                                                                                                                                      Danbury and their classic Hatter logo gave it a go but fell short with 30% of the vote.

                                                                                                                                      Harding was third at 15% with Naugatuck picking up 11% and Plainfield coming in with 10%.

                                                                                                                                      Granby was always going to be tough to beat and we hope their sick helmets inspire other teams around the state to go bold with designs.
