Laconia, NH. The New England Wolves are planning a community kick-off event for this Saturday, September 7th at the Merrill Fay Arena in Laconia.  Festivities will begin at 4pm outside the arena, with games, food, music, player autograph signing, raffles and much more.  

At 6pm inside the arena, the Wolves JR teams (both EHL & EHLP) will participate in a combined Red vs Black scrimmage.  It will be the public’s first opportunity to see the teams in action, and get to know the members of this years rosters, which have been recruited from places as far away as Latvia, Slovakia, Belarus, Florida, Georgia, Colorado and many more destinations.

“We have developed a great fan following here in Laconia the last several years, and we wanted to plan an event where we could say Thank You to our fans and have our athletes interact with the community prior to the season starting.” commented Wolves GM Andrew Trimble.
