Although the 55th Annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl won't be played until Aug. 2, fans can get their first peek at the New Hampshire team on July 26. That's when New Hampshire coach Craig Kozens (Laconia High School) will hold an intra-squad scrimmage that is open to the public.

Vermont coach Mike Law (U-32 High School) will conduct a scrimmage on the same day. Both scrimmages will be held at Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, the practice site for this year's game.

The New Hampshire team is scheduled to practice from 9 a.m. until noon, from 1-4 p.m. and from 6-8 p.m. each day. New Hampshire Football Report will offer daily updates on Shrine practice beginning July 24, one day after the teams report. New Hampshire Football Report will also publish the times for each scrimmage when they are announced.

The New Hampshire and Vermont teams will visit the Shrine Hospital for Children in Springfield, Mass., on July 27.
