CONWAY — The Kennett High ice hockey team went a perfect 3-3 last week and continued to cross items off its to-do list.
With the three wins — 10-1 over Laconia Winnisquam at Ham Ice Arena on Senior Night on Feb. 20; 10-2 over Pembroke/Campbell at Everett Arena on Wednesday; and 3-0 over John Stark/Hopkinton at Lee Clement Arena on Saturday — the Eagles closed the book on the regular season with a 15-3 record and secured the No. 1 seed for the Division III playoffs.
