Blue Wave Crushes Westhill

by Courtney Kyritz

Coming off of a tough game against New Canaan early this week, the Darien Boys Varsity hockey team came back for a win this past Saturday against the Westhill Vikings. The boys showed no mercy scoring eight goals letting Westhill go home with none. Now with a record of 13-4 the boys are still holding onto their ranking as number one in the FCIAC division.

Starting off in goal was senior Hunt Bartrum who displayed an impressive game with 12 saves. With a quick snapshot from the point off the draw junior Dana Wensburg puts in the first goal to get the team off to a good start.

The boys started off the second period strong offensively, just 3 minutes into the period Senior Captain Nick Bruno assisting senior George Gregory in a goal. Later on in the period Sophomore Jack Massie collects another goal for team, and with just 58 seconds remaining in the period Bruno scores twice more to put the Blue Wave ahead by four.

With a solid lead to begin the third period Nick Bruno scores yet again and sophomores Robbie Juterbock and Conner Davis score topping off the game, and ending on a good note.

Wensburg has high hopes for a strong future and said, “After a tough loss against NC [New Canaan] and a good rebound against Westhill we are looking to win out the season. We are going to take each game shift by shift but it would be a disappointment if we did not win.”

Come show your support at their up coming games this vacation week. Their next game will be Monday February 20^th at 2 PM, and they will be taking on South Windsor.
