2008 Season marks 25 years of CHS Soccer

 2008 Bulldogs mark 25 years by posting best record ever

The 2008 Boys Soccer team found an appropriate way to mark the program's 25th anniversary season- playing to a program best record of 17-2-1, winning the Hockomock League Championship, and advancing to the South Sectional Semi-Final for the third year in a row.
The squad was definitely a great mix of upper and lower classmen, but the team will certainly miss its eight graduating seniors. Bobby Saraf was dominating in the middle of the field right up through the last minute of the season. Matt Murray played perhaps his best game of an incredible career in his final game. Devin O'Gorman completed the finest career of any goalkeeper in the history of CHS- and graduates with every significant goal-keeping record. Robby Leone was as solid and consistent of a marking back as any the program has ever had. Ivan Perun was incredibly dangerous attacking from the flank all year. Alex Chin's insertion into the line-up was like an adrenaline shot to the team's attack as he made the team much more dangerous. Thiago Ambrosio scored three huge goals late in the season including two to ensure the Hock Championship. Chris Hunter committed 100% to this team and made everyone better as a result. All of these young men were crucial to this team's success and will be missed.

Record over past three seasons: 40-10-11
Record at CHS over past three seasons: 22-4-4

The Bulldog 25
In honor of the 25th anniversary season of CHS Boys Soccer, we have announced the 25 players who have had the greatest impact on the program over that quarter of a century.  
The twenty-five players were selected by a group of CHS alumni and coaching staff (many of whom are on the list so there could be a conflict of interest!) They are NOT ranked in order.

The List (no particular order)

Chris Conway- 1986- The first All-Hockomock player from Canton, Conway was a relentless defender and hard-worker on the very first Bulldog team. He and his teammates laid the foundation to what has since become one of the best programs in Eastern Mass.

Adam Castonguay- 2003- Castonguay had arguably, the best single season of any CHS player ever. He excelled in both the goal and in the field during the historic 2002 run to the Sectional Final. Scored 5 goals in his limited field minutes while he played perhaps the finest single game any CHS keeper ever has down in Somerset. He also earned EMASS All-Star honors.

Jeff Shea- 2005-Led the team in scoring in 2004, netting 22 of the team's 27 goals. Currently ranks 6th in all-time scoring-32 goals, 9 assists- 41 points.

Brendan Ryan- 1998- The goalkeeper during the best season in the program's history. He recorded 9 shutouts and had an astounding .58 GAA during the Hock Championship season of 1997.

Doug Richmond- 1992- One of the early greats in program history. Instrumental in two state tournament teams- currently ranks 7th among career CHS goal scorers- 21 goals, 16 assists, 37 points.

Danny Erickson- 1989- Erickson, the varsity coach at CHS for the past 16 seasons, was the first ever two-time All-Hockomock League selection for the Bulldogs as well as the first ever EMass All-Star. He is currently 10th on the all-time scoring list.

Keith Conroy-1998- Conroy was the backbone of a tough Bulldog defense during the Hock Championship Season of 1997. He was voted MVP of the 1997 All-Star Game.

AJ MacDonald- 1999- MacDonald was relentless in the way he approached the game. He was a key contributor to first Hock Championship. Currently ranks 11th in all-time scoring.

DJ Murray-2007- Murray was the anchor of the midfield for the 13-2-5, Hockomock Championship season of 2006. He is the only player in CHS Boys Soccer History to be named Hock MVP and an All-New England Selection. He was a two year captain. 

Matt Aucoin- 2003- Aucoin is one of the most talented players to ever don a CHS soccer jersey. He led the powerful 2002 team in scoring and currently sits 8th on the career scoring list (26 goals, 9 assists, 35 points.)

Billy Anastasiadis- 2004- Billy was a force in the Hockomock during the 2001, 2002 and 2003 seasons. He is 4th all time in CHS scoring- 27 goals, 21 assists- 48 points. His 21 assists is a school record. He was an All-Hock selection in 2001 and 2003. He is also one of only 8 Bulldogs to make the All-State team.

Connor Erickson- 2004- The second of the Erickson brothers to be named to the Bulldog 25, Erickson was All-Hock his Junior year when he was 2nd on the team in scoring and managed the midfield for the powerful South Sectional Finalists.

Wes Rawding- 2000- The Bulldog's netminder for some of the best seasons the program has seen. Currently has the 2nd lowest career goals against average (1.41) and is tied for 2nd in career shutouts with 12. Named All-Hock in 1998 and 1999.

Jarod Richmond-1995- The second Richmond brother to make the list, Jarod was a scoring threat during the mid 90s. He helped lead his team in '94 to the state tournament where they won the 2nd tourney game in the program's history.

Richie Daniels- 1998- Daniels was the go-to guy on the 1997 Hock Championship team. He notched 8 goals including a huge late goal in the clinching game vs. KP. Was as tough and competitive as anyone to ever wear the jersey. He currently sits as the 9th all-time leading scorer. All-State as well.

John Shea- 2003- Although he doesn't have the flashy stats, he was the backbone of the 2002 team's defense. He was huge in the team's run to the Sectional Finals. Hard-nosed but comfortable on the ball- a truly great soccer player.

Michael White-2007-
Whitey owns the major shutout records for the Bulldogs-
Career shutouts-16
Single Season Shutouts-10.
 He minded the Canton goal longer than anyone else in the program's history (53 games). He was critical to the 'Dogs 2006 13-2-5 championship season- Named All-Hock for the fine season.

Eric Langlois- 1994- Langlois was an incredible talent for the 'dogs in the early 90s. He was a scoring force in the Hock. His 31 goals and 19 assists put him 2nd in all-time Bulldog scoring with 50 points.

Andy Erickson- 1991- Erickson is the all-time leading scorer for the Bulldogs (45 goals, 20 assists, 65 points) and also holds the single season scoring record (25 g, 7 a, 32 pnts.) He led the 1990 'dogs to the program's first ever tournament win. He was the first Bulldog named to the All-State team.

Anthony Balsamo-1999- Balsamo only spent two years with the 'dogs after transferring from Xaverian, but made quite an impact. He was the key central midfielder on the strong 1997 and 1998 teams. His strong vision and distribution made those teams incredibly dangerous.

Danny Corocoran- 2007- Canton's dominant scoring threat in the 2006 championship season, Corcoran ended his career with 30 goals and 12 assists and now sits as the 5th leading scorer in Bulldog history. Scored what could be argued as the best goal in CHS history in a Quarterfinal tourney game in 2006. Check out the goal.

George Thomas- 2000- Currently the CHS assistant coach, Thomas had a dominating high school career. He led the Hock Championship team in scoring as a sophomore in 1997 and currently sits in 3rd place among all-time scorers (31g, 18a, 49 points). He is the only CHS player to be named to the Eastern Mass All-Star team twice. All-State in 1999.

Matt Johnson- 2002- MJ was a critical member of the 1998-2001 teams. As a freshmen, he stepped into goal for an injured Wes Rawding in KP and played phenomenally well. He spent most of his career as a defender- a relentless defender. His dedication to winning 50-50 balls set the tone for every team he played on.

Robbie Conroy- 1999- Conroy was an impact player for the Bulldogs for four years. Played forward and midfield his first couple of years before becoming the key to the Bulldog's defense by his junior and senior years. Fast, strong and driven describe this talented player who had a passion for the game.

Danny Boreham- 2002- Boreham may be the greatest shot-saver to ever mind the Canton goal. His enormous frame and reach caused fits for opposing forwards. He holds the CHS goalkeeping record for lowest career goals against average at 1.07.
