Darien Falls to Don Bosco 5 to 2

By Sam Hickey

Last Thursday, February 11th, the Blue Wave’s Varsity Hockey Team took on New Jersey powerhouse Don Bosco at home at the Darien Ice Rink. This game featured some of the top ranked teams in the tri-state area with Darien at 3 wins and Don Bosco with 2. As was expected the game was extremely physical with both teams racking up a number of penalties. This proved to be Darien downfall as three of Don Bosco’s goals were scored on power plays.

Initially, Darien seemed like they might keep pace with Don Bosco when they equalized twice off goals from junior Tom Sulger and senior Riley Mullin. Then at the end of the 2nd, Don Bosco added another goal on one of 3 power plays, making the score 3-2. Don Bosco then went on to outscore Darien 2-0 in the third and seal the deal against a top ranked opponent in Darien.

When asked how his team could have played better junior Max Romeyn said, “I think if we stay more disciplined and don't give up some of those stupid penalties we have a great chance to win that game.”
