Everett Co-Op Boys’ Hockey season opens with win behind Annunziata’s hat trick

By Dom Nicastro

The Revere–Everett–Malden-Mystic Valley boys hockey co-op opened its winter with a 4–2 win over Somerville, powered by a hat trick from Revere senior Frankie Annunziata and a stellar performance in net by Everett’s Ray Blauvelt.

Blauvelt turned away approximately 30 shots — “the best game of his high school career,” said head coach Craig Richards — while Mystic Valley’s Martino Carbo sealed the win with an empty-netter off a neutral-zone steal with 40 seconds left.

Other contributors included Malden’s Tommy Cronin, Everett’s Ben Saia, and Mystic Valley eighth grader Cam Macone, who tallied the assists.

On the defensive end, Everett senior Charlie Govostes and eighth grader Bradley Roach stood out.

“Our three captains — Annunziata, Saia and Cronin — have done an amazing job taking our young team under their wings,” said Richards. “We couldn’t be happier with how they’ve approached this season and look forward to more positives.”
