Alright so i hope its pretty obvious I'm a very big supporter of Winthrop, Massachusetts. From the town, the people, to the school system, i fuck with the Dub hard body. So i felt id like to shed some light on the towns collegiate athletics this 1.2 square mile or whatever place is currently producing. Lynn Items gone to shit concerning Winthrop and even the Transcript isn't what it used to be. Yeah there may not be any ESPN shout outs on the kids coming out of this community *cough cough I'm kidding Mikey E*. Everywhere i look I'm seeing somebody's on a roadie and strapping up for a team other than Blue & Gold. Pretty much using this as a sequel to Spins HSZ bios, but either way its getting some extra exposure to some hard working Vikings. I know i can't get everyone in here and I'm going to be bias as fuck since I'm doing this for somewhat fun. I midas whale focus on the sports of Hockey and Basketball since i seem pretty invested in them already. Just so i don't have to make it seem like I'm sucking everyones dick, ill briefly speak on some buddies and add accordingly for those who are apart of collegiate athletics in the Winter of 2014-2015. #RollVikes
Hockey:
Chris "Bucky" Leblanc, Forward for the Merrimack Warriors
He's what some people may call a stud through and through. Public School to Hockey East aint no joke and this kid also enjoys himself when home. Certainly one of the first to come to mind when assembling a drink tilt as well as when i was thinking of athletes to sauce some spotlight on. He may be an Ottawa Senator but ill take him back to Mites in Chel, definitely a "pass the sticks Buck" coming this winter break for sure.
Casey "The Doctah" Goll, Defensmen for THE SNHU Penmen
If you haven't met him, meet him. All i've got to say. Somehow has shaken off his St.Marys Spartan situation and reversed that to a full time Viking. Im going to go ahead and assume that if he and his sister Chelsea didn't split their abilities, they'd be in the show somewhere by now. His draft class from New Hampton has single handedly turned around the Program to a very respectable place to be whether on the ice or on the weekends. Yes ladies, he's single!
Brendan "Fitz" Fitzpatrick, Defensemen for the Franklin Pierce Ravens
Fucking Fitzy, Jesus Christ. True Irishmen who's in the box enough more than i could even make a joke about. Hard worker and drinker whom is 100% behind the times, technology wise. Cant leave this leader in Game Appearances for the Maroon and white or whatever the fuck they are off this list.
Joey "Loaf" Scarfo, Forward for the Curry Colonels
Instant Offense here people, especially in late August. If this kid had stock, i'd buy it. Hockey players who's grinded out the last few years (injuries) and now is getting some playing time for the Purple & white up in Milton. A very versatile Viking, easy going and has the ability to drink in many different social scenarios. Nothing less than a handful Genos for #10 is my expectations for this 2011 WHS product.
Jake "Randal" Rand, Defensemen for the Endicott Gulls
Jake here didn't know what he wanted to do, so went to be a Gull and has been juggling Golf & Puck since 01'. Very solid contributor for both programs over his college career, &I'm over here with Howard struggling to eat 2 meals a day. Skillful with his hands, quite the head case when Rob Swanson feels to rattle his age. None the less a good example of a Viking.
Basketball:
Quinton Dale, Forward/Center for the Wheaton Lyons
When healthy, one of the more savage Division 3 players in the area. Sidelined with a torn ACL or some sad shit like that, he's sitting this winter but i hope for a sweet comeback for this long athletic big. Started towards the end of the bench his freshman year & pretty much killed it to the point where he completely skipped entering the rotation to being a main role of the team. Huge mismatch during summer league especially in the Revere Police League, those dudes cannot handle him what so ever.
Devin Thompson, Guard for the UNE Nor'easters
Not so much of a true Viking, but like Casey Goll represents the town very well in my opinion. Cash from deep as well as developed into a very physical guard when needs to be. Playing in Lynn definitely beat the white boy out of this kid. Gets his touches and is another sleeper summer league pick up.
Joe Damore, Forward for the Northeastern Huskies
It may be only at the Club Level, but Joe here has Division 1 athleticism to go with his weird personality. Jumps out the building and in recent years has psychologically grown the last few years, propelling him from being a weird plane major to hooping for NU this winter.
Some Other Vikes i just feel weird breaking down: Nick McCarthy (Bentley), Pat & Dan Feeley (UVM & Framingham St), Connor Dempsey (Dartmouth), Adam Lundberg (WNEC), Johanna Fisher (Central Conn), Mark Hamilton (UMaine), Jared Beckwith (USM), Mike O'Neill (Norwich), Bo Diaz (Framingham State), Jess Dowson (NEC), Haley Benson (UMass Lowell), Cody Wasson (Mount Ida), and a few others. Long Live Winthrop.
