The Blackstone Valley co-op hockey team, led by senior Colin Dorgan, won their first state title after a tragic shooting a month ago that killed three of his family members. The team's victory came at Providence’s Amica Mutual Pavilion, with a goal from Jaxon Boyes securing a dramatic 3-2 win. Dorgan had previously scored the game-winning goal in double overtime to secure a win over Portsmouth in the Rhode Island D-II semifinals.
