Greenwich to put a little ‘Blues’ in Garden State
Greenwich Post - Greenwich,CT
For the first time in 35 years, the Greenwich Blues Pee Wee ice hockey team will be competing at the national level. After beating Mid-Fairfield in the regional tournament, the Blues will represent the Northeast as they play the Wisconsin Fire on Wednesday.

In the state finals, the Mid-Fairfield hockey team took the Connecticut championship, beating the Blues 4-1. Despite the loss, the top two teams in Connecticut automatically represent the state in the Tier I New England Regional Championship, which meant Greenwich could look for redemption at the regional level.
With a bitter taste still in their mouths, Greenwich came roaring back in the New England tourney, which took place in Hartford earlier in the month. During the tournament, the Blues plowed through their opponents in the preliminaries, beating Rhode Island 6-0 and Vermont 10-3, and tying New Hampshire 3-3.
In the championship round of the tournament, Greenwich upended the Edgewood Hawks of Rhode Island 5-1 during the semifinals and gained a rematch against Mid-Fairfield. This time around it was the Greenwich Blues that came away with a 4-1 victory and will represent New England in the USA Hockey Tier I Pee Wee National Championship.
Wednesday’s 12-year-old national championship tournament will take place in Hackensack, N.J., at the Ice House Arena. Greenwich will see action at 9:45 a.m. when they battle the Wisconsin Fire, the No. 5 team in the country. Thursday at noon, the Blues are back in action when they face off against Team Maryland, the 10th best team in the country. ...
