Steve's Sports Shorts: Mountaineers edge Kennett 3-2 on the ice

The longstanding, very competitive rivalry between the Berlin-Gorham and Kennett boys’ hockey teams continued Saturday night at the Notre Dame Arena where the Mountaineers managed to hold on to a hard-fought 3-2 win. B-G scored first at 4:12 of first period when Jamison Levesque got the puck to Tyler Rousseau, who took a shot that was saved by Kennett goalie Bryson Wrobleski but the rebound went right on to the stick of freshman Cam Pake, who had a wide-open net on the right side and deposited it there for his first varsity goal, giving the hosts a 1-0 lead.

The Mountaineers held a 12-4 shots-on-goal advantage early, but Kennett gained some momentum and narrowed it to 14-9 after that initial period. Both teams had power plays, including the Mountaineers near the end of that period and for 1:43 of the second period with no goals to show.
