Wednesday was a day of fun, despite some drama for some local high school hockey teams.

The Bishop Guertin and Merrimack boys teams pulled out wins late – Guertin’s came in overtime – while the Souhegan girls picked up their first win of the season in their final regular season game.

Here’s a look:
