Christopher Laureigh proved why he wears the “C” on his jersey Dec. 2. Normally a playmaking forward, the speedy senior wasn’t in goal, even though he may have thought that’d be fun. But he did occupy a position in front of the net.

“Playing defense is fun. It’s different. I get to see the whole ice,” Laureigh said after he scored a goal and gave out an assist as Southern Regional edged Toms River North, 2-1, to grab its second straight win to start the season.
