Senior Class Award

For the first time, Connecticut High School Hockey will be presenting an award to one senior from each team in the state. These recipients are identified as players who have a great locker room presence, exhibit heart and an ever-present commitment to their respective programs. Each week on "The Road To The Whale" podcast, we will release a new group of players. Below are the players who've been honored so far.

We have teamed up with Central Connecticut State University's ACHA program to bring this award to you. If you want to further your career, compete, and move toward higher education at the same time, CCSU offers a fantastic program. NCAA DIII quality speed and coaching, paired with one of the most aggressive schedules in the Metro/Northeast area.
