On the Ice

Hanover Bantams Split

Lowell, Mass. — The Hanover Hockey Association Bantam Green made the most of the long trip to Massachusetts on Saturday, beating the New England Edge, 6-1, in a youth hockey game played at Tsongas Arena.

The Wild piled up the offense against the Edge despite recording just 20 shots on goal. Casey Graham and Hank Trimble both scored twice for Hanover, while Ben Wagner and Curtis Rice also dented the net. Cole Guildenzoph set up both of Graham’s goals. Rice, Alex Rockmore, John Hill and Griffin Auch also had assists. Goalie Luke Ives made 12 saves for the win.

Hanover’s good fortune didn’t continue into Sunday’s Union Arena home game with third-ranked Lakes Region. Despite outshooting the visitors, 26-18, all the Wild could manage was an Auch goal, set up by Graham and Rice, in a 4-1 loss.

Hanover is 5-5-0 on the season.

In the Saddle

Dressage Team Tryout

Enfield — First Choice Riding Academy is taking the first steps toward building a potential Upper Valley dressage team by holding a test and tryout for young riders on Saturday, starting at 2 p.m.

The plan is to develop an Upper Valley-based team of four riders ages 21 or younger to compete at the Hits on the Hudson dressage event in Saugerties, N.Y., in 2018. The December event will start with an organizational meeting followed by a short written test on knowledge of horsemanship and the training scale.

After that, half of the group in attendance will go through core assessments in the gym with the other half gets on their horses for compulsory evaluations.

Any riders interested in what the program has to offer are welcome to attend. Refreshments will be available. For more information, contact Heidi Jo Hauri-Gill at heidi@firstchoiceridingacademy.com or 603-632-1011.
