Darien Native Returns to Help Boys Hockey Team

by Annie Sullivan

Kevin Sullivan is a senior at Union College and plays Division One hockey. Before Union, he played varsity hockey at DHS for two years and then went on to boarding school.

Now that Kevin has a week off from school, he's spending his time relaxing and, of course, playing more hockey. During his break, he will be attending some of the hockey team’s practices to help out the Wave Puck players. "It's cool coming back to Darien and seeing the hockey players in action! It brings back a lot of great memories,” Sullivan says.  Sullivan wants to make an impact on the players, hoping to help them on their game. "A few of the kids have siblings that are my age, so it's fun helping out their siblings and seeing them play hockey for a change,” he added. 

Kevin is skating alongside the boys over his Christmas break. “Kevin is a great example for our squad because he has experience at the Division One level,” senior Robbie Juterbock says. Kevin hopes to help his alma mater in terms of learning new skills and stay in shape at the same time! “Everything he does on and off the ice makes an impact on his game and our game as a team. From Sully’s saucy passes to his quick dangles to the way he moves with the puck, our team looks at him like a pro,” Juterbock added.

The hockey team’s next is against Fairfield Prep on Saturday at 1:00pm.
