It’s that time of year again: the weather is colder, the sun
is shyer, and the hockey season has returned. Darien High School’s Girls Hockey
team holds a very promising season this year. The girls look forward to their
first game not only because it will be against longtime rivals New Canaan, but
also because “It will be our first time playing New Canaan without Olivia Hompe
ever, so it will be interesting to see how our mental preparation differs,”
senior captain Shannon Hall said. According to fellow senior captain Ellie
Bennett, “It will test our team too because it’s a huge game and it will be our
first game together.” The girls have six new players, five freshmen and one
sophomore. “I am excited to see how they work into our lineup. We have a huge
amount of potential,” Bennett said. Their team is very young with only three
seniors, and the captains still consider themselves the “underdogs”, determined
to prove themselves this season. Hall encourages all students to come to the
season opening game because “Blue Wave Pride, you gotta support.”
Their opening game is against New Canaan on December 11th at
Darien Ice Rink at 6 o’clock. Show some Blue Wave Pride and go to the game!
