KENT — The Berkshire School Bears’ girls ice hockey team came to Kent School Saturday, Dec. 6, for what promised to be a tough match between two high-powered New England Prep School Athletic Council Division I teams.

The first period fulfilled that promise with both teams playing aggressively on attack and defense. Despite the action and many attempts, the first period ended scoreless.

The second period began with the equal effort from both teams. Neither side was able to capitalize on their advantage when an opposing player was in the penalty booth. The second period ended with the 0-0 score still in place.

The third period began and, seemingly out of nowhere, Berkshire scored 45 seconds later. Cora Davidson snuck a puck into the net to put the bears up 1-0.

Berkshire kept the momentum rolling in the third period and Addie Lang scored again with seven minutes left.

The match ended 2-0 in favor of Berkshire. A tough loss for Kent but still a long season ahead.

When Jennifer Chrein first stepped inside the cavernous mill building on Whiting Street in Winsted and looked up at the towering figures of the American Mural Project, she had no idea what she was walking into.

“I had been invited by a friend to attend an event in May 2024,” Chrein recalled. That friend, she said, had a ticket they couldn’t use and thought she’d enjoy it. “I didn’t know anything about AMP. I didn’t Google it — nothing.”
