WOONSOCKET — As glorious and magical as last year was for Joe Gardner in his comeback to boxing, this year has been the complete opposite.

There’s been only one perfect regular season in the nine-year existence of the RIIL’s girls’ hockey program, and that was turned in by Mount St. Charles in the sport’s 2002-03 inaugural season, as the Mounties produced an 8-0 mark and went on to win the first of their six state championships.
Since that season, the girls’ schedule has hovered between 14-18 games, and in the past eight seasons, there hasn’t been a team that’s been able to run the table and enjoy an undefeated regular season.

Robert Fox netted a pair of power-play goals midway through the third period to lift the Rams to a 3-1 victory over the four-time defending state champions at Adelard Arena.
