Congratulations to this week’s Showcase Cinemas High School Team of the Week: Johnston/North Providence Co-Op!

Even though they are a co-op team, the players refer to the team as family, and that’s exactly what they are.

They have had to overcome two disappointing seasons in Division II(only winning 4 games in two years), changing back to Division III, a coach leaving, adapting to a new coach, and injuries. Through all of this, they never quit and always kept a positive attitude. Even though the odds were against them, they came together to
beat the top two teams in the division (which they hadn’t done all season) to become the Division III State Champs.

They are One Team with One Dream!

Co-head coach, David Centracchio said it best: “This team has inspired a dream of all hockey players. That dream has always been to overcome the odds against you as an individual and as a FAMILY. We have done a special thing that few student-athletes achieve. Families have faith in each other. The coaches and your own families believe in you! Continue to believe in each other! One of the greatest things in life is to do what others think is impossible or improbable. You WILL prove to yourself and other that you have risen to the challenge. The challenge is before us and we are prepared. CALM, CONFIDENCE, AND DISCIPLINE, BOYS! There is
more work to be done.”
