CONWAY — The Kennett High boys’ ice hockey team opened 2022 on the road against a familiar foe — John Stark-Hopkinton — in Nashua on Wednesday. The Eagles turned in their best performance of the young season but left Lee Clement Arena on the short end of a 5-1 scoreline.
“We played our best game of the season,” said Michael Lane, Eagles’ head coach. “We just didn’t get the results on the scoreboard.”
