawards from all around thecountry,” said McDonough.“He has set the foundation forstudents in his class to go onto major news networks likeCNN and Fox. To have thisprogram in Norwood and tosee were the students go after

is something that makes me soproud.”

Assistant SuperintendentDr. Alec Wyeth also congratu-lated Brunt and his class on ajob well done.

“This highly competitiveaward is a testimony to all thehard work Jeb and his team oftalented students have doneover the last several years,” hesaid. “Norwood is now pro-ducing the next generation ofreporters who will strive to re-port with integrity on ourworld.”

Wyeth also toutedNorwood Public Access Televi-sion (NPA-TV) for its support ofNHS-TV.

“Congratulations, thanks andmuch credit must also go to NPA-TV for their material contribu-tions over the years thanks to thesupport of Dick Kief, who passedaway in 2012, and Jack Tolman,”he said. “Norwood’s TV studiois a state of the art facility thatour students use every day.”

Jack Tolman, executive di-rector of NPA-TV, said teachingstudents how to tell a story is aninvaluable skill.

“That’s what Jeb Brunt doesand that’s what he excels at,” saidTolman. “It shows me that thequality of the work done by thehigh school students here inNorwood can compete on thenational level.”

Former Bruins coach andNeedham High graduateRobbie Ftorek is featuredprominently in the film, as isMilbury and two otherformer Bruins, DerekSanderson and EddieJohnston.

Kelleher noted that thespotlight has long shone onthe “Big Bad Bruins” of thatera, featuring Bobby Orr andsome of the aforementionedplayers.

But the impact those Bru-ins teams, which won theStanley Cup in 1970 and1972, had on the Greater Bos-ton area had never truly beeninvestigated.

“There’ve been enoughstories about the ‘Big BadBruins,’ but not from the per-spective of how they inspiredall of these rinks to be builtand the high schools,”Kelleher said. “They said itright in the movie; they [thekids] wanted to be the nextBobby Orr or DerekSanderson.”

Banner Years continued from page 4plenty of face time in themovie. That includes HockeyEast commissioner JoeBertagna, an Arlington na-tive, who credits hockey withenabling the success he’s hadin life during the film.

Pond hockey is romanti-cized in an opening scene,hearkening back to the dayswhere people of all ageswould congregate down atthe local pond – such as SpyPond in Arlington, whichprovides Arlington High withits mascot (the Spy Ponders).

“It’s a slice of Ameri-cana,” Kelleher said.

Kelleher said he couldn’thave done it without King,whose business savvy en-abled the movie to become areality.

“We’re equals,” Kellehersaid. “I couldn’t have done itwithout him.”

DVDs for the film, whichwill include plenty of extras,go on sale tomorrow. Copieswill be available online, atBannerYearsMovie.com, aswell as local shops such asSpot on Nahatan Street. Thecost is $20.

Kelleher promises plenty

more surprises on the DVDthat were left on the cuttingroom floor for the theatricalrelease.

“This was perfect timing.The schoolboy season startedSaturday,” Kelleher said, jok-ing that “A hockey movie isno good in July, right?”

Two additional airings ofBanner Years will take placein Arlington this weekend atRegent Theater, on Saturdayat 8 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m.

So now that Banner Yearsis completed, what’s next forKelleher and King at 10thDistrict Studios?

“Right now, my wife putme on an electronic timeout.No computer,” Kelleher said,laughing, thanking his familyfor the countless late nightshe spent spinning BannerYears into a finished product.

Norwood High Schoolwrestlers hit the mat over theweekend, beginning their2016-17 season with a quadmeet a t Needham HighSchool featuring the Mus-tangs, Rockets, Boston Latinand Rockland.

Head coach Bi l lyMcDermott, back for hissecond year in his secondstint with Norwood, saw histeam fall in the three sepa-rate matches, but said he isalso very pleased with an in-crease in numbers on the ros-ter.

“Our main focus this sea-son is bringing more bodiesinto the room, which is al-ready proving to be posi-

tive,” McDermott said. “Ofthe 19 newcomers, 11 arefreshmen.”

The Mustangs match vs.Needham counted as an ex-hibition, which was won 36-15 sans forfeits by the Rock-ets.

Boston Latin defeatedNorwood 60-18, whi leRockland dispatched theMustangs 58-18.

“We’re a young team, butfacing challenges with integ-r i ty and posi t iv i ty,”McDermott said. “A solidcore, no doubt.”

Captains for this year’steam are DeVaughn Carterand David Benjamin, whowrestle in the 152 and 160-pound weight classes, re-spectively.

Norwood had to settle for a3-3 tie in its season opener vs.the Mansfield Hornets on Tues-day in Chuck Allen’s debut ashead coach.

For the Mustangs, who went0-19-1 last season, the point inthe opener represents many posi-tive signs for the team movingforward.

But Allen isn’t concernedwith the past, and believes histeam should have won the gameat Bajko.

“We should’ve won,” Allensaid after a game in whichNorwood never trailed. “It’s goodfor the kids to get a tie, theyplayed hard. A 3-3 game,Mansfield’s a decent team.

“It’s a learning experience forthese kids. I think believing theycould compete…they did a good

job tonight. Obviously we mademistakes – we all do – it’s justwhere you make them.”

Sophomore David Hayesopened scoring for the game withan unassisted goal at 2:16 of thefirst period.

The Mustangs doubled thatlead on junior Kyle McCue’s

tally at 6:34 of the second, butthe two-goal cushion was shortlived.

“2-0 is the worst lead inhockey, everyone knows that,”Allen said. “We had a turnoverin our defensive zone on a be-


Girls hockey readyto rock the rinks


In several facets, Norwood's girls hockey team got younger over the offseason. But several key returnees willsupplement a talented crop of underclassmen that just may be ready to return to the postseason. Above is afaceoff during a Norwood game vs. Weymouth from last winter. Below is starting goaltender Janelle Kelleher,whose presence should keep the Mustangs competitive in just about every game. PHOTOS BY JAKE LEVIN

On the surface, expecta-tions for a team coming offa 3-17-1 season and only onesenior on the roster may notseem very high.

Reading between thelines, however, there’s a tan-gible reason for optimismsurrounding the NorwoodHigh girls’ hockey team andits pursuit of returning to thepostseason after a one-yearabsence.

Eleven of the Mustangs’17 losses last season cameby two goals or less, a rathersignificant amount.

And while the record waswhat it was, Norwood actu-ally allowed fewer goals lastseason (76) than it did in2014-15 (79), when it was atournament team.

It’s a credit to goaltenderJanelle Kelleher, who’s backfor her third season as theMustangs goalie.

“Last year she faced a lotof shots,” Norwood headcoach Tim Coskren said.“We’re hoping our defense,having another year of expe-rience, will have a lot moreterritorial edge in the otherend of the rink this year in-stead of in our own end.”

Coskren, who’s begin-ning his ninth season as headcoach, will be relying onjunior defensemen FrankiDeVingo and Ally Naumannin front of Kelleher.

Coskren is hopingDeVingo and Naumann canhelp make Norwood an evenbetter team when it comes togoal prevention, but won’tnecessarily be looking tothem for offense.

“I don’t really expect alot of offense from the ‘D,’”Coskren said. “We’ve reallygot to rely on them playingdefense. We can’t have asmany opposing shots on netor territorial play as we didlast year. We were fightingto get the puck out of our endall last year.”

The Mustangs scoredonly 40 goals in 21 gameslast season, a number whichis going to have to increasesubstantially if Norwoodwants to return to the play-offs.

But Coskren likes whathe’s seen so far in the pre-season from a pair of fresh-men, who’ll fit right in withthe youth movement startedlast year with Emily Cataldo

Just a quick follow-up tothe “Super saturation for Su-per Bowls” column from twoweeks ago…

…the results are in, andseven of the eight gameswere decided by 12 points ormore; five were decided by21 or more. The only truebarn burner was the Division1A title game, where theKing Philip Warriors de-feated the Reading Rockets,21-18.

The average margin ofvictory was 18.88.

…last season, with onlysix Super Bowls, there weretwo games decided by fivepoints or less (Div. 3 ,Dartmouth 26, Melrose 21and Div. 5, Northbridge 36,E. Bridgewater 34). The av-erage margin of victory was15.33.

…in 2014, two SuperBowls were decided bysingle digits, but three weredecided by 30 or more pointsfor an average margin of vic-tory of 23.5.

Those results may havebeen a driving force in thecall for additional champion-ship games. The 2013 SuperBowls had only one gamedecided by single digits withan average margin of victoryof 17.67.

No matter what, there aregoing to be blowouts in anygiven season.

Thinking of the SuperBowl, jus t because theBrady/Belichick Patr iotshave always found them-selves in a game decided byfour points or fewer, doesn’tmean that’s always the case.Think of that Broncos-Seahawks atrocity in SuperBowl XLVIII.

I guess the MIAA coulddo a better job in determin-ing divisional alignmentsfrom the Berkshires to theCape, but my bigger issuehas to do with a few things Ilearned while watching someof the games.

First of all, the games atGillette had only 10 minutequarters. What? Shorten thelength of the game just tocram 12 teams intoFoxboro…while four otherteams still don’t even get tobe there?

And speaking of the ab-sent teams (Everet t -Xaver ian and Mil l is /Hopedale-Maynard), thosegames weren’t even avail-able on TV in the area. Thesix games at Gillette wereavailable on Comcast SportsNet and New England CableNews for viewers in thegreater New England area,but neither the Division 1nor Division 4A games wereavailable for home viewing.

Yes, they were availableon the NFHS Network – aswere the other games forthose grandparents inFlorida and uncles in LasVegas – but just another mis-step by the MIAA in not get-ting all eight games televisedlocally.

In terms of attendance atGillette, Danny Ventura ofthe Boston Herald reportedthat paid attendance was21,000 people – the highestever. That doesn’t mean21,000 people were in atten-dance for all six games, how-ever, not by a long shot. Andeven if they were…that’sroughly 31 percent at capac-ity.

So congratulations to allof the Super Bowl winners,regardless of how manythere may be. All partici-pants may not deserve tro-phies, but they at least de-serve a fair shake in terms ofthe Super Bowl experience.

Wrestling continued from page 11

McDermott said a new-comer to keep an eye on thisyear is sophomore MikeWhite, who will wrestle inthe 182-pound division.

“In the practice room,he’s a hard worker,”McDermott said. “He’s in atough weight class for ayoung athle te , but [he]shows poise.”

Another newcomer to theteam is assistant coach JohnCampisano, who wrestledalongside McDermott andass is tant coach Scot tMcLean in the early 2000sfor Norwood.

Campisano, who is now afirefighter in the neighbor-hood, was a four-year varsityletterman for the Mustangs.

Other veteransMcDermott said he expectsbig things from this winterare seniors Sylvain Appolon(145-pound division) andGarfield Sales (heavyweightdivision).

McDermott said the instabil-ity of the Norwood coachingstaff over the past few yearscould have been a dealbreakerfor many, but the long timers hehas in his arsenal now haveshown they have what it takesto persevere.

“These guys have gone

through a lot of coachesthese past few years, whichis not easy,” McDermottsaid. “But they exemplifywhat it takes to prevail, toplay with heart, and over-come adversity.”

McDermott said that onceweight c lass i ssues getsorted out with a few wres-tlers, the Mustangs should bedown to just one forfeit permatch – “a huge improve-ment from last season,” hesaid.

McDermott added hehopes that the communitywill help support Norwoodwrestling this season by at-tending some of their homematches, the next of whichis on Saturday, Dec. 31 at 10a.m. against the SharonEagles.

“They will prosper andgrow with the support of ourpeers,” McDermott said.

The Mustangs wrestled athome las t n ight vs . theMilton Wildcats, in an eventheld after the Record’s dead-line.

They’l l t ravel toMarlboro for a tournamenton Saturday at 10 a.m., andalso wrestle at Wellesleynext Wednesday at 7 p.m. be-fore the holiday break.

and Rose Campbell on thetop line.

“We had a lot of seniorsthat hadn’t played much inthe past that we relied onlast year,” Coskren said.“This year, we have somefreshmen that have comeup that we’re going to relyon – they’re doing verywell, up to this point.”

Those f reshmen areAll ie McDonough andAllie Martin, who’ll slideinto top-six forward posi-tions.

Coley Hayes, the lonesenior and captain, willcenter the top line, whileMcDonough will be thepivot on the second line.How Coskren mixes andmatches the rest of the for-

wards between Campbell,Cataldo, Martin and Madi-son O’Rourke remains to beseen.

“[I’m] not sure exactlyyet. That was last year,”Coskren said of keeping theCampbell-Hayes-Cataldoline together. “This year,we’ve actually tried puttingAllie Martin up with them,but I don’t know if that’s go-ing to stay.”

The Mustangs have fin-ished their postseason scrim-mages, with opponents in-cluding Dedham, NewtonCountry Day School, andLaSalle Academy (R.I.) Nomatter the combination ofthe forwards, Coskren hasliked what he’s seen thus far.

“This year, I think we

have to concentrate moreon letting the forwards dothe work,” he said. “Hope-fully with the speed of theyoung freshmen, we’ll beable to change that and doa lot play in the offensiveend.

“I’ve already seen it inthe scrimmages – that wehave had more – but we’vegot to get a lot better at it.”

The Mustangs open upthe 2016-17 season on Sat-urday vs. the BraintreeWamps at Rodman Arenain Walpole , wi th puckdrop at 2:50 p.m. They’llalso host Shawsheen Val-ley Tech on Monday atBajko Rink in Hyde Parkat 4 p.m. opening week.

Norwood huddles for a strategy change during the game. Coach Chuck Allen said his boys were not too pleased withthe resulting tie of the game, but wants them to feel like they should have done better and won the game.

hind-the-back pass, the kid scored and it turnedthe momentum.”

Matt Farragher put the Hornets (5-10-5 in ’15-16) on the board just 45 seconds after McCue’sgoal, and Chad Piotti potted the equalizer 41 sec-onds later to even things up at 2-2.

Mansfield controlled play throughout the sec-ond period, peppering Norwood goaltender Aus-tin Reardon with eight shots on goal in the frame.Reardon made 24 saves on the afternoon.

But the Mustangs emerged from the middleperiod with the lead on a scrappy goal from SeanMunro at 11:19, who crashed the net after McCue’sbid on the doorstep was denied.

Piotti would even things up one last time witha goal 38 seconds into the final period, a 15-minutefury with a bevy of chances for each team.

McCue had Norwood’s best chance with aboutthree minutes remaining in regulation, while it wasPiotti looking for the hat trick with about 1:20 left,only to be robbed pointblank by Reardon.

“Am I satisfied? Never,” Allen said after the

game. “But I like the way they competed. I thinkthey feel good, but a little upset because they feelthey should have won. And that’s the way I wantthem to feel.”

Stylistically, Allen hopes to see hisdefensemen pinching in more in the attackingzone – especially on the power play. The Mus-tangs went 0-for-3 on the man advantage, includ-ing the squandering of a 5-on-3 opportunity.

“Defensemen, I want them pitching,” he said.“I believe they couldn’t do that before. If youkeep the puck in, the third guy’s high – don’tworry about it. I think we did a good job at thattonight.”

Norwood will get another crack at Mansfieldon Wednesday, Dec. 28, this time at the Hornets’home rink, Foxboro Sports Center.

The Mustangs make their 2016-17 road de-but on Saturday vs. the Braintree Wamps atZapustas Arena in Randolph at 4:45 p.m.Braintree was 14-4-3 last season, just missing outon the Super Eight field.
