Alex Berard wears a '207' sticker on his helmet during a men's college hockey game between Vermont and Connecticut last month in Burlington, Vermont. Berard, a 27-year-old Winslow native and 2015 graduate of Winslow High School, is now in his first year working as a Hockey East official.
This was one of Alex Berard's first ever games as an ice hockey official at Sukee Arena & Events Center in Winslow. Berard began refereeing hockey games at the age of 10.
Alex Berard shares a laugh with two Vermont players following a game last month. Berard rose through the ranks as he did peewee, high school, junior hockey and United States Hockey League (USHL) games before reaching Hockey East.
