The Holyoke hockey team exploded for four goals in the third period to defeat Agawam 5-2 at Fitzpatrick Arena in Holyoke Friday.

The Purple Knights improved to 2-1 with the victory.

"They weren't giving 100 percent. They were off a little bit" in the first two periods, Holyoke coach John Houle said. "I said #Each one of you guys has to win your shift, win your battles,' and they did. They came out flying and we were a little too much."
