(MTA) The MTA hockey teams have gotten off to a strong start with wins to kick off the season. Playing JV/varsity doubleheaders against Ramaz in back-to-back weeks, the Lions looked to come out of the gate with wins in the season opener and the subsequent rematches. Opening night in the MTA Lion’s Den saw two shutout victories as the Lions overpowered the Ramaz defense and both teams displayed strong defense and goaltending. In the rematch games at Ramaz, the Rams got on the board in both matchups, but the MTA offense was able to put the Lions ahead in both matchups for two more victories.
