Sunday, the NH Avalanche 2000 team played its' last scheduled road game of their Bantam Major season at The Rinks at Exeter. They squared off against a familiar foe, the Seacoast Spartans.

While the opponent was one that the Avs 2000 team has seen numerous times this season, it had been four weeks Continue Reading...

Well, it was Sunday, the final day of the NHL All-Star Weekend. All-Star weekend took place in Columbus, Ohio.

NH Avalanche 2000 vs. Seacoast – Ice Den 1-18-15
Sunday, during a freezing rain that seemed to be far worse on the north side of Route 101, the NH Avalanche 2000 team played host to the Seacoast Spartans. Several roads were in fact closed, and accidents did re-route traffic in a number of places, but hockey goes on. After all was said and done, the score ended in a tie at 2-2. The home team led for most of this game, and, truthfully, I think Continue Reading...

NH Avalanche 2000 – Turkey Tournament 1

The game was played at the beautiful facility on the campus of The Governor's Academy.
