Wilton beats Staples 7-6 in OT. I only started watching the stream mid way through the first quarter but by my count, Wilton only won a single face-off the entire game and it was on a false start. Pretty remarkable they were able to win with such a severe possession disadvantage. Staples missed a fe...

Prep wins in OT 8-7 over Darien. Maybe we will have another wild and wacky year where nothing makes sense. Hopefully .

1. Darien 2. New Canaan 3. Staples 4. Cheshire 5. Fairfield Prep 6. Wilton 7. Ridgefield 8. Greenwich 9. Fairfield Ludlowe 10. Glastonbury Wilton lost its opening game against Somers 10-9, they had 3 good looks in the last 2 minutes to tie it up but couldn’t. This looks like a rebuilding year for Wi...

Good win for Wilton and surprisingly very good goaltending play. For NC you have to be a little frustrated with their shooting. I give Blankenship a lot of credit but there were a few wide open chances for NC right on the crease where they just flung the ball on net without so much as a fake. The re...

Good set of games. NC has really come on strong near the end of the season when fully healthy. Not really sure what to make of their loss to Upper Arlington, difficult to gauge how good they are. It was incredible watching Wilton almost turd the bed in the exact same fashion they did against Darien ...

Wilton Beats Chaminade 11-10.

And the wild and wacky season continues.

Not especially surprising that NC lost to Stepinac. I'm not familiar with Stepinacs program history but this may be their best team ever, they are good this year and have depth all over the field. NC has done well but the second half of their schedule is a buzzsaw compared to the first half. Wilton ...

Wilton beats Staples 6-4. As I've said pretty much anyone from the top 6 can beat anyone this year. This is the most balanced year I can remember in at least a decade, maybe two. Tales of doom and gloom have been exaggerated and it really depends on which version of high school kids will show up on ...

Seems like the refs wanted to see it too! What an embarrassingly bad call at 50 seconds left. Too bad for the refs that the game was taped with replay. Showed the replay at least 3 times and Anderson wasn't within 18" of the crease. Even the Darien announcers were befuddled. Count that goal, w...

Good game between Prep and Darien. Darien was similar to what people expected, lots of underclassmen and a noticeable lack of seniors on the offensive side of the ball. Defense and goalie looked good but both teams were a little sloppy at times with dropped passes and mental mistakes, the weather se...

Agree that the Darien doom and gloom seems a little exaggerated. This senior class for Darien has notably underachieved relative to Darien's standards in Football and Hockey this school year, but they do still have a lot of talent on this team. In 2013 Darien didn't have any players at the level of ...

Looking ahead for CT 2023 Who Lost the Most Ridgefield - Many people, myself included had the spring of 22' circled for Ridgefield ever since this years Senior class saw a significant amount of varsity playing time as Freshman. I think it's safe to say this season was a bit of a disappointment compa...

Disappointing loss for Ridgefield, really feels like they let one slip away. Luckily for them they still have a chance of making a states run. Congrats to Greenwich. Darien vs Greenwich - Darien should come out a lot more focused than their last game against the cards. Greenwich seems to be peaking ...

Darien barely survives Greenwich 9-8 in double OT. Darien has had a bad habit of playing down to the level of their competition this season. NC was able to capitalize against them. But against Yorktown and Greenwich Darien barely escaped against teams they should, on paper be blowing out.

Wilton beat New Canaan last night 6-4. The stream from NFHS Network wasn't the best quality but it looked like Wilton was without Masterson and Caleb Rath, their 2 best midfielders. Both goalies and defenses played very well and Wilton was only able to break away in the final half of the 4th quarter...

NC 11-10 over Darien. Didn't see that coming. Obviously rivalry games involve more emotion and tend to have more unexpected results, but this is still a big head scratcher especially with Darien win over Chaminade.

Darien up 10-4 at the half right now. Major difference at the moment is faceoffs, Cummiskey has lost maybe 1 and is around 14/15 from the X for the half. Darien's O looking very impressive as well. Ridgefield's zone D is getting carved up but that may be a bit due to fatigue as they've spent a good...

According to twitter Ludlowe beat NC again 7-6. Second win in a row for Ludlowe over NC and their second victory ever over NC.

I had to rub my eyes a couple times while reading twitter to make sure I was not mistaken when seeing the Prep and Darien Score. 14-10 victory for Prep, definitely didn't expect that. This blows things up for the whole tournament. Its tempting to just bet on Prep now but if the past is any indicati...
