Hockey Tournament Raises More than $20,000 for Team Liam

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. -- The Shamrocks and Rensselaer Rejects won the A and B Division titles, respectively, at this weekend's Berkshire Summer Bash.
 
The three-day tournament organized by the Berkshire Bear League Hockey league, brought teams from around the region to help raise money to support Liam Lescarbeau, a 9-year-old member of the Northern Berkshire Youth Hockey League's Black Bears youth program.
 
On Monday morning, NBYHL President Aaron Girgenti reported that the event raised more than $20,000 through team entry fees, the concession stand and a raffle.
 
On Sunday evening, the Rejects squared off against the F-Bombs in the B division final after each team played three games in a four-team round robin.
 
The Rejects held a slight, 3-2, lead after two periods but earned a two-goal margin with a goal midway through the third. The New Yorkers tacked on an empty net goal in the closing seconds to take a 5-2 win and the B Division title.
 
The Shamrocks' A Division final against the Ducks got off to a fast start with the teams trading goals in a high-flying first-period that saw the Shamrocks take a 3-1 lead before the Ducks scored in the 15th minute of the 17-minute period to get within a goal at 3-2.
 
In the second period, though, the defenses and goalies took over, and the score stayed 3-2 until midway through the third, when the Shamrocks broke through to get some breathing room.
