With teenagers' busy lifestyles, it's not often you come across one who is so determined to help out other people. One area teenager has held a hockey tournament in his backyard for the past two years to raise money for a worthy cause, and is planning another one for Sunday. Nick Penberthy, a senior at Williamsville North High School, decided he wanted to help other kids through a sport he loved -hockey. Nick started playing hockey when he was 8 years old for Amherst Youth Hockey, and played there until 2008.

Not only did he play hockey but he became a referee at the age of 12 and continues to referee youth games.

Nick said he won't be playing hockey in college, "but I will probably continue to referee."

One night a few years ago, Nick thought about how cool it would be to put on an ice hockey tournament for high school students - not only to play but to raise money for charity at the same time.
