As the winter chill sets in, the Alvirne-Milford hockey team is trying to provide some heat.

The Admirals got a big overtime win on Wednesday, while the Merrimack-Hollis Brookline-Derryfield tri-op won in a rout on the road.

But that’s just hockey. We’ve got some wrestling for you too, as the Milford season continues to flourish, and HB won an all-local battle. Here’s a look at a wild Wednesday:
