Killoran Named Valley Player of the Week
Will Killoran scored two goals and handed out four assists, McKinley posted 2-1-3 and Adduci, Delvalle and Vraibel all had 1-1-2 in Charlestown Midgets’ 10-3 victory over Wakefield. Killoran has shined during parity this fall, and was named the Valley League’s Player of the Week over the weekend. It’s an honor few CYHA players have won, and Killoran is certainly one to watch as he and the Midget team progress. The team is 3-3 at the moment, dropping a close one to Watertown last Saturday, 1-2.
