Wave Hockey Defeats Fairfield

by Michael Cassidy

On Wednesday, January 15, 2014, the Blue Wave Boys Hockey team took on Fairfield at the Darien Ice Rink (note that it was a joint Fairfield Warde and Ludlowe team that Darien was facing). In the pervious season, the Fairfield Co-op team put up a great fight versus Darien only losing by one goal. It was a well-played game for Fairfield because similar to this year, Darien was a heavily favorite. However, this year Fairfield could only be proud of being the first ones on the board, and keeping the game close through one period, because after that it was all Darien. Darien left the game with a solid 6-2 victory. Goals came from juniors Craig Miller, Tiger Sullivan, and Jack Pardue, as well as seniors Nick Allam and Tommy Watters, who put the puck in the back of the net twice in just eight seconds. “We came out sluggish in the first, but we really started to play our game in the second and that was where we buried them,” senior captain Jack Massie said. With that win, Darien is now 4-1-1, and remains undefeated in FCIAC play.

Come watch Darien’s next home game on Saturday against Westhill, 5:50pm at the Darien Ice Rink. Take a break from studying and cheer on the Blue Wave!
