Here are the top stories in Bedford today:

1. The Wildcats won in an exhilarating game Saturday afternoon against Arizona State, 5-4! The winning overtime goal was by University of New Hampshire men's hockey senior captain Chase Stevenson (West Kelowna, British Columbia). A shoutout to sophomore defenseman Alex Gagne (Bedford, N.H.) and freshman defenseman Damien Carfagna (Wood-Ridge, N.J.) who "each posted an assist" on a goal at 18:51. Stevenson scored twice, including the overtime win. Catch the action on the ice when the Wildcats play Union in Durham on Dec. 30-31 at 4 p.m. (UNH Athletics)
2. Make a warm, cozy blanket for a cold winter night — without knitting! One of the Cozy Knit Blanket Workshops is tonight at 6:30 p.m. Yes, no knitting needles are required. Just pick out one color for a solid blanket, or two colors for a striped blanket, and after the 2- to 3-hour workshop, you'll leave with your own, warm, handmade blanket. Tonight's event may have filled up but call (603) 913-9217 to see if space is available, or register for the Dec. 28 workshop by Dec. 26. (Bedford Patch)
