At the halfway point of the season, the Trumbull Eagles sit at 5-5-0. They will need to find three more victories in their next ten games to secure a CIAC play-off spot. This will be no easy task with the toughest part of their schedule on the horizon.
The THS defense as been solid with young blueliners (Watson, Elbert & Dufficy) coming along nicely. The goaltending tandem of Chris Sarosky and Matt Paolini have given the Eagles a chance to win most nights and are only getting stronger. The forwards have had some trouble burying the rubber but when they skate hard and move the puck they're capable of doing some damage. Sophomore, Michael Ahearn currently leads the team in scoring with 6 goals and 11 points.
The Eagles seem to be flying under the radar despite starting the season with a 4-0-0 record and are one of only three CIAC DII teams that remain undefeated. Two of Trumbull's first four wins have come against DIII teams but they seem to be moving in the right direction.
THS has a big week ahead with the Immaculate/New Fairfield Co-op and Westhill on the schedule. Immaculate is a DI program but has struggled thus far with a 0-3-0 record. FCIAC rival, Westhill is playing solid hockey and sits just ahead of Trumbull with a 4-1-0 record. The Eagles have a great opportunity to move up in the standings, grab power points and earn some respect around the league.
