Darien Boys Hockey Ties New Canaan 0-0


By Brendan Ferguson

This past Wednesday, December 19th, the Darien Boys Hockey team took on rival New Canaan and ended up in a zero-zero tie. For the second consecutive game in a row, the two teams found themselves battling it out in a period in overtime.

Unfortunately for the Wave, there were no goals scored in the period causing the game to be forced to a tie due to rules in the FCIAC.

It was truly the two goalies, Darien goalie and senior Mike Collins and New Canaan goalie Chris Koennecke, who stole the show with 67 saves in total between the two.

It was indeed Collins who kept the Wave in the game with 29 remarkable saves throughout the game.

There was a bit of controversy in the student section that game. Apparently, many students were not allowed into the student section by authorities because of “overcrowding”

One anonymous student that was in the student section comments, “Crowding?? We [the student section] had more room than we ever have had. There were sections that were very open.”

All in all, it was a great performance by all the players; come check out the team tonight at 7:30 at Darien Ice Rink as the team takes on Notre Dame of Fairfield.
