The Boys of the Darien Ice Hockey team are riled up and ready to make this season better than their last. They had an admirable standing last year of six wins and four losses with one overtime loss but they unfortunately didn't qualify for states or FCIAC's.
“I think last season was a bit of a tough year,” says Fin Batson, a notable defensemen. “But a lot of younger players got a lot of exposure to the varsity level and helped our growth coming into this (current) season."
This year the team, led by captains Will Dickson (Forward), Connor McCarthy, and Hunter Hazelton (Defenseman) are looking for redemption. They’ve trained vigorously for the past three months under the instruction of Coach Budd whose been described as tough but fair and knows how to motivate his players.
Tryouts start this December 2nd followed by their first scrimmage against St. John’s Prep in Middletown, Massachusetts
