With the way the Girls Hockey team played this season, there was little doubt among the fans who attended the FCIAC championship game against the Darien Blue Wave who would pull out the W. By the time the Rams took a 5-0 lead by the end of the first period, the Rams’ FCIAC chances were all but assured. The 7-1 massacre at the Darien Ice Rink, the Rams’ fifth FCIAC Championship victory in the past seven years, is illustrative of the Rams’ incredible season. They have been absolutely unstoppable with a 22-1 record.

The official ski team was disbanded years ago due to a lack of seriousness and dedication among its participants, but the high school has revived the program this winter.

“For a long time the kids on the team would join, and didn’t have any intentions of taking it seriously. Unfortunately, their misconduct led to the team losing recognition,” one of the team’s parent founders, Suzanne Cole said.
