Fairfield Prep began the season on top of the GameTimeCT boys hockey poll. It finishes the year there, as well, after winning its 17th CIAC Division I championship on Tuesday, the state-record 18th overall. The road between those twin top rankings was anything but straight. Some years, the Jesuits are a clearly dominant team, like […]

NEW HAVEN — It’s a familiar story, rewritten every few years at Ingalls Rink, with a happy ending for Fairfield Prep, state boys hockey champions for the 14th time since 1991. The Jesuits got at least one goal from each of their four forward lines and defeated rival Notre Dame-West Haven 5-2 Tuesday night, defending […]
NEW HAVEN — It wasn’t like their regular-season meetings, but playoff hockey shouldn’t bear resemblance to regular-season hockey. It should be like Tuesday night’s CIAC Division II boys semifinal, a combination of the scrappy and the beautiful. Justin Hazard tied it for Glastonbury with a beauty with 48.5 seconds left, then won it straight off […]

It’s league championship season in Connecticut boys ice hockey, with the FCIAC and Nutmeg league tournaments already underway while the CCC and SCC/SWC begin theirs this week. There are also state tournament pairings that will be out by week’s end. Fairfield Prep, Xavier and Greenwich posted impressive victories this week, which has enabled the three […]
It was a complicated path to get there, but as was foreseen (and as some of us maybe secretly hoped), we got a little novelty at the back end of the FCIAC boys hockey tournament. Fairfield’s 7-2 win over Wilton on Thursday night left the Mustangs tied for fifth with Greenwich at 6-4-1 in conference […]
For the first time in eight years a team will take an unbeaten record into the postseason. After clearing its Fairfield Prep hurdle, 2-1, Ridgefield polished off its sterling regular season with formality victories over Wilton (10-3) and Westhill/Stamford (7-1) to become the first Division I team to go unbeaten heading into the postseason since […]
Editor’s note: Comments from Immaculate interim athletic director Nelson Mingachos have been added to this story. NEW HAVEN — What was already an odd year for the New Fairfield/Immaculate boys hockey program has taken another turn in the last few weeks of the co-op’s history. Coach Mike Bonelli, an Immaculate alumnus and a former Mustangs […]
Beginning with its thorough, 5-2 victory over preseason No. 1 Fairfield Prep, unbeaten Ridgefield (5-0) assumes the No. 1 spot in the GameTimeCT Top 10 Boys Hockey Poll heading into 2019.

Defending Division I state champion Fairfield Prep is the No. 1 team according to voters in the annual GameTimeCT / Register preseason hockey poll. The Jesuits earned 10 of 14 first-place votes. Three of the remaining four went to Ridgefield, which came in at No. 2. The last first-place vote went to 2017-18 Division I […]
