Upon Further Review: On State Passing Records, Score Management And Asterisks For Darien And New Canaan

MSGVarsity’s Mike Quick and I were standing in the end zone adjoining the parking lot at New Canaan High School Friday night as Michael Collins arched his state-record-tying ninth touchdown pass of the night. Mike and I had spent the previous minutes discussing whether the mark was coming at the expense of good sportsmanship or not as Andrew Jahns was sprinting over the goal line.

The play sent Quick back to his Norwalk residence and left me alone to ponder our discussion — there was still over a quarter to go — as Collins came out for one more series to try and break the mark before wisely being given the rest of the evening off.

Boys Hockey 2015-16: Darien Has New Coach, New Cast And Same High Goals

By Emery Filmer December 17, 2015

It looks like a whole new world in Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference boys hockey. Last year it seemed it was just a matter of time before the coronation was held for Darien High School, which not only won the league crown but followed that up with the school’s first state championship in 45 years.

This year, with Darien losing a deep group of talent to graduation — not to mention its head coach, Chris Gerwig — the league appears to be wide open. Yes, there are the usual suspects: Darien, New Canaan, Greenwich and Ridgefield, a pack that can regularly be found residing among the top 10 in the state. Combined, the four schools have won the last 12 FCIAC titles and 19 of the previous 20.
