NORTH BRANFORD — The defending CIAC Division II boys hockey champion was on the ropes Monday night in the first round of the tournament, a top seed down by two goals to South Windsor, the last team that snuck into the tour…
The defending champions are back on top of the GameTimeCT Boys Hockey Top 10 Poll as the CIAC playoffs begin. Fairfield Prep hopped over Darien to the top spot in a bit of a split vote; three teams got first-place nods. The Jesuits are seeking their third straight Division I title, and they’re coming off […]
WEST HAVEN — They’ve played three spectacular boys hockey games, and if they can somehow make their separate ways to the CIAC Division II final, maybe they’ll play a fourth in two weeks.
In the meantime, Br…
WEST HAVEN — North Haven coach Chris Avena felt he had plenty to motivate his team heading into the Southern Connecticut Conference Division II semifinals against Hand-Madison. Not only were the third-seeded Indians underd…
This week’s GameTimeCT top 10 poll looks a lot like last week’s as the regular season comes to an end. But two tweaks hit the bottom. Simsbury, riding a four-game winning streak into the playoffs, hopped back in at No. 9. Notre Dame-Fairfield hung on, leaving Hand on the outside after two weeks at No. […]

With one week to go in the regular season, and one conference’s postseason getting underway Saturday, the GameTimeCT top 10 poll stayed pretty steady this week. The 10 teams remained the same, we split a tie, and only one other set of teams switched places. The top five remained identical, led by No. 1 Darien, […]
BRANFORD — Billy Linder’s goal 6:07 into overtime gave No. 8 Branford a 2-1 win over North Haven on Wednesday night at Northford Ice Pavilion.
We’re getting there. The regular season will be over in two weeks. And though the top of the GameTimeCT boys hockey top 10 poll remained the same, with Darien a unanimous No. 1, there was a bit of churn underneath. New Canaan, a week after dropping to fifth off a loss to Darien, has rebounded […]
The last time Milford played a postseason boys hockey game was 2015. That will change in two weeks.
Milford’s 8-0 win Monday night over Shepaug put the Indians into the SCC/SWC Division III tournament. It’s…
MILFORD — Jonathan Law’s performance on the balance beam proved to be the difference at the SCC Championships in the James Richetelli Sr. Gymnasium on Thursday night. Law defeated Mercy, 126.60 to 126.40, to win the title. Coach Pat Simon’s Lady Lawmen posted a score of 32.30 to the Tigers’ 29.80 on the beam to […]
Hey, look who’s back on top. And for the first time this season, it’s unanimous.

Darien has led the poll four of […]

NORTH BRANFORD — Westhill/Stamford’s Nick Ulbrich had Jack Manware lined up. The Branford senior had circled in the neutral zone, and Ulbrich had a bead on him in the third period.
And as Ulbrich arrived, M…
Styles, to borrow a phrase from an entirely different sport (at least at this level), make fights. And maybe that’s what we’re seeing this season in Connecticut boys hockey. This team has no answer for that team’s size. But that team has no answer for that other team’s speed. And that other team can’t handle […]
SHELTON — A strong second-half performance carried Shelton to a 50-34 Southern Connecticut Conference girls’ basketball win over Branford at Murray Gymnasium on Friday night.

As a few teams reach the midpoint of their season, this looks like one of those fun years where no boys hockey team is safe, where no one will run away with Division I, where any game is up for grabs on any given night. They’re fun, that is, unless you’ve got to try to […]
NORTHFORD — It’s been all about defense for defending Division II champion Branford.
