FOXBORO – They took their hits right out of the gate, but Top Shelf Gold ended up cruising to victory on Saturday at the Foxboro Sports Center. They defeated the Colorado Jr. Dawgs 8-3 in ’06 division play.
Colorado came out of the gate hot, a pair of goals about 30-seconds apart about two minutes in to stake themselves a 2-0 lead. The scores coming from Chris Bruder and Thomas Prendergast.

Niko Tournas’ goal at 2:21 of the second started a six-goal run as Top Shelf scored their first win of the 2021 Jr. Chowder Cup, 8-3. It was one of the four goals Tournas scored in the contest, which he coupled with a pair of assists for a six-point showing.
