Boys' Hockey Blinded by Greenwich Ice Storm


-By: Jesse Hodges-

The boys’ hockey team beat the snowstorm only to face their own storm on the ice against the Greenwich Cardinals on Tuesday night. (1/11) They went down to Greenwich in a close 2-0 loss. The game started off on a sour note when senior captain Richard Gregory and one of top sixth forwards, junior George Gregory, could not play. In the first period senior Will Kerr received a penalty for interference. Then Greenwich made the first goal in the first period – a controversial goal because it appeared a Greenwich player kicked a puck into the net. The next goal was scored in the second period on a power play shot from a Greenwich defenseman which deflected off another Greenwich player. “it was tough loss because it was our first FCIAC game versus an opponent who we believe we are better than. Overall, we played all right even though we didn’t fore-check that well and we didn’t take shots when given the opportunities,” junior Nick Bruno said. The boys have a chance to redeem themselves against Amity at 3:30pm in Woodbridge on Saturday. (1/15)
