New Canaan Ices Girls' Hockey


-By: Ian Sullivan-

Darien Girls' Ice Hockey squad was no match for New Canaan as the Rams won in convincing fashion 6-1 at Darien Ice Rink on Friday. (1/21) In the second meeting between the two (the Rams ousting Darien in the first match up as well) it was all New Canaan right of the top. The Rams jumped out to an early 2-0 lead behind senior attacker Olivia Hompe. While the Wave had some quality shots at a goal late in the first, they could not convert. The Rams took advantage of its goalie's star performance and jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead at the start of the second period. Senior Ellie Bullitt scored early in the third to try and spark a Darien comeback. The Wave took 16 shots on goal in the third period alone, however only converted one. The Rams four shots in the third were effective, as they tacked on two late in the game to make a statement with a 6-1 win over a strong Darien team. This dropped the girls' to their fifth loss of the season. The Wave's next match up is away against Wilton at 6pm on Wednesday. (1/26)
