King Philip senior Kiki Lynch has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Dec. 7 through Dec. 13. Lynch is the 15th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2025-26 school year and the first in the winter season.
Lynch came through with 17 saves against Canton, as the Warriors opened their first season as defending Hockomock League champions with a 2-0 shutout of rival Canton at the Foxboro Sports Center. It gives KP a very early leg up in this season’s title race, which should come down to the rematch with the Bulldogs on the last day of January.
KP coach Ken Assad said after the Canton game, “PK kills us. It ruins your momentum. But, having a backstop like Kiki, it just calms you down a little bit. It’s just a soothing, calmness that she provides for me.”
There wasn’t much for Lynch to do in the first period. She made two relatively comfortable saves, as the Warriors got off on the front foot and took a 1-0 lead. In the second, Lynch showed why she’s one of the top shot stoppers in the area. Canton got an early power play and peppered the KP goalie, who made six saves to preserve the lead, including a pair of close-range shots from Lauren Raffetto and a chance for Rori Sasin in the slot. KP doubled its lead a few minutes later. Lynch also needed to be strong in the closing stretch of the game, with Canton pressing to get on the board, and she came through with a clutch poke check on a 3-on-1 break and another save on a shot from the slot.
