The boys hockey team has an impressive 10-1-1 record heading into the end of the season. With senior co-captains Bennet Ong, Justin Wietfeldt and Eric Wells leading the way, the boys have 7 games left of the regular season, including the long awaited Darien rivalry game this Saturday, February 8 at 3:50pm.

They faced Trumbull Saturday February 1 and came out on top winning 3-2. “We came out strong and put a goal in the first 5 minutes then climbed to a 3 goal lead,” Bennet said. “In the third period, Trumbull put two in quick and it was a one goal game. But we came out on top with another win.” 

The boys only loss was to Hamden on December 18 and only tie was against Xavier on January 29 which went into overtime. They look to push for the number one seed going into FCIACs, with Darien and Greenwich being their top competitors.
