That Was Easy....

By Colin Flynn

Wave Puck was able to pull a fantastic performance against highly ranked Hamden in a 4-3 victory last Wednesday night.  Every goal was scored by someone different on the night as senior's Carter Joyce, Craig Miller, junior Jake Kirby, and sophmore Max Remeyn's each got on the score sheet.  Hamden came out hot taking the lead early in the first period, but Carter Joyce was able to come back with a fast response scoring midway through the first.  Hamden would then take the lead once again, only to have it equalized by junior Jake Kirby.  The Wave would then finally take the lead thanks to the skills of senior captain Craig Miller.  Late into the third period the battle between the two powerhouses would climax, and it surely did finish in fashion.  Hamden was able to get another goal, making the score 3-3, until sophmore Max Remeyn fired one past the rather short 5'6 Hamden goalie, making the score 4-3 Darien.  In the dying seconds Hamden pulled their goalie to add an extra forward on the ice, and with around 3 seconds left in the game, senior Will Massie pulled off possibly the best save of the year to preserve Darien the 4-3 victory.  After the game, senior captain Jack Pardue said, "The first game is always important as it sets a tone for the rest of the season.  Hamden definitly came ready to play and were wearing us down in the first period, but we came together and got the W."  Next up for Darien is Fairfield Prep, who dare come down to Darien Ice Rink this Saturday at 4:00pm.
