Tyler Godfrey – Triton with Bill Newell
Godfrey was a star for the Triton boys hockey team this winter, anchoring the Vikings’ defense en route to earning All-Cape Ann League honors. With his help, Triton allowed 1.75 goals per game and allowed just one goal in 16 of its 24 games. He was no slouch on the offensive end either, notching six goals and 13 assists for 19 points — fourth on the team.
Even with all the work he puts into athletics (he’s also the starting catcher for the baseball team), Godfrey puts even more work into academics. The senior has already committed to play baseball at MIT next year while pursuing a degree in engineering.
“It’s all about managing your time,” Godfrey said. “Especially when you have hockey practices that could be at 4 p.m. or 8 p.m. or any other time, you need to be able to stay organized and make sure you get everything done on time.”
Godfrey is leaving Triton on a bit of a sour note, having to miss his senior baseball season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But he’s making the best of it as he continues to work hard and prepare for the next chapter of his academic and athletic career at MIT.
“It’s not as terrible as it could be for me because I have four years of baseball ahead of me, but I really feel for my teammates who aren’t continuing on to play,” Godfrey said. “I’m lucky enough to have a weight bench at my house so I can continue to work out, and as a catcher I’m able to do a lot of drills at home to stay sharp.”
