The Bearcats were ready though, Continue Reading...
The Flames had an early morning game at Phillips Exeter Academy on Saturday against NH East. The Flames ended up with an 8-4 victory against a good, and very feisty team. But honestly, maybe the best part of the game was the visiting Flames versus the boards along the team benches (no doors). The boards were a decisive winner. Manchester plays Concord tomorrow morning at Tilton School. Enjoy a Continue Reading...

After playing four games over the weekend during Christmas break while many teams had a lesser schedule the hockey powers that be said to the 2010 Flames, "Try this on for size".

The Flames started the new year with two road games on Saturday, to be followed by two more road games on Sunday.
