One of the biggest games of the season takes place tonight (Jan. 17) when No. 1 ranked Hamden travels to DiLungo Rink in East Haven to take on No. 3 East Haven at 7:30. Both teams have a pair of solid scoring lines, depth in the back line and two of the top goalies in the state. Hamden goalie Anthony Avitable and East Haven goalie John Palmieri are quick and aggressive and adept at being in the right position to make a save.
The teams also have solid veteran coaches with Bill Verneris at Hamden and Lou Pane at East Haven. Pane recently earned his 300th career win.
The game is expected to be a sellout, making it wise to get there early to secure decent parking.
