Eagles Freeze Terriers on Ice

Shane Mazur will be one of eight Wethersfield ice hockey seniors recognized for Senior Night on Saturday, Feb. 5, when the Eagles takes on South Windsor

Wethersfield ice hockey defeated co-op Rocky Hill/Middletown/Plainville/Haddam/Killingworth, 4-1, on Jan. 26 at the Newington Ice Arena.
           
It was the Eagles fourth straight victory, improving their record to 8-2-2 overall. 
           
Colby Quinn scored a pair of goals, while Will McCarter and Jay Socha each lit the lamp.
           
After falling behind 2-1, the Terriers cut the deficit in half late in the first period when Brody Davidson scored off an assist from Owen Davidson.
           
Wethersfield freshman keeper Owen Thulen, who was making his first start, kept the net clean the rest of the game to earn the victory.
           
Two years ago, Wethersfield and Rocky Hill were teammates on the ice, combining with Plainville and Middletown to create a co-op team that was on the cusp on doing something special. 
           
The 2019-2020 squad won 17 of 20 regular season games and advanced to the quarterfinal of the Division II tournament when the local sports world was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The rest of the tournament was canceled, leaving the co-op team with only “what ifs”. 
           
The following season, Wethersfield decided to have a standalone team, leaving Rocky Hill, Plainville, and Middletown to join forces with Haddam and Killingworth.
           
​Next up for Wethersfield is a pivotal game against South Windsor this Saturday, Feb. 5, at the Newington Ice Arena. It will be the Eagles’ Senior Night where they will celebrate Quinn, McCarter, Socha, Ryan Mazur, Shane Mazur, T.J. Mayfield, and Anthony Zabielski. Face-off is 7 p.m.
