CONWAY — In a meeting of longtime puck rivals, Kingswood beat the Kennett High hockey team 4-1 with two goals in the final minute at Ham Arena on Wednesday night. This game might become a footnote in local sports history.

It could be the last game for both teams in a building where masks were mandatory for coaches and spectators. The state Department of Health and Human Services updated its mask recommendations on Thursday and is no longer requiring face masks for people in indoor public spaces. This includes schools in the Granite State.
