Tanners junior Smedira teams up with Project Semicolon

PEABODY -- When the Peabody/Lynnfield and Bishop Fenwick girls hockey teams squared off last Saturday in the opening game of their annual two-game rivalry series, there was much more on the line than merely winning or losing.

The first annual "Faceoff against Mental Illness" game served as a fundraiser for Project Semicolon, a charitable organization whose mission is dedicated to the prevention of suicide.
