Boys' Hockey: Thursday and Friday's Top Games (2/24 and 2/25)

Thursday

Staples-Weston-Shelton @ Fairfield Warde/Ludlowe @ 345pm
-S-W-S, my top pick in DIII, faces another mid-level DII team and I think that yet again yet will come away with a win.

#4 Notre Dame-West Haven @ East Haven @ 430
-ND-WH is flying high right now but you really can't look past East Haven, especially at home. Both teams have already made the tournament and 9 points for a win here would help make their respective first round match-ups a lot more enjoyable.

Friday
-would have been nothing if not for the FCIAC tournament.  In fact, the two tournament are the two top games of the day.

Wilton @ #9 St. Joseph @ 330
-St. Joseph's got one day off this week on Thursday but is back in action on Friday (4 games in 5 days)!  They may have beaten Wilton 7-1 last time the two faced but that was about a month ago and both teams are riding a lot of momentum right now, not to mention this is a post-season game so you just never know!

Trumbull @ #2 New Canaan @ 6
-NC will be back in action against a quality opponent, but still DII, Trumbull.  Trumbull can pull the upset, and although I don't see it happening even with "anything being possible," this should still be a good game.  New Canaan still finished the regular season a perfect 20-0 and none of these FCIAC tournament games affect seeding for the teams in their respective state tournaments.  For those interest, NC beat Trumbull back on 2/5...7-0.
