Westwood native and Northeastern University hockey player Jack Hughes is going professional. Mr. Hughes has been selected by the Los Angeles Kings as the 51st pick of the 2022 NHL Draft.

Mr. Hughes may be said to be part of a family dynasty, with dad Kent Hughes recently joining the Montreal Canadiens as General Manager, after being hired in January of this year.

The cost of $27,000 could have been avoided if the tax payers were notified about the idea of taking the WLT to court and it was discussed at a regular town meeting. Especially when a town takes the unusual step of taking its own land trust to court.
