High School Hockey: New Alignment For 2019-20

As the high school hockey season gets underway later this week it is important to note classification changes for the 2019-20 season. Perhaps the biggest - one statewide Class A division.

Three teams join the new Class B North - Cony, Gardiner and Maranacook.
