The New Hampshire Avalanche this past week was accepted into the NEHL for play beginning in the 2009-10 season. The Hooksett-based program will be a welcomed addition to the NEHL and will raise the level of competition across the board from Mites through Bantam Major. The NH Avalanche program is coming off a strong season of play in their final year in the Metropolitan Boston Hockey League (MBHL) with seven of its teams finishing in third place or higher. Three Avalanche teams finished the 2008-09 regular season in the #1 spot including the '96 squad and two undefeated teams - the '98 team (30-0-0) and the '00 team (17-0-1), which is a testament to the overall talent in the organization. The NEHL looks forward to another top program in New England joining what is already perceived as the premier AAA League in New England and will make for a very competitive 2009-10 season.
