Storylines and notes

Both programs are listed with no results entered (0-0 on the board), and there is no recent meeting data available in the game file. Amesbury will host the Hornets looking to build midweek momentum; both teams also have Friday games on Jan. 30 — Amesbury at North Reading and Manchester Essex at Lynnfield — so coaches may be juggling minutes and matchups with a quick turnaround.
