For the first time since 1991, there is a new man at the helm of our baseball program. Announced as the new coach last November, previous Assistant Varsity Head Coach Mitch Hoffman will take over the reins from Mark Rearic as head varsity coach going into the 2010 season. Mr. Hoffman brings with him an established baseball resume. As the baseball coach and Athletic Director for St. Lukes, Hoffman piloted the Crusaders to several state championships and a winning record until 2005, when he left St. Luke’s High School to found the Bobby Valentine Sports Academy in Stamford.

Rams give thanks for Turkeybowl victory

Today is a day of thanks. We give thanks for pilgrims and Indians and turkey, but today especially we give thanks that, once again, New Canaan has won the Turkeybowl against Darien, 14 to 7.
