The Trumbull Eagles improved to 9-7-1 with a 7-2 win over New Fairfield HS on Senior Night.  Fittingly, it was the upper classmen that led the way to victory over the Rebels.  Senior, Max Walker had two goals and two assists while Trevor Saggese added a goal and Andrew Vietze had two helpers.  Trumbull's seven seniors, Andrew Vietze, Andrew Pierson, Trevor Saggese, Alex Hyde, Shaun Kennedy, Max Walker and Charles Genster have all played a big part in this season's success. 

The Trumbull Eagles got their eighth win of the season which qualifies them for the CIAC D2 Tournament.  Trumbull is the second team to qualify this season and currently sits in third place in the division with a record of 8-3-0.

The Eagles  bested Westhill 3-1 in a penalty filled game.  Matt Paolini put in a fine performance bewtween the pipes, making 31 saves.  Trevor Saggese opened the scoring for THS, Max Walker got the game winner on a power play and Andrew Vietze added an empty netter.  Andrew Pierson had two assists.  Alex Hyde might be the unsung hero of the game, supplying offensive pressure,  helping kill off eight Westhill power plays and taking key face-offs in the final minutes.

Miressi Scores Twice as Ice Hockey Wins Thriller Over Worcester 3-2

With the Lancers (7-4-3, 4-3-1 MASCAC) trailing 2-1 entering the final stanza freshman Derek Serbon (Crown Point, IN) sent in the game-tying goal at 13:37 on assists from junior Nick Asterito (Philadelphia, PA) and freshman Mark Owen (Denver, CO).

The Rams (2-10, 2-7 MASCAC) then killed a pair of penalties midway through the period to set up Miressi's late game heroics as he received some help on the breakaway score from sophomore Ben Pacific (Marlboro, Mass.) and first-year Bo Driscoll (Chelmsford, Mass.).

Worcester State opened the second period with the first marker of the season from sophomore Pat Stychiewicz (Chicopee, Mass.) at 2:28, but Framingham State would respond with the game-tying goal 54 seconds later from junior Aran Ward (Dunstable, Mass.) and the go-ahead tally from Miressi with 3:51 off the clock on a power play.  Ken Tanaka (Wayland, Mass.) and Jamie Pollara (Plymouth, Mass.) assisted on the Miressi's game-tying score.

Miressi now leads Framingham State with nine goals and five assists for a team-best 14 points.

Senior, Andrew Vietze returns as the Trumbull captain for the 2010-2011 season.  Vietze is the first two-year captain since Craig Sliva ('96).  Vietze is an excellent student and always provides the Eagles with a big effort and outstanding defense.

Vietze is joined by alternate captains, Trevor Saggese and Andrew Pierson.  The two seniors are also academic standouts, committed hockey players and represent the THS hockey program well both on and off the ice.

Hockey Night in Boston has Trumbull at #5 in their CIAC DII preseason poll.  The Eagles will face four of the top ten teams in their first five games of the season.
