CONWAY — Fans were treated to some terrific high school hockey when the 12th annual Peter Hall Christmas Tournament took center stage at the Ham Ice Arena in Conway Village last Friday through Sunday.
Berlin-Gorham lifted the prestigious trophy for the fourth time, and first since 2015, by beating hosts Kennett High, who were appearing in their fourth consecutive championship game, 5-0, before a good-sized crowd on Sunday night.
