LANTZ: It was a weekend to forget for the Major Bantam Under-15 Rangers.
The Rangers lost both their N.S. U-15 Major Bantam Hockey league games to the Dartmouth Whalers on home ice in Lantz and on the road Sunday in Truro against the Bearcats.
The team also lost a key player after an incident on the ice against the Whalers, one which saw Noah Hawco go down hurt on the ice.
Hawco went down near the Rangers net in the second period but the game officials allowed play to continue for about 10 seconds despite him laying unable to move on the ice; he had to hit the ice with his gloves a couple times before play was blown dead.
He was helped off by several adults/team staff to his dressing room.
