Blue Wave Hockey Beats NC in Fall Final

by James Fox

Last Monday night at Terry Connor’s Rink in Stamford, Darien’s Varsity Boys Hockey Team took on New Canaan in the conclusion of their fall league play, beating its rival with a final score of 2-1.  New Canaan scored first with a power-play goal ten minutes into the first period, after senior Aidan Loh was sent to the box on a holding penalty.  The score stayed 1-0 through the second period due to the strong starting defense of both lineups.  Finally in the third period senior Carter Joyce, arguably one of the top prospects for this year, managed to put one in the back of the net, assisted by senior defender Nick Tuz.  Later, with only seconds left in the game, senior captain Craig Miller scored off a deflection, securing Darien’s Victory.

When asked about the game, defender Aidan Loh said, “Although we left with a W, we need to improve our play as a team if we want to have success in the regular season.

With this win, Wave Puck is looking forward to another successful season.
  You can catch the team’s home opener on December 17 at Darien Ice Rink against Hamden.
