LYNDON CENTER – For the second straight season, the 10U Tier 5 State Hockey Tournament will be hosted by the Lyndon Area Youth Hockey Association (LAYHA) at Fenton Chester Arena.
The best teams from all around the state will be competing for the cup, with playdowns starting later this week. Greensboro’s Caden and Torin Stuart play for the LAYHA 10U Tier 4 team and their state tournament will be held in Woodstock. Hardwick’s Gracie and Paige Cruickshank also compete in Vermont’s youth hockey program.
Caden notched two goals and an assist and Torin added an assist last week as they split games with St. Albans and Rutland. Their Tier 4 team will rematch with Rutland on Saturday in the first round of the state tournament, with playdowns running through Monday.
In a hockey filled weekend, several LAYHA hockey players attended the Norwich University hockey game at Kreitzberg Arena Friday night. LAYHA alum Cam Gwatkin plays for Southern Maine and allowed attending youth hockey players into their visiting locker room to meet the team. Gwatkin recorded an assist in a 6-3 loss to the Cadets.
