Blackjacks Looking To Win Big In Berlin
BERLIN, NH – The new Berlin Blackjacks will be taking over the ice at Notre Dame Arena starting this Saturday.
The Blackjacks are among the first American teams to be added to the Ligue Nord-Americaine de Hockey, a minor-level professional hockey league based out of Quebec. LNAH translates to the North American Hockey League and is regarded as a more respected hockey league than the Federal Hockey League of which the River Drivers were a part of.
According to Wikipedia the LNAH differs from other leagues because it lacks a veteran limit rule, which allows teams to stock up on experienced players.
The league is also considered by fans as being the toughest league in the world.
News Director Christian Mower spoke with Blackjack Team President Mark Dorval Thursday about the new team and what hockey lovers can expect this coming season. You can listen to the interview below.
The Blackjacks play the Thetford Assurancia Friday (9/28/18) in Thetford Mines Quebec, and have their first ever home game at Notre Dame Arena Saturday night (9/29/18) at 7:30pm.

Wolfeboro Teen Dies In Car Accident At Problem Intersection
OSSIPEE, NH – A car accident in Ossipee took the life of a 17-year-old girl yesterday morning. Ossipee Detective-Sergeant Robert J. King Jr. said that at 7:14am police responded to a motor vehicle accident at the intersection of Routes 28 and 171.
Police said a dump truck being driven by 61-year-old Joseph Goodrow of Alton was headed north on Route 28 when it struck a Chevy Cobalt driven by Ramsie Taylor of Wolfeboro as she entered the intersection from Water Village Road. Authorities said Taylor was killed upon impact.
Investigators said that speed and alcohol do not appear to be factors.
Investigators with state police are checking the truck for mechanical problems as they try to figure out what happened.
Kingswood Principal Guy Donnelly told the Conway Daily Sun that Taylor was a senior at Kingswood regional High School, and they will have counselors available for students who need them.
Ossipee Town officials said the crash should never have happened, noting that they have been lobbying the state to fix the intersection for years.
WMUR-TV reports that there have been 65 milti-vehicle accidents at that intersection, including multiple fatalities since 2010.
Officials Predict Record Fall Tourism Season
HOLLIS, N.H. (AP) — Tourism officials in New Hampshire are projecting a slight increase in the numbers of visitors and the amount spent this fall in the state.
The New Hampshire Division of Travel and Tourism Development on Monday projected that 3 million out-of-state visitors who spend the night will spend $1.4 billion in the state. That would mark a 4.5 percent increase for visitors and a 5 percent increase for spending.
The fall season is considered the second most important travel season in New Hampshire, representing a quarter of all the visitations. Scenic drives and outdoor recreation are among the most popular activities for visitors.
Early projections are that this fall season should be a good one, with a University of New Hampshire scientist suggesting there will be vibrant fall colors.
