Despite a strong effort on Saturday at Ristuccia Arena, the Wilmington girls hockey team lost to the Red Devils, 6-4.

It’s safe to say this year’s Wilmington girls hockey team will be growing together. The Lady Wildcats, who open their 2011-12 campaign on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. with a home tilt at Ristuccia Arena, feature just one senior and two juniors. “It’s always a positive when you can keep some players for four years and beyond,” said head coach Joe McMahon, whose team moves into the Middlesex League this year. “They’ll be put right into the competition. It’s going to make them a much better team in the long run.” Returning player Jane Farrell is among the forwards who will see significant ice time, along with Katie MacDougall, Caroline Robarge, Chloe Castellano, Ryan Gautreau and Michaela McLaughlin.
