The La Salle Academy hockey team rolled past defending champion Bishop Hendricken 4-1 on Saturday night at Thayer Arena in Warwick.
The Hawks and Rams are once again expected to be in the championship mix despite graduating large senior cores, and the Rams were the ones to make the early season statement by picking up the lopsided decision on the road.
La Salle mounted a 3-0 advantage, but Frank Tillinghast would find the back on the net late in the second period to get the Hawks on the board. The Rams, though, would control the third period and add one final score.
