Blue Wave Hockey was 1- 6 last season. This year they have managed to win 2, lost 4, tied once. Neirad interviewed senior captain Doug Miller (pictured) to get his take on how he is doing personally, and how the team is doing so far this year. “I thought I’ve been playing pretty well recently, I’ve been playing a lot on the special teams and 5 on 5”. So far Miller has gotten one goal against West Haven, and his team has steadily improved from the 2010 season.
The hockey team tied against Notre Dame of Fairfield in the ending moments in the 3rd period with only a minute to go on Saturday. (1/8) “Last week we took a step in the right direction with our win and tie against Notre Dame of Fairfield,” Miller said. “With the FCIAC season coming to a start, we need to make sure we keep going,” Miller added. While the team is doing well so far this season, there are some areas of improvement. “We gotta work on our penalty kill because we have been giving up a lot of goals.” Although they do have two wins so far this year, the hockey team does have some big games coming up this season. “New Canaan is always a big game, and so is St. Joes, so we need to keep improving”.
The hockey team has a big game tonight (1/11) against Greenwich. “playing at Greenwich is going to be tough, but if we come out with a win there, that’ll be good,” Miller said. Come cheer them on at 5pm at Dorothy Hamill Skating Rink.
