A longtime youth and girls hockey coach, there is little Woodbury High girls coach Scott Waldo has not seen.
But he admits, readily and happily, that he did not anticipate the Royals’ burst out of the gates this season. Through 13 games, Woodbury is 12-0-1, allowing just 11 total goals. They’ve held opponents to one or fewer goals 10 times, with six of their wins being shutouts.
“I never saw this coming,” Waldo said.
