BERLIN — A veteran cast returns to the ice this winter for the Berlin-Gorham-Kennett girls’ hockey team. The Mountaineers have their sights set on a deep postseason run this winter, and Coach Craig Bartoli is excited to help his players reach their potential.
The Mountaineers return a solid core group from last year’s 11-7 squad, but lost four seniors including captains Jill Hallee and Sidney Chapman, who garnered Division I All-State, First-Team and Honorable Mention honors, respectively, along with Kadence Gendron and Tiah Turmel to graduation last June.
