BERLIN — The Berlin High School boys hockey Team sits atop Division III at 4-0, after a hard- fought overtime victory over the Kennett Eagles, now at 4-1, Wednesday night at Notre Dame Arena.
A relieved and happy Coach Mike Poulin was a bit disappointed that the Mountaineers couldn’t handle things better in the defensive end in the last minute of play with Kennett’s goalie on the bench and six skaters on the ice. Kennett applied pressure, Berlin failed to clear the zone and with 28.5 seconds remaining in regulation, scored the tying goal to stun an ardent home crowd, and thrill a large group of Kennett fans on hand.
