Trumbull Eagles Hockey

The Eagles went 1-2 in the FCIAC Christmas Tournament.  Trumbull showed flashes but were often unable to put together three periods of solid hockey.

Trumbull played a solid first period against Greenwich, with Anrew Kelly scoring the first goal of the game, but were badly out shot during the second and third periods.  They managed to hold on with some solid work from Andrew Oxfeld and entered the third period trailing 2-1.  The Eagles' inexperienced showed as they let up 4 third period goals (3 in the last few minutes).

THS rebounded with a 6-4 victory over Stamford.  Matt Bragano notched a hat-trick and linemates Brian Sarosky scored a goal and 3 assists and Andrew Kelly added 3 assists.  Trumbull was clearly in control from the start with a 3-0 first period but sloppy defensive play in the second let Stamford slip back and make it a game.

 The final game of the tournament ended in a 4-2 loss to highly regarded Fairfield HS.  Again, THS got off to a good start with two quick goals from Sarosky and Matt Hyde.  Fairfield was effective in getting the puck deep and taking advantage of the Eagle defense.  Although the shots were close throughout the game, Trumbull looked fatigued down the stretch and were unable to convert on a number of third period power plays.

Trumbull is now 2-2-0 with the toughest part of their schedule ahead.  They will travel to Danbury this Saturday to square off against Immaculate HS.
